EXPECTED: SOON ’ The stocktaking of the peace initiative will be reported in a speech to Parliament, ‘expected soon: and probably within two weeks, one Canadian official said. A Trudeau trip to Moscow remains the only obvious and expanding element of the initial phases of the initiative to be com- pleted. However, no date has been set by Moscow because of President Yuri Andropoy’s ill health. : The focus of the initiative seems to be shifting to a quieter, more low-key effort from a personal crusade playing on Trudeau's international stature and access to other leaders. Trudeau said he is optimistic about further contacts and dialogues between ‘NATO and Warsaw Pact countries, He said Romania’s foreign minister will visit Canada next week, followed by the East German foreign minister later in the spring. He also said MacEKachen has an “invitation to vislt Czeckoslovakia. Such a steady stream of visits coupled with a lateral working group of disar- mament experts — such as the one established by Trudeau and Rast German leader Erich Honecker this week — seem to be the next focus for the initiative. Trudeau said he is generally satisfied with his eastern European tour. ‘ As for his meeting with Ceausescu, something. of a maverick among Warsaw Pact leaders, Trudeau said the two shared . feneral objectives of peace and disar- mament, but. differed on specifics.
