Pearson that if war came should nuclear weapons be used against us Canadian troops par ticpating should not be denied the right to use nuclear weap Ins Later he said nuclear weapons should in the event nuclear war was launched be placed in the possession of Ca nadians NEEDS JOINT CONTROL The prime minister reiterated that acquisition ofnuclear weapv one in peacetime would depend on joint control by Canada and the US over such weapons stored on Canadian territory He said the US has not ac cepted the Canadian meaning of joint control and that so long as the law of the Us is as it is at present joint con trol is impossible We have stated that until the 75 makes joint control avail able we do not intend to go fur ther than we have unless war breaks out at which time we impasse hope to

Canadas Bomarc missiles in time of peace Diefenbaker said in the House of Commons Monday that the Canadian government hopes to have nuclear weapons for Cana dian troops if nuclear war breaks out He
