ANGLO-AMERICAN PROVISION AGAINST TRUCE VIOLATION

Washington, Jan. 17.

Britain and the United States Mave agreed that, if the Chinese Reds agree to a Korean truce and then break it, United Nations forces will im- mediately blast military targets on the Chinese mainland.

This was disclosed by authoritative British and American sources who said, however, that air and naval action in the event of a broken truce would be only against "strategic military targets" in China and would not include "saturation" bombing.

A Much Needed Reform

ONE of

very

the major problems confronting the American, British and Canadian statesmen in their talks in Washington and Ottawa was the

and necessary

long overdue reorganisation of the cumbersome machinery of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It has long been obvious that drastic reform of NATO was a prerequisite to successful conduct of

defence European

plans; the organisation was unwieldy at its concep. tion, and the passage of time has only added to the numerous committees into which the NATO is divided, leading to overlapping functions, and consequent inefficiency, on a multitude of problems ranging from social services to defence. As at present constituted, NATO is composed of five main organs, all of which are sub-divided, into numerous committees. The Atlantic Council is the supreme executive body; it includes Foreign Ministers, Finance Ministers and Defence Ministers but does not alt continuously, Subsidiary to the Council is the Council of Deputies, the working organ of NATO, consisting of represent alves, of 12 nations In permanent session in London. The military organs Chiefs comprise three committees of Star

committees 3 Defence Production Board, in Paris, and the Social Committee, in Paris. This conglomer ation has been added to recently by a new committee the functions of which are to reconcile the needs of defence with the economies of the participating countries, The net result has been considerable confusion and a retarding of the aims of NATO. It is the aim of the Truman-Churchill-St. Laurent plan streamline the organisation and increase its efficiency. Chief point in the proposed scheme is the setting up of a high-level council. Modelled on the lines of the United Nations, with each country providing one representative, this council would be în permanent ses- sion and so be able to take immediate decisions to meet, any crisis that might. arise. It would replace the Atlantic Council and the Council of Deputies. Another reform would be the appoint- ment of a "political Eisenhower, to co- ordinate and direct the activities of the economic and financial organs. An essential feature of the new structure. would be the concentration of the entire NATO in one city. The plan is to be presented to

to the North Atlantic Council's meeting next month in Lisbon. It is to be hoped that the bickerings that have marked so much of the pro- ceeding connect with \defense give way on this: *immediate action, on
