The Privy Council president said in Toronto that the '"'bloody war' is not justified on "either moral or strategic grounds" and may lead to the use of nuclear weapons: If people think he is exagger- ating, Mr. Gordon said, they should demand from President Johnson a categorical undertak- HM Mitsui eiietcttecencneatc tn t ing that the U.S. "will not use nuclear bombs or germs or life- destroying chemicals under any circumstances." Mr. Gordon said he was speak- ing only as "an ordinary citi- zen,"' but members of the oppo- sition in Parliament have long claimed that no minister can divorce himself in this way from membership in the govern- ment. Prime Minister Pearson is al- most certain to face hard ques- tioning in the Commons today about Mr. Gordon's speech. By the testimony of the prime minister's own speech in the Commons last Wednesday, the remarks are far from policy. But Mr. Pearson's answer may not be enough to discourage speculation that. Mr. Gordon said what the prime minister would like to say if he felt free to do so. In his Wednesday speech, Mr. Pearson said Canada's role must be to employ diplomatic initiatives to bring about nego- tiations and peace in Vietnam.
