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. “Cana a a power—mot a pup- pet: that's the attitude we take." Mr. Diefenbaker declared at Chatham. Ont.. March 6. i I Agriculture Minister Hamilton. put it another way at a press: lconferenc~2 "Don't push us around. chum." said Americans “don't even know we're a sovereign ‘country here—they think we're ;a Guatemala or something." IWASHINGTON SILENT j The words brought a protest‘ from a Guatemalan diplomat. -but silence from Washington where U.S. government's lapparent policy is to avoid get- iting mixed up in Canada's elec- ‘ ‘tion attle. Before the campaign began,. however. one incident occurred iwihose reverberations are still. i i i that American Defence Secre- the eight American and two Canadian Bomarc missile bases fill a useful role because the wou-ld draw enemy fire in the event of war. His view was given to a House of Represent- atives subcommittee. 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.

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.

A US. Air Force spokesman in Washington said this was classified information. :1: III as 3‘ 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.

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. Last week Mr. iefenbaker flatly denied a press report by Sout-ham News Services that the “root cause of much of his bit- terness" towards the U.S. stems from the contents of a secret his hands in 1961. prepared for President . nedy's Ottawa visit that year— denied. that said Canada should be “pushed” article was _ to take certain steps including among members of the Liberal acceptance of nuclear weapons Who's Who- under joint ctntrol. pressures that could be brought to hear on the Canadian govern- baker told ment. that a U.S. Mr. Dicfenbakcr said the re- coming out port was “completely false." dians how minister there The prime spoken often of "p 0 we r f uul interests against Canada was t : me."
