...Soviet objectives. I do regard the Russian threat as a worldwide thing. Their objective has never changed; it is the domination of the world by the Communist system. There are only about 35 democracies now out of about 120 countries. Together, by one means or another, we must see that the Soviets don't win their objectives. We have to get an interlocking alliance throughout the world. I would like to see Japan giving more of her tremendous resources to defense-after all, she is in a pretty tricky position.

...might never have had the Second. We couldn't get the whole of Europe, but at least we've got half of Europe free. At least my son does not have to go and fight as his father had to fight. Surely that is the most valuable thing of all, the reason for keeping Europe together . . . I loathe the bureaucratic trivialities of the E.E.C., and tell them so.

Denmark will retain control of defense and foreign affairs but trade, taxation and control of the fishing industry will be turned over to Greenland in stages by 1982.

This far exceeds the $100 million a year that the Greenlanders earn from fishing and mining (mainly zinc), and from such specialty exports as the ice cubes that are chopped from glaciers and sold in Denmark for status use in mixed drinks...
...CANADIAN Prime Minister Pierre Eliot Trudeau seeks his fourth term in office in the first federal campaign in five years, the outcome of the May 22 election is uncertain. However, one thing is apparent: Trudeau faces the challenge of his political career--and he has not had an easy time the last few campaigns. If he can weather this tempest, the accomplishments of his ten years in office will pale by comparison...
