The Canadian government's view is that NATO unity must be preserved at all costs. It would be opposed to a US.- controlled multilateral seaborne force, which is denounced by France, just as much as it lwould tend to split Europe and its North American allies, Martin said he would urge the NATO ministerial meeting to explore ways of bringing Euro- pean allies into closer nuclear participation through other channels. He would not disclose details, but it is understood he would like to see this explora- tion done through existing NATO machinery in a 'way which France would not oppose. Martin, accompanied by De- fence Minister Hellyer and a large group of Canadian offi- cials, is reported to feel there can be no real progress on the nuclear issue at this conference without the threat of a blow-up among the allies.

The loan did not save his double-mortgaged $200,000 busi- ness and by the time he lost it a few terror-filled years later, he had paid $18,000 in interest and still owed $35,000 in delin- quency penalties and principal.
