POSITION CLEAR

UNITED NATIONS (CP) —
Canada called on the General
Assembly today to move
“promptly and effectively" to
seat the People’s Republic of
China in the United Nations,

The call by External Affairs
Minister Mitchell Sharp was as
close as Canada has ever come
to asking for rejection of United
States proposals designed to re-
tain a seat for Chinese Nationa!-
ists on Taiwan.

Sharp said in the assembly's
general debate:

“It may mark a turning point
in our history and opportunity
for a new beginning, if this as-
sembly moves promptly and
effectively to seat the People’s
Republic of China in the China
i seat.
eo “The only question before us
a is who should occupy the exist-
ing China seat, The Canadian
position is clear, the govern-
ment that has responsibility for
the overwhelming majority of
the Chinese people now must
take its proper place here—the
government of the People’s Re-
public of China,”

A copy of his speech was re-
leased in advance.

Sharp also said that until
China has the UN seat and takes
part in disarmament dis-
cussions “agreements in this
important area will be at best
incomplete and at worst inef-
fective.”

In a news conference prior to
his speech, the minister added
that the absence of China has
been a source of great weakness
in the UN. The seating of China,
he said, will not make the solu-
tion of problems any easier but
“it will enable the UN to deal
with problems more realisti-
cally.”

He agreed with a reporter
that the UN willbe a more vola-
tile place once China is a mem-

Sharp’ s China references
were the strongest made by
Canada ina speech here, While
Canada has made it clear it
cannot support the U.S. propos-
als for the seating of both the
Communists and the National-
ists, it has declined to lobby
against the U.S.

Other matiers dealt with by
Sharp touched on the environ-

nomic policy, and divided coun-
tries.

ment, disarmament, U.S, eco- .

Sharp repeated Canadian
calls for an end to nuclear test-
ing, especially underground ex-
plosions, mentioning that the
Soviet Union had set off such an
explosion in the last few days
and the U.S. proposes a larger
one on Amchitka Island in

Alaska.
MAY GO AHEAD
Canada has _ strongly

protested the planned American
test, Sharp expressed fear in his

‘news conference that the U.S.

will go ahead with its test be-
cause of the Soviet action, The
White House has not yet an-
nounced whether the test will
proceed as scheduled.

He said in his speech:

“Competitive testing must
not be advanced by nuclear
powers as a justification for
maintaining the momentum of
the arms race,

“The danger is that it will and
this brings home to us all the
urgent need for a complete ban
on nuclear testing.”

Sharp repeated his
statements to the Geneva
disarmament talks earlier this
month that while a nuclear test-
ban treaty is being worked oul,
the nuclear powers should limit
the number and size of tests.

On environment, the minister
held up the Great Lakes as an
example that underdeveloped
countries_must not follow.

The “astronomical expenses”
incurred by the U.S. and Can-
ada in an attempt to deal with
Great Lakes pollution, he said,
would not have occurred if the
two countries had been “able to
foresee and forestall the dam-
age we have done to the largest
fresh water system on earth.”
MUST PLAN AHEAD

He told the underdeveloped
nations they could have the in-
dustrialization they seek
without pollution through
farsighted planning and careful
attention to design.

Sharp interjected a new note
into frequent references here
that divided countries will soon
be members of the United Na-
tions.

The implication of his re-
marks were that while the Ger-
manies probably .are ready to
join, the Koreas and Vietnams
have yet too many problems, He
said-divided countries mist fot
bring their special problems
and conflicts into the UN.

| Canada wants China
sitting at the UN

Along much the same lines,
he said the political situation in
East Pakistan is of no business
to the UN because it is an inter-
nal matter. However, he en-
dorsed UN humanitarian efforts
to help East Pakistan refugees
and said this‘kind of effort
should be strengthened.

At his news conference, he
cited the Biafran experience as
an example of an internal affair
that was out oc the purvue of the
UN, He said external inter-
ference in the internal affairs of
Nigeria “‘only succeeded in pro-
longing the war."

SLAPS U.S. POLICIES

Sharp made an indirect slap
at United States economic poli-
cies which inelude the 10-per-
cent extra duty on imports,
Everyone suffers ‘‘when trade
is impeded by setting up new
obstacles to its free flow or by
instability in world monetary
arrangements,” he said.
