faster ccnununication and cheaper transportation small selfsufficient state might existence as backward cab bngcit nature had placed it in geographic backwater But as France and ltoly and West Germany and now even Britain have discovered in the maelstrom of todays power pol ltlcs and automatedoverproduo tion even major power re quires full intcrnatlonoi cooper ation to keep pace with the huge monolithic giants More than it years ago Mr Pearson was is convinced dis ciple of the doctrine that the na tions sited around the North At lantic Ocean must pool much of their sovereignty to be able to compete with the ui achieved and instantly obeyed decisions of dictatorship We have pooled our sovereignty in military matters with our it al lies in NAN The truly also signposted similar pooling in non military fields such as trade and culture Our North Atlantic Alliance declared bin Pearson speaking on St Georges Day 1950 may provide the foundation for great coo rative economic commonw th You may say that this is unrealistic nonseos missalum haul ouaie no vision less than this will do Mr Pearson still speaks the same way toduyrbu people are now inclined to term that unrealistic nonunsl WORDS NUT DEEDS hfr Pearson did nothing effec tive to have his vision tropic mooted by the Liberal govern ment of which he was mem ber for seven years after he made that statement For this llla owes Canadians an upin on Yet his argument is increas ingly accepted that better fu ture for Canadians for the free world and for mankind lies in side thn larger than national grouping of western economic and political commonwealth Cnly inst month the 115 Con gress heard represénlillfi urge that free world common market developing viable free world political institutions would be the best possible pnswcr to Khrushchcvs challenge of com petitive coexistence Thus there is logic in Mr Pearsons contention that Can concciuabubcmLtoumnumicndasholddot leost explore the conditions upon which Canada might become associated with the Common Market rather than whine becauseour friends do the same The stutesmanlike vision of commonwealth of the free world is not only more attractive to day it is more urgcntiy pos sible solution to our problems in the economic cultural and so cial fields just as it has proved itsclf to be in the military field This principle is emphasized by the name of the
