ters decided on an immediate
study of how to achieve this.

Their official communique
wrapped it up in the usual form
of words by saying that the study
should consider:

*Ways in which consultations
might be improved and participa-
tion by interested allied countries
extended in the planning of nu-
clear forces, including strategic
forces.”

“Strategic forces” means long-
range missiles, planes, guided
missile warships and sub-
marines. It was made clear that
the new proposals would be in
addition to the plans already in
the pipeline; the American one
for a Multilateral Nuclear Force
(MLF), and the British one for
an Atlantic Nuclear Force (ANF).

Bonn generals were not fully
satisfied with either, as West
German ministers made clear in
speeches on the eve of the two
day Nato meeting.

“Robert McNamara, U.S. De-
fence Secretary, proposed to the
15 ministers in Paris last week
that he and four or five others
should be immediately appointed
to study how to give the non-
nuclear Nato countries a bigger
“share” in nuclear policy.

The others will be Denis Healey
(Britain), Herr von Hassel (West
Germany), and one representa-
tive of the smaller Nato nations.
France is expected to boycott
the group because the de Gaulle
government is opposed to any
Nato nuclear force. French
sources found “nothing new” in
McNamara’s proposal, -

KEY TO CANADA’S CRISIS:

‘Recognize reality of our
two national communities’

“The right of peoples to manage
their own affairs and to determine
their own destiny — without ‘help’
from U.S, Skyraiders or U.S,
Marines — is one of the two
main issues of our time,” said
Stanley Ryerson in a lecture
Wednesday, June 2, in Vancouver,

«The other main issue is com-
munity ownership and control of
the economy, in place of big
business ownership and control,”
said Ryerson, who is in Van-
couver to attend the Conference
of Learned Societies at the Uni-
versity of B.C.

«The response of large num-
pers of people — particularly
young people — to crisis situ-
ations such as those in Selma,
Alabama, and in Vietnam, shows
that awareness of social and
world realities is growing, It
is leading to action in support
of democratic values and human
survival,” Ryerson said.

Ryerson added that “the vigor
of our response to the threat of
rampant reaction and thermo-
nuclear extinction will be the
yardstick of that renovation of
democracy on which our entire
future depends,”

A leading authority on Can-
adian history and author of a
number of books on the subject,
Ryerson said that “the socialist

- countries, who are pioneering in

community ownership and control
of the economy, are portrayed as
a ‘menace to freedom,’ Thereal
menace, however, is located in
the headquarters of the big busi-
ness military — industrial com-
plex — the Pentagon and its annex
the White House.”

Turning to the challenges faced
by Canadians at home, Ryerson
said: “The right of a people to
manage its own affairs and de-
termine its own destiny is also
the central issue in what has been
called the ‘Canadian crisis,’”

“Recognition of the historic
reality of TWO national com-
munities in Canada — the French

- Canadian and English speaking

Canadian is essential if weare to
remain a united country, The

biggest obstacle to recognition of.

this in English Canada is our
(largely unconscious) delusion of
Anglo-Saxon superiority.

“The logic of the real situ-
ation in the country requires
the scrapping of the B,N.A. Act,
the adoption of a new, bi-national
Constitution embodying the full
equality of rights of our two
national communities,

“Canadian Marxists, who first

urged this solution in 1943, anti-
cipate that its achievement will
entail not only a major con-
stitutional change but a shift in
the relationship of social forces,
the curbing of big business mon-
opoly that has profited from two
centuries of exploitation of Que-
bec, an expansion of economic,
social and political democracy,”

Ryerson’s lecture, which was
sponsored by the People’s Co-
operative Bookstore, was fol-
lowed by a lengthy and interesting

, question period,

Ryerson’s latest book, “The
Open Society — Paradox and
Challenge,” is now available in
the Co-op Bookstore and sells
for $1,15. His previous writings

included, “Le Reveil du Canada,” .

a sketch of conditions in Quebec
in the 1930s; “1837: The Birth
of Canadian Democracy,” a study

of the rebellions in Upper and’

Lower Canada; “French Canada:

A Study in Canadian Democracy,”

(1943); “The Founding of Canada: -
Beginning to 1815” (1960),
