The fact that the danger exists at all, in such an acute form, is directly attributed to the U.S. state department. RESENTMENT STRONG There still is strong resentment in official quarters over the s'.ate department release just one week ago Wednesday night criticiing the Canadian position on nuclear defence and directly contradicting statements of Prime Minister Diefenbaker. The declaration was branded by- Mr. Diefenbaker as an unwarranted intrusion into Canadian affairs, and on that point the other party leaders in an otherwise - divided House of Commons were as one with him. If anything, it appears the public apology made by Secretary of State Rusk last Friday only made matters worse. Sec- DEAN RUSK etary Rusk told a press conference that he regret cd the tone of the original statement but stuck by its contents. The expression of regret for, ie tone of the statement was being conveyed to the Canadian government, according to Mr. Rusk. Nuclear Question, Campaign Issue By ALAN DONNELLY OTTAWA (CP)—Parliament's "House of minorities" was dissolved Wednesday for an election on Monday, April 8. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, with party ranks closed behind his leader, ship, rode through a snowstorm to obtain Governor-General Vanier's approval for dissolution of the 25th Parliament elected only last June 18. It will be the fourth election in six years and, like the 1958 campaign, will be fought in v/inter. Mr. Diefenbaker came up smiling Wednesday after Tuesday night's two non-confidence votes in the Commons in which the three opposition parties united to topple his minority Progressive Conservative government. He attended a shouting, cheering two-hour caucus meeting of party members, held following persistent reports that a group within thc cabinet had challenged his leadership. He said afterwards ie had been given "the mos overwhelming support that 1 have ever received in all my years of politics." Liberal Leader Pearson said hc was happy thc dale Ind been fixed. "We hope that thc result will be clear cul and that thc Liberal party will win tlie support of thc Canadian people." SETS CAMPAIGN MOVING Mr. Pearson's campaign kick- off will be Monday night in a speech to the Liberal party's national council meeting here. There was no indication when he or Mr. Diefenbaker will pen their campaign travels. Social Credit Leader Robert Thompson told a repo ter he expects his cross-country campaigning lo begin in four weeks. New. Democratic Leader T. C. Douglas travels next week to i THE COUNTRY PARSON" his Burnaby-Coquitlam constituency in British Columbia. Chief Electoral Officer Nelson Castonguay quickly put the election machinery in motion. A week - long enumeration of somc 10,000,000 voters starts Feb. 18. Observers expect a hotly-contested campaign, with the parlies fighting strongly to win majority control in the next Parliament. Last .lime's election ended the record majority won in 1!>5B by thc Diefenbaker government and left the prime minister with a'tenuous minority position which depended for support, in most vote tests, on either the Social Credit or New Democratic groups. MOMENTUM BUILDS The beginning of the end came last week with the Commons dispute over nuclear policy. The momentum of events built up—the U.S, slate department's press release a week ago criticizing government policy: Monday's resignation 'of Defence Minister Harkness over an "irreconcileable" policy difference with Mr. Diefenbaker. The nuclear question will be one of the campaign's main issues, with the government asserting its "made-in-Canada" policies and thc Liberals accusing thc government of indecision and confusion. NDP Leader Douglas has indicated he'll campaign strongly for a non-nuclear role for Canadian defence. The pre - election tension heightened Tuesday with reports a group of cabinet ministers had met lo ask Air. Diefenbaker to yield the party leadership to someone else. One informed source said that at' Wednesday's Conservative caucus meeting the prime minister asked for, and got, individual pledges of loyalty from each cabinet minister. Repeated cheering was heard by reporters outside thc closed- doors meeting. Cabinet ministers emerged with declarations that the party and cabinet are |OTTAWA.

