Sparks have been struck from a half-dozen rough spots in Ca- inedian-American relations rang-. ling from joint defence to thei iadequacy of Canadian foreign "aid.
Through it all has run Prime 1Minister Diefcnbaker's vigorous campaign on the theme of Ca- nadian nationalism -- ap- proach termed pro-Canadian by,
v him and anti-American by his
political opponents.

In a speech at Kingston. 0nt..
Mr. Diefenbaker related this to the Liberal position that Canada beg h
as a commitment to equip the Bomarc missiles with nuclear warheads. saying “the. Pearson policy is to make Canada a de- coy for the intercontinental mis- silea."
PEARSON COMMENTS
Liberal Leader Pearson inter- preted Mr. McNamara’s re- marks to mean that the 30- marc is of limited value. “There is nothing new in that," he said in Victoria. “I said the same thing years ago.”
New Democratic Leader Douglas laid the McNamara view “completely punctures" the Liberal party's argument that a gap exists in North Amer- ican defence because the Bo- marcs are not tipped with on- clear warhea a.
Social Credit Leader Thomp- son said that if the McNamara statement becomes an election issue. it would increase anti- Americanism which he felt should have no part in the cam- paign.

At another point he said "an economic satellite becomes a political satellite. as surely as night follows day."
9 New Democrats' solution: Measures enabling Canadians to regain ownership and control of their industry.
MUST STAND WITH U.S.
The Social Credit leader says Canada must stand with its allies. Eventually. Canada will join in an economic union with the U.S. and South American countries. Mr. Thompson fore‘ cast at Vernon. B.C.. March 16 “It won't come all at once but let's start working toward it."
George Hees. on his resigna- .tion Feb. 9 as trade minister. said the government's attitude .on nuclear warheads “cannot but lead a deterioration of our relations with the United States.”
The previous day. Mr. Dlef- ‘enbaker had said the govern- iment's attitude was “to co-oper- 'ate but not to be subservient. to make our policies on behalf of deter-

Mr. Diefenbaker denied he had revealed secret informa- tion. adding that “some in-
cognito in Washington w as 5 oc ed."
In Halifax March 15 he waved a 1961 press release by NORAD headquarters which said there were “about 55 squadrons of interceptors." The prime minis- ter said anyone could figure out the number of planes.
The press release said nothing about the extent of nuclear arm~ ament on the planes.
The same press release gener— ated another issue. Mr. Diefen- baker read from it these words: ‘Bomarcs can be equipped with either high explosive or nuclear warheads.”
Later, NORAD issued a state- ment saying an unsatisfactory attempt had been made to de- velop a non-nuclear warhead for the Bomarc A. As for the Bomarc B—the type in Canada —no such warhead had been developed and it would take at Ie"st three years and more than $30.000.000 to develop a non- nuclear warhead.
More sparks flew when Ex- Affairs Minister Green said he didn't like the idea of n U.S. consulate employee attend» ing his election meetings. The
.S. embassy ’11 Ottawa said it was a normal practice. FOREIGN AID CROPS UP
A special commitee ap- pointed by President Kennedy issued a report a week ago sug- gesting that Canada and some other nations were lagging in foreign aid spending compared with the US.
“Another case of Americans trying to tell Canada what to do." said Mr. Green sharply.
