"THREE WISE MEN” TO CONTROL NATO DEFENCE BURDENS
Ottawa, Sept. 19.
The North Atlantic Council will today appoint a small "three wise men" committee of Ministers to close the gap between the urgent needs and resources of the alliance, the Canadian Minister for External Affairs, Mr Lester Pearson, announced here today.
It would probably be composed of French, British and American Ministers and sit continually for the next 60 days, he told a Fress confer-
ence.
One of its functions would be to negotiate' on]. behalf of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation as a whole with individual governments with whom
the burden of defence should be shared.

Mr Pearson also expected an agreement to be announced later today on how the North At- Inntic Powers would share the cost of building airfields and other military properties In Western Europe.
Other points be made were: The question of the admission of Green and Turkey should be settled today. He felt that they would be admitted.