Castonguay Was Ready OTTAWA (CP)-As always, Nelson Castonguay was ready. The chief electoral officer had kept the election machinery in motion for months before Tuesday's announcement of the April 8 date by Prime Minister Diefenbaker, As long ago as last fall. he had shipped 150 tons of supplies for the enumeration that now will begin on Monday, February 18. i By JOHN M. 1IK.HTOWER ; WASHINGTON (AP) - Offi- ! cial Washington adopted a policy of discreet silence Tuesday on thc fall of John Diefenbaker as prime minister of Canada. There were no cries of approval bul. neither were there any loud laments. The fact is that relations between Canada and Ihe United Slates have been tense much of tile time since Diefenbaker became prime minister. U.S. leaders obviously werc not upset by his political misfortune. What does seem to have distressed President Kennedy and State Secretary Rusk is that the United States played such a role in bringing about he collapse of Diefenbaker's Conservative regime on a non-confidence vote in Parliament Tuesday night. Administration autl orities here insist the U.S. acton was nol designed as a political bombshell—at least tha much of a bombshell. Kennedy and Rusk, according to administration reports, wcre not directly involved in the issuance a week ago of the state department statement which LAHORE, West Pakiscan (AP)—Two buses collided on a main highway about 55 miles from Lahore Wednesday, killing five persons and injuring 37 others. Lord Home Rejects Idea Of Third Force LONDON (Reuters) — Foreign Secretary Lord Home said Wednesday night the idea of a European third force balancing itself between the Americans and the Russians has .'no appeal whatever" for the British j government. He told the House of Lords] he fully agreed with Lord Henderson, a Labor peer, who describee President Charles de Gaulle's third-force policy as "n' gigantic error." Home was speaking in a foreign policy debate, centring'on thc French veto of Britain's bid for entry . into tlie European i Common Market and the British! decision to accept the U.S. J Polaris missile. "We cannot accept that Europe by itself can meet the Communist challenge," Home said. "If this thesis was ever seri% ously advanced we would have to reject.it." NEED AMERICANS "We (to not believe the defence of Europe could be organized without the presence of the United Slates—their' presence on the ground, in thc management of the forces and in the execution of policy. ' "Of course it is perfectly proper to argue and discuss thc balance of- strength and effort within lhe framework of the NATO alliance between Europe and America and as Europe has gained in confidence and strength it can take something off the'shoulders of the United States." Defending the need for a British nuclear deterrent, Home said: "If we were to discard our independent nuclear deterrent ■ now, could we not be in v. position in a few years* time where France, or even France and Germany, wcre the only nuclear powers in Europe?' He added: ."It would not only bc a bold but a very rash man who took Britain out of the 'nuclear ' ' Russia Warns Japan LONDON (Reuters) - Russia warned Japan Wednesday, against stationing foreign troops on its soil or permitting a foreign, atomic fleet to enter its ports. It said American submarines entering Japanese ports would I obviously "pave the way into I Japan for' American nuclear weapons." At the same time, Pans officials said Russia has (warned it would consider the I nuclear armament of West Ger- Imany an "immediate threat" which would oblige Russia to jtake counter measures. The note to Japan suid the "security interests of Japan's neighbors and the interests of peace in the_ Far East" were affected by any steps- involving foreign troops on Japanese soil or the docking of nuclear vessels in Japanese ports. precipitated Ihc crisis. Kennedy is said to have becn angry al subordinates for not realizing the political dynamite involved. SITUATION DELICATE In a time of turmoil in a neighboring country Ihe United States normally would keep its mouth shut. The present situation is considered here to be especially delicate. Obviously U.S. leaders would not particularly like to see a restoration of the Diefenbaker defence policies by a new government. But the charges of "intrusion" Diefenbaker has already made against Washington are nothing to the protests that would be made if Canadians thought Kennedy was trying to influence the upcoming April 8 election. There will be heavy strains on U.S.-Canadian relations at best because the defence policy quarrel with Diefenbaker is so deeply involved in the present situation. ... . _y KEN KELLY OTTAWA ICP>- The politicians girded themselves Wednesday night for a life-and- death election struggle. I Leaders and parties all appeared to be under the gun in several important ways. They got into the campaign from a Parliament which generated considerable bitterness. For thc Progressive Conservatives, the April 8 election means more than just asking for a majority to continue the term in office that began in June. 1957. The caucus of Conservative MPs and senators Wednesday showed thcy are prepared to present a united front against rumors nf cabinet dissension and the effects of thc resignation of former Defence Minister Harkness. Thc Liberals, boring steadily ai toppling Ihe government and forcing a new election since last June, tvant more than just the taste of near-victory. QUEBEC KEY AREA Quebec is a key area for them as it is for the Social Credit party which won 26 seats in Quebec where they held none before. For the Liberals, Quebec means recouping 1962 losses and for Social Credit, it means proving the Quebec rise was more than a flash in the pan. The New Democrats Wll be! aiming to show that winning 19 j seats last June was only a start, on bigger things for a partyl which arose in ils preseit formi less than a year before thel election. I The leaders loo must prove themselves anew. Mr. Diefenbaker will be expected by his party to show that he can revive the election magic that led to the Conservatives' 1958 victory and a record j majority of scats in Parliament. ' Liberal Leader Pearson leads his party into combat for the third time and his future may depend on success. Social Credit Leader Thompson is making his second bid as a national leader with the knowledge that his deputy leader, Real Caouette. led 26 Quebec Social Credit MPs to' Parliament out of the 3n elected by the party. Wolf Of Riff Dies At 81 CAIRO (Reuters) — Mohammed AM el Krirn, the "Wolf of the "Riff" who became a living legend in his desert war against the French and Spanish in North Africa, died in exile in Egypt Wednesday at the age' of 81.
