SCANADIAN POLICY IN

FAR EAST

Windsor, Ontario, Nov. 15.

The Canadian Minister for Exterial Affairs, Mr Lester B. Pearson, said Eere he hoped that Canada would not be asked to support any expansion of United Nations military opera- tions in Korea unless and until it was clear that Chinese Communist force had been sent to Korea on more than a pro tective and border mission.

Mr Pearson outlined the Canadian Government's Far -Enst policy in a speech here last

night.

Canada felt the Korean fighting should be confined and localised, he said. If that was not possible the policy "should. avoid giving anyone else an excuse for extending it.”

Mr Pearson said that the problems behind the troubles in Asia should not be forgotten. There could not be continuing tranquillity in Asia until a start had been made on improving the well-being of its people.
