He indicated Canada has en- tered a new and stronger pro- test in the NATO council, of .which Greece and Turkey are :members, concerning the arms buildup in the island.

He said the buildup has taken place despite protests in the NATO council and the requests made by UN Secretary-General U Thant.

"At the instance of Canada and pursuant to information which we believe was as reli- able as it could be there have been discussions in the NATO council," he sai .

The “intervention” of NATO was not designed to interfere in any way with the UN's work.

“However, NATO has an in- terest, a responsibility, and I believe. an obligation to see it that none of its members take any course that adds to the difficult and complicated task that has been imposed on the UN." -
