...event, the American note linked the whole of Diefenbaker's anti-American campaign with the present, impractical concept of North American defense upon which Diefenbaker insists. To return to power, he must manage to appeal both to those who distrust excessive American influence and to those who do not wish to see atomic weapons in Canada. The Nation has editorialized support for Canada's continued reliance upon conventional weapons, but Diefenbaker's test compromise suggestion--that the warheads be stored on the American side of the border and rushed into Canada when needed--is hardly that.

In one of the rare medieval verses that combines reason and beauty, a bishop expressed the general...
Infinite Testiness. For the past five years, the Indian army has also been plagued by Defense Minister Krishna Menon, who was both economy-minded and socialistically determined to supply the troops from state-run arsenals, most of which exist only as blueprints. Sharing Nehru's distrust of what he calls the "arms racket," Menon was reluctant to buy weapons abroad, and refused to let private Indian firms bid on defense contracts. Menon's boasts of Indian creativity in arms development have been revealed as shoddy deceptions. A prototype of an Indian jet fighter plane proved unable to break...
