March 10 — (CPL- Prime Minister Mackenzie King, today took the Commons behlnti the scenes .of inter-governmental discussion over the withdrawal of the Canadian occupation force from Germany and disclosed that Britain unsuccessfully sougiht to have Canada reconsider the with- drawing order. Speaking on an Opposition mo- tion for production of inter. governmental communications on the matter. Mr. King told the House why mnada had with-- draw-n her tentative commitment, made curly in 1946, to supply a land force of 25,000 rrtch and an Li: force oi 11 R. C. A. F. squad- rohs. He said the decision to with- draw the force had been taken b0’ the Cabinet in December, 1946. because of tihe "serious" administrative problems involved in keeping so small a number of men so far a distance from home. Britain Aired Reconsideration Britain pronfltly asked the Do- minion to reconsider this decis- ion and later made a similar ap- proach when Eirternel Affairs Minister St. Laurent, the-n Just- ice Minister, and other Canadian Cabinet Ministers were in Lon- don, but on both occasions was told the Canadian Government could not modify its action. .Mil'. King's LEGO-word review I of the Mthdrawel also served as a response to Opposition re- quests made during the ‘Throne Speech debate last week for a clear-out Government statement on the move, which some said was dictated by "political expedi- enoy." The Prime Mlinlster Canadian army occupation force was to have been Staiioncd in the British zone of occupation and the R. C. A. F‘. squadrons were to have been stationed partly in Ger-many and partly in the United Kingdom. Mr. King said Canada made this commitment Jan. 9, 1945. at the same time advising Britain that there were "some over-ail considerations of policy which the Canadian Government fcit should be‘ communicated inter- governmentaliy."
