ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TIWURSDAY, MARCH 20th, 1969 Russell C. Honey, M.P.', Northumberland - Durham One of the first items on the agenda of t he new Prime Min- ister when h. took office last summer was a full review of Canada's foreigu policy. Mr. Tru- deau indicated that this study would be in depth and would not be hampered by old traditions or concepts. The Standing Committee of the flouse of Commons on Foreign Affairs and National Defence is presently in Europe as part of this study. Shortly after the Com- mittee returns to Ottawa this week it will report to Par liament and the Prime Minister lias in- Seairchinlg (Continued from Page -4) water." When society is eventually sick- ened with itself, and begins to ask the question "where can we find meaning and- fulness of life," the invitation of Christ will stili be the ansjer, for in Him man can be delivered out of the slavery of bis own making into the true freedom of God's intended pur- pose. larke Public LI BRAR Y HOURS OPEN: Tuesday 6:30- 8:30 Thursday 6:30 8:30 Friday 2:30 - 5; 6:30 - 8:30 Saturday 10 - 12 Callyour licensed Plumbing & Mecha,nlcal Contractor who selis, instails 'i jOd guarantees 1 CAIRM AN PLUMBING AND HEATING Phione 983-5207 Orono dicated that shortly thereafter the goverament will make an an- Aspects of our foreign policy now u'iýr review are sucli items as our place if any, in the North At!antic Treaty Organization (NA TO), whether or not Canada should join the Association of American States (OAS), and the question of recognition' of Red CWna and the- Vatican. The NATO question is by f ar the most important and difficuit. There are a number of options open. We would stay in NATO more or less as we are. On the other, hand we could decide to re- main in NATO as a signator, but d -aqtically reducing our forces in Europe. We could remain in NATO and remove ail our forces and keep them in Canada as an auxilliary force to be dispatched to Europe if and when required, or, lastly, we could get out of NATO altogether. Insofar as the OAS is concern- ed there are two main arguments. The OAS is comprised of western hemispheric nations with the ex- ception of Canada. Tfraditionally the group has boan dominated by the United States and one_ argu- ment lias been that Canada can have more influence on décisions affecting this ,haïnispheî-e if it does nlot encumber itself within this alliance . The counter-argu- ment is that we can bc more ef» fective as a member of the OAS. Other items in tlv%- review are the que stions of diplomatic re- lations with Communist China and the Vatic an. Arguments in support of these movs indicate that Ca~nada ýhould recogn ize the facts of the situations. The Comn- munist government of China is the de facto and legal goveril- ment of over 600,000,000 people. We have growing, trade with China and flic arguments in fav- eur of recognition seemns to be weighty. If may be fime we got rid of the pretence that Chiang Kai Shek and bis government on Taiwan have any legal or moral riglit to dlaimi to represent main- land (China.' *,Arguments wlth respect fo recognition of flie Vatican should be viewed in its context free from emotional consîderations on one side or the other. Those in favour of recognizing the Vatican point out advantages fromn the. diplomatic standpoint of having a Canadian representative in foucli with other representatives from the approximately 70 coun- tries who have representation 's in Home. Counter-arguments on this point are along the lines of main- taining 'a separation between churcli andstate. On ail questions of foreign pol- icy Canadians will have to weigh the arguments, for and against ecdi item lin a manner character- istic of our stature as a mature nationi, free from lexternal pres- 'Sures andf old prejudices.
