DEFENCE OF PACIFIC
Need For Pact Stressed CANADIAN MEMBER’S PROPOSAL OTTAWA, June 9. An Opposition member in the House of Commons today urged the Canadian Government to create a Pacific defence pact including Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United States. He was Mr Howard Green, Progressive Conservative member for Western Canada, who said Canada had much to gain and nothing to lose by urging a defence pact. Canada would need help badly including the aid of both Australia and New Zealand, if war broke out in the Pacific. Mr Green also called on the Canadian Government to provide immediate aid to the forces resisting Communism in the South-west Pacific. He said Canada should announce promptly what she intended to do about giving such aid, and Parliament should include a money vote for that purpose in its present session.
