Walker In Ottawa
By  ALAN  DONNELLY
ATTAWA, (CP) - British MP
David Walker, a vigorous op-
poncnt of United Kingdom entry
into the,Common Market, is in
Ottawa seeking to drum up support for a Commonwealth solution for his country's trade problems.
He said Wednesday hc has
found support for his idea in
private talks with prominent Canadians,, and plans to carry his
personal campaign to other
parts of the Commonwealth.
The supposed advantages ofl
Britain aligning herself with
the European Common Market
are a "myth," Mr. Walker said
' i an Interview.
On the other hand, there was
"a collosal potential" for increased British exports to Canada and other 'Commonwealth
countries.
PROTESTED V0TE
Mr. Walker, former national
President of. Britain's Young
Conservatives, was one of 20
MPs of his party who abstained
in protest on a recen vote in
the U.K. Parliament on their
government's decision to open
negotiations with the Common
Market.
Mr. Walker said he plans to
follow up his present Canadian
visit with a similar trip later
this fall to Australia, New Zealand, India. Ghana and Nigeria,
and to step up publicity in Britain against Common Market
hembcrship.

Pearson Suggests UN
Presence For Berlin
By DAVE McINTOSH
OTTAWA (CP)'- Opposition
leader Pearson suggested Wednesday the Berlin situation requires a United Nations "pres-
*ce" there.
He said at a press conference
he has maintained for years the
UN should take some responsibility for onsurlng the freedom
of West cBrlin.   He added:
"I still think that that Is the
case and'Dig UN may very soon
be able to play a constructive
part in-removing any legitimate
fears behind the Iron Curtain
about the West Berlin t base,' as
they call It, at thc same time
ensuring that the people of West
Berlin retain their freedom."  .
The  Liberal  leader  said   hc
would not be prepared to advise that the UN move into Berlin next week. But the matter
would be in the minds of many
people with,the opening of the
UN General Assembly in New
RK Sept.  19.'    .
Mr. Pearson won thc 1057
Nobel Peace Prize for thc.UN
operation in Suez. He was then
external affairs minister.

"The danger of a accident
in Berlin is what frigh ens mc,"
Mr. Pearson said.   .

Parliament Resumes
Marathon Session
By DON HANRIGHT
OTTAWA (CP) - Parliament
resumes its marathon session
today with a foreign affairs
debate heading a Commons
agenda that appears long
enough to keep both houses
sitting until mid-November.
The'timely two-day foreign affairs debate will be backgrounded by a pile-up of international crises since the session
adjourned July 13 — resumption
of nuclear tests, Berlin and Bi-j
zerte.
Opposition     leader    Pearson |
as briefed on the international
picture Wednesday in a half-
hour private talk with Prime
Minister Diefenbaker. Later, reporters asked whether the. par-1
ties will adopt a bipartisan I
stand on foreign policy I
"In a critical situation like
the one today we wan  to keep!
as much unity as possible within
the country," replied the Liberal leader. Mr. Diefenbaker
commented: -"I don't know that
there has been any change in
that regard."
CCF IS MYSTERY
Bound to be reflected in the
debate is the New Democratic
Party founding convention's rejection in early Augus of CCF
leader Hazen Argue's stand for
Canadian withdrawal from
NATO. The tack- to be taken
now by Mr. Argue and other
CCF member remains to be seen.
Expected to follow the international debate are dscussions
on the 1966-62 spending estimates of the external affairs
and defence departments, the
latter soon to be swelled beyond
the existing $1,600 000,000 by the
defence buildup over Berlin.

As President, Goularl's main

to picking the prime minister

It still was not definite when

best, bet was today, Brazil's independence day.
With Goulart safely in Brasilia, the country once again

At Rio de Janeiro, Air Minister Gabriel Grum Moss resigned. He and the ministers of
the army and the navy had op-
posed Goulart's succeeding

Congress changed the constitution making the president a
figurehead and vesting virtually
all executive power in the prime
