(CP) — Though the Soviet Union is ‘to blame for the arms race and for increased international | tensions; therei is no cold war, former U.S. national security advisor Richard Allen said Wednesday. — . ~ “I do not believe we have actually retrogressed to a state | of Cold War nor do f accept the sombre proposition that we are inexorably being drawn closer to nuclear war,” said Allen, . the, keynote speaker at the 5ist Couchiching Con- ference, an annual think-tank session. _ Allen, who resigned from. President Ronald Reagan’ 8 cabinet in January after a scandal in which he allegedly accepted ‘gifts from a Japanese magazine, told: the -150 delegates that misplaced American optimism has.led to . foreign policy disasters in the Carribbean, Central America and America — places where the Soviet Union and the United States locked “down a nuclear gun barrel . eyeball to eyebail”’ ; “We Wanted peace desperately and believed the other side. did too bute. were wrong," he said. |The Soviets have embarked on’ a massive and protracted ‘military buildup which -has ‘left thé United States in a dangerous and | provocative State of weakness, “We have to close the window of vulnerability as ‘quickly and prudently as is humanly possible." ; The theme of the five-day conference,. organized by the Couchiching Institute on’ Public Affairs, is The New Cold’ ~ War. The institute is a non-profit, non-partisan organization . founded in 1931- to . provide public forums for the examination of Canadian-and global issues, _ Though most of the scheduled speakers at the conference are Canadians, there also will be speakers from the Soviet Union, Norway, the ‘United’ States, Pakistan and West Germany. . Allen said he disagreed with the conference’ 5 theme but said it was important to "meet. at Lake Couchiching precisely to-examine options to prevent and obstruct the path to such a chilling and highly. undesirable condition- of life’ : While. Allen said he did not want to ignite a polemical discussion over Soviet foreign policy, he echoed some of - Reagan’ s favorite themes. “Does anyone doubt tha! Afghans and Poles alike wish to be left alone to pursue their own paths to development,.their own foreign policies, their own ways of life?" he asked, He suggested that.

Such questioning would be ‘strictly. limited under the’ proposed iaw, but Conservatives and New Democrats’ moved to have it banned altogether, Their amendments ‘were defealed as Chretien said such evidence might be. relevant in some cases. . Opposition MPs maintained that the “defetice of honest belief" (“I thought she was saying yes”) should be allowed only when based on reasonable grounds.
