'Pace
m
"Pacem in terris" meaning "peace on
earth" the encyclical issued last week by Pope
John XXIII, is a remarkable and historic docu
ment. So remarkable is it that it may have a real
and far-reaching effect on the history of this
troubled century. It could change the tenor and
many of the teachings of the entire Roman Cath
olic church. More, it will have an immense effect
outside the church, not only in the circles of
world statesmen, but, hopefully, in the hearts
of many humble men and women of all faiths
or none.
It is probably the most humanistic and con
ciliatory document ever to be proposed by the
supreme pontiff of the church. For the first time
in the history of the church the encyclical is ad
dressed to non-Catholics to "all men of good
will" as well as to Catholics.
A MONG the more remarkable points made in
'"Vhis remarkable document is the one in which
Pope John said, "Every
right to honor God according to the dictates of
an upright conscience.
This is a reversal of Roman Catholic teach
ing, and should have great impact in Italy, Spain,
and certain Latin American lands, where tolera
tion of non-Catholics has been minimal or non
existent. Similarly, for the first time the Pope called
for a strengthening of the United Nations, by
name, and said it is to be hoped that it may be
come "ever more equal to the magnitude and no
bility of its tasks, and that the day may come
when everv human being will find therein an
effective safeguard for the rights which derive
directly from his dignity as a person."
'
INDEED, "human dignity" is referred to in sev
nml n1ar0fi in trio 99 flfln.urnvri fnpvrlirn1
where he calls tor an end to racial discrimination,
religious persecutions, and for the rights of wom
en as human beings both in domestic and public
life.
Much of the document is devoted to the prob
lems of keeping the peace, and includes a call for
the end to the armaments race, the destruction
of the atomic stockpiles, and the disarmament
of the world's machines of war.
And he called for peace on all levels be
tween man and man, community and commun
ity, nation and nation. He said:
"Seized by anxiety for the good of all, wc feel it
our duty to beseech men, especially those who have
the responsibility of public affairs, to spare no labor
in order to insure that world events follow a reason
able and human course."
IT WAS fitting indeed that this document should
be made public during holy week, and that
its discussion should begin during the Easter
season, when rebirth
minds and hearts of men.
As the encyclical is
good wills surely all men
spond to the message.
for it is truly a message of hone, not only
for avoidance of war, but almost equally import
ant, for a new era for the human condition for
social justice, for economic prosperity, for hon
orable dealing and tolerance among men and
nations.

we can be truly grateful that the spiritual leader
of so many millions of our fellow human beings
has the heart and the vision and the courage to
share his dream of a new world with "all men of
good will."
This encyclical, coupled with the vast strides
toward mutual understanding and mutual respect
which Pope John has encouraged, both through
his own warmth and personality and through the
precedent-shattering Vatican Ecumenical Council
which will reconvene next fall, convinces us more
than ever that Pope John

can now afford to cast aside old prejudices and

to show the way toward a future where all men

With real courage, although
pretty late in the day, Prime

lead Britain into Europe. If
the effort to enter the Com

blocked, this country would
soon have acquired a new
sense of purpose and di
rection. The fault is not the want
of able leaders, either. The
younger generation of Con

of impressive ability, as was
most recently demonstrated
by the exceptionally astute

Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Reginald Maudling. As for the

the answers is an almost total
lack of a present sense of
purpose and direction. There
is no clear conception of the
nature of Britain's world-role
now. There are not even any
very clear ideas about what
Britain's world-role ought to
be.
On the extreme right, of
course, there are a few who
want Britain to gj back into
the empire-business, just as
there are the neutralists and
the "let's do business with
Moscow" types on the extreme
left. But these minorities can
be ignored as completely un

both fail unless the European
resurgence is squarely faced
together with all its impiica
tions. In this respect, the
Anglo-Saxon powers, as Gen
de Gaulle is fond of calling
us, ought to be moving for
ward together.
Such an approach will not
be easy. It demands, above
all, very difficult decisions
about nuclear policy which
the British are particularly
reluctant to take, if one may
judge by their schizophrenic
handling of the NATO mul
tilateral force idea.
But if the Americans and
British take this kind of ap

As this is written, the Ca
nadian election is still up in
the air. The Liberals (Pear
son's party) won a majority
of the popular vote and a
plurality of the seats (mean
ing more seats than any other
party) in the Canadian par
liament, but they failed to
win a MAJORITY of the 265
seats.

