Canada To Speed lip Defence Plans

OTTAWA, 50M. 26 -— (OP) — A\ series o1 week-end developments, none major but all straws in the

wind, emphasized the Govern- ment's growing uneasiness over the international situation and

determination to speed Canada's defence preparations.

Concern over the "short-term possibilities" of the international situation has led the Government to push its defence plans ahead as rapidly as possible. Defence Minister Claxtnn said in a state- ment issued Saturday night. l-Ie declared that the country wants stronger aimed forces-now.

Earlier, naval headquarters an- nounced that commanding c-fiic- ers of the 20 naval divisions into which Canada is divided will as- semble Tuesday to discuss "every phase of the naval reserve pict- ure." '

Commanding officers of the army-Ks military districts will meet in October. Army sources describ- ed this meeting as a routine con- ference held annually at about the same tfme. _ I

The Ottawa Citizen said, bow- ever, that it had learned authc~r- itatively that detailed plans for Canada's mobilization in the ev. ent of war are tn be drawn up at a, series of conferences this aut- llmn and winter it w" the plans would be laid at a series of seri- iiir-cfficer (OIIiBICIICCS to be held bciwecn now and next. February and that the army would draw up its plan next month.

Mr. Claxtc-n's statement on the international situation appeared in the middle of a message thanking the r-oilntry for its interest in, and support of, Army Work.

Or, in the words of the Daily Mirror, calmly bewildered allfl ap- prellensively steady.

Dr. Cyril Garbett. Archbishop of York. summed it up in a speech in the House of Lords:

"This country has had n great shock in the last few days because for the first time it was realized there is a palsihility of war."

At least smie veterans n( the 1039-45 fighting, reminded by Defence Minister A.V. Alexander that they were still subject to in- stant recall tn service, said they were getting their uniforms clean- ed and pressed, .

The RJLI". issued n call for 20,000 air defence volunteers for manning radar instruments and other idevices fnr spotting planes and sighting anti-aircraft guns.

All of the man-inustreet war talk was unemotlonsl.

At higher levels the discussion was less pointed but equally grim. Financial circles discussed the costs of transition from consumer

production io partial military preparedness. _ There la all linmiatakable change

in the atmosphere.

Travellers from abroad have re- rnerired for months on the Brit- ish calm, While war scares have come and gone both to the east pnd west of these islands, the av-

erage Briton was apt either to joke about them. or simply ignore them.

y Now, in less than two weeks. -tbls country has been told that ‘demobilization oi the aimed forces lls to he slowed; the army, navy and air forces are to be strength- ened with both men and material; production of weapons is to be greatly increased; civilian defences are to be brought to a state o1 in- stant readiness,

Government and military lead- ers nre waiting anxiously to find what will be the public'a response tn n big military recruiting cam- paign which starts this week to strengthen the volunteer territor- isl reserve army.

Speakers up and down the country will try to enlist 150.000 volunteers for pert-this service.

But. it is stated officially that a preliminary survey has shown there is general apathy through- out. Britain about the territorial anny and its purpose.

This does not mean that Britons are not alive to the dangers of the present world tension. But it does reflect in some extent the complete ahsnre of any war hys- teria in the country.

(By Alan Harvey)

PARIS. Sept. 26—lCPi—Russla's fiery Andrei vlShlllSky, in a blist- ering attack, charged Saturday that a group of leaders in the Western bloc are mapping an at- omic war against Russia.

He blasted the United States as leading a "wild armaments race" and seeking to dominate the world. The Russian Deputy Foreign Min- ister then urgecl the five great powers to scrap one third of their land. sea and air forces and de- manded a ban on the atomic bomb

In a rapid-fire, 50-minute speech before the United Nations General Assembly Vlshlmky called on‘ the world body to set up "within the framework of the Security Coun- cll" an international control body to carry out reduction of arm- aments and armed forces of Bri- tain, the United States, France, Russia and China, His proposed one-third slash would be put into effect within one year.
