Worth Considering

The high cost-of school construc: tion is a problem which faces us both on the provincial and municipal level, and which for all Canada adds up to something like $600 million a year. ‘Of general interest, therefore. is a study which is to -begin-in-Metropol- | itan Toronto in July to determine ways of reducing school construction costs. The news follows a report in the Financial Post that already, in

Dean Rusk’s Statement

By Rod Currié Canadian as Staff Writer

Dean Rusk’s dentat that the -United States has shelved’ plans \for sharing ownership of NATO's nuclear weapons sys- tem takes the whole controvérsy once again back to square one.

The U.S. state secrétary's statement was aimed _ spéci- fically .at a published report that ‘the U.S. had decided to | ask West Germany to forego in- | definitely évén nominal _owner- ship of part of the NATO nu- clear arsenal.

But aside from shooting down ~the~story the statement-gave-no /new clué as to the ideas being 'exchanged in secret discussions among the 14 other NATO mem- bers on what form thé alliance ‘should take after France with- draws from its military ar- rangements. ; POLICY UNCHANGED | As Rusk himself put it, the | Question of nuclear sharing re- mains “unfinished business.’

And he referred to a White | House document of four months ago which, in the opaque lan- | Guage of diplomacy, reiterated ‘the U.S. position that arrange- | ments ‘‘could’ be made so that alliance members who do not ‘have nuclear weapons “could have ‘‘an appropriate’ share in ; nuclear defence.

That policy still. stands- today. The question of whether the 'U.S. should share control of its nuclear force among its NATO | allies has for a long time been

a controversial one — particu- | larly as regards bh au Germany.