They are unable to "form
a government - that is to
say, a government composed
entirely of members of the
Liberal party. To form a gov
ernment, the Liberals would
have to have a majority of
the 265 scats in the Canadian
parliament, which would be
133. They have only 127 seats,
with complete returns missing
from only one district.
So a total of 128 scats is
all they can hope for. That
is five short of the 133 seats
required for a majority.

Yet such has been the state
of Franco - American rela
tions that we have to treat as
big news the fact that the
U.S. secretary of state, who
is in Paris on the official busi
ness of the SEATO meeting,
had a long talk with the
French foreign minister and
has actually been received by
the president of the French
republic. What should be nor
mal and routine among allies
has come to look like a mys
terious event of which the
full significance has still to
be deciphered.
TT IS NOT difficult to think
of reasons why General de
Gaulle may have decided
that he has carried too far
his antagonism to the "Anglo
Saxons" and the Atlantic
community. There is, for one
thing, mounting evidence that
his continental allies, the Ger
mans, the Italians, the Bel
gians and the Dutch, have not
much appetite for a "Europe"
governed from Paris by Gen
eral de Gaulle. There is in
creasing reason to believe that
the Europeans do not like the
French nuclear force any bet
ter than we do. For they will
not have any more to do with
it than we will have. They
are asking themselves wheth
er there is not some surer
and better way to achieve a
self - respecting voice in nu
clear affairs than to build up
at enormous cost small, re
dundant and almost certainty
inefficient nuclear forces of
their own.
My own view is that the
approach of the administra
tion to the European nuclear
problem has been overanxious
and is indeed misconceived.
It is overanxious in the sense
that we have made it look as
if we wanted urgently to sell
to Europe the scheme for multi-national
and multi-lateral
nuclear forces. It was over
anxious to send an eminent
of tlie people in a new gen
eral election.
THE Canadians have
cab-
inet, as do we.
But there is this difference:
In Canada, every member
of the cabinet must be a min
ister, and every minister must
be a member of the parlia
ment. In the United States,
the President names his cab
inet members OUTSIDE the
congress. That is to say, the
members of our President's
cabinet are NOT members of
congress. Nor does the con
gress have anything to say or
to do with the naming of
them.
Our systems are quite dif
ferent. The fact that they
have operated more or less
similarly is due simply to the
fact that Canadians and
Americans are more or less
the same kind of people,
with more or less Ihe same
ideas as to the kind of gov
ernment they want.

Insofar as European gov-
this and tnai, crnments really believe that
there is no j they cannot rely on the Unit
sense whalev- j ed states, or that they must
es open to us. The first one,
which we have chosen, is to
propose schemes whit li will
have the appearance, but not
the reality, of independent nu
clear forces. Perhaps one or
both of the schemes can be
sold to European govern
ments. But I cannot believe
that the real problem of Eu
ropean - American relations
is going to be solved by re
pairing the facade without re
modeling the house.
THE other course, which
seems to me to be based
on a much better conception,
would be to stand firmly on
our basic proposition that,
within the Western alliance,
the command of the use of
nuclear weapons is indivisi
ble. What can and should bo
shared among allies is the
formation of high nuclear pol
icy, the determination of nu
clear strategy, the definition
of nuclear targets, the re
search and development for
the nuclear armory, the en
gineering and actual produc
tion of nuclear components.
In my view, we are now
offering the Europeans gim
micks in order to appease
them. There seems, for ex
ample, to be a notion floating
about that the Germans will
insist on nuclear weapons for
themselves unless we let
them have the right to smell
them as members of the crew
of a ship which carries nu
clear weapons. Instead, we
should offer the British, the
French, the Germans and the
Italians partnership.
The partnership in the
management of the unavoid
able nuclear monopoly would
have to begin modestly and
grow gradually more com
plete. I am convinced that
