The Chairman, on behalf of the Canadian group, welcomed the o f f i c i a l s of the United S t a t e s Government from Washington and the United S t a t e s Embassy in Ottawa, and said t h a t the Canadian r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s were pleased to have t h i s opportunity to discuss sources of s t r a t e g i c material in Canada, of i n t e r e s t to the United S t a t e s , and the measures in e f f e c t to p r o t e c t them* He thought t h a t the best method of dealing with t h i s subject would be for the Canadian r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s to reply to any e n q u i r i e s which the United S t a t e s delegation might have, 2. Mr. Brodie said t h a t his government was of the opinion t h a t the p o s s i b i l i t y of concerted sabotage had g r e a t l y increased since the l a s t war and t h a t Allied sources of s t r a t e g i c material probably would be primary t a r g e t s for enemy saboteurs In the event of any new h o s t i l i t i e s . The -2 000054 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a I'information -2- "national s e c u r i t y of the United States required therefore t h a t a l l possible measures be taken to f o r e s t a l l any such e f f o r t s so as to safeguard the flow of s t r a t e g i c material s to the United S t a t es and i t s A l l i e s in time of c r i s i s or war. Agencies of the United States Government responsible for defence programmes have compiled a l i s t of c r i t i c a l materials coming from foreign sources and have requested the Department of State to obtain information on p r o t e c t i v e measures now in e f f e c t or"contemplated at the f a c i l i t i e s producing these m a t e r i a l s . Where such protectiv e measures were considered inadequate, the Department had been requested to seek the cooperation of the foreign supplier to i n s t i tute corrective measures. As a r e s u l t of the Department of S t a t e ' s a c t i v i t i e s some foreign governments, with l i t t l e experience in these matters, had requested the a s s i s t a n c e of the United States Government to survey the i n s t a l l a t i o n s in question and to recommend measures for t h e i r p r o t e c t i o n , . Other governments preferred informative discussions and exchange of information on the s u b j e c t . In the case of Canada, the United S t a t e s Government was p a r t i c u l a r l y i n t e r e s t e d in protectiv e measures a t f a c i l i t i e s supplying or r e f i n i n g nickel and platinum. 3. Mr. Craig pointed out that the United S t a t e s Government wished to know in a general way if the Canadian a u t h o r i t i e s had assessed the v u l n e r a b i l i t y to sabotage of the v i t a l n i c k e l and platinum i n d u s t r i e s and i f they were taking steps to protec t them a t the present time or i n the event of h o s t i l i t i e s . There was no i n t e n t i o n to seek d e t a i l e d information on the matter, although any p a r t i c u l a r s which might be volunteered would be "appreciated. In h i s opinion, the Canadian and American p o l i c i e s on anti-sabotage measures and t h e i r methods of p r o t e c t i o n were comparable, if not i d e n t i c a l . He was confident that the guarding arrangements which were planned or in e f f e c t a t the i n s t a l l a t i o n s i n question were in line with those the United States, would t a k e, 4. Inspector Dick said that the I n t e r n a t i o n a l Nickel Company was the main Canadian producer of both n i c k e l and platinum. The Company's p r i n c i p a l mines in Canada were the Frood, Creighton, Garson and Levack Mines, a l l of which were in the Sudbury Basin. The Company had n i c k e l smelters at Copper Cliff and Coniston, and a n i c k e l r e f i n e r y a t Port Colbourne. I t s production of platinum was s o l e l y in the form of c o n c e n t r a t e s, approximately one-third of which was being exported to the United S t a t e s . I t s production of nickel represented some 90$ of the world supply. Within tho l a s t two y e a r s , the R.C.M. Police had completed a survey of the mines in the Sudbury area, the smelters a t Copper Cliff and Coniston, the r e f i n e r y a t Port Colbourne, as also the e s s e n t i a l f a c i l i t i e s — i . e . , hydro generating s t a t i o n s , water s u p p l i e s , e t c . , serving these i n s t a l l a t i o n s . The v u l n e r a b i l i t y to i n t e r n a l and e x t e r n a l sabotage was assessed and recommendations r e g a r d i n g adequate p r o t e c t i o n submitted to the management of the I n t e r n a t i o n a l Nickel Company, Protective measures then in effeot were considered adequate under e x i s t i n g conditions and measures recommended for'wartime were favourably received by the Company o f f i c i a l s . The Company was f u l l y aware of the requirement for p r o t e c t i ve measures against sabotage, and, with the assistance of the R.C.M. P o l i c e , was planning emergency steps to be taken with r e s p e c t to any subversive elements which might be employed on the outbreak of hostilities. -3 000055 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a I'information -3- ffc '' 5, The Chairman asked if the United S t a t e s r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s would care to discuss in a general way the p r o t e c t i ve measures which were considered d e s i r a b le a t v i t a l United S t a t e s i n s t a l l a t i o n s . 6. Mr. Crai^ said that many companies had found i t highly desirable to appoint a qualified expert to take charge of a l l protective arrangements a t a p a r t i c u l a r i n s t a l l a t i o n . Experience had also proven that i t was of considerable a s s i s t a n c e to form an advisory council at oach p l a n t , with a membership including plant supervisory personnel, r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s of the local c i v i l p o l i c e , l o c a l FBI agents and the s e c u r i t y heads of adjacent i n d u s t r i a l f a c i l i t i e s . I t was important for top management to know as much as possible about t h e i r employees and the p r a c t i c e was to prepare, if f e a s i b l e , a d e t a i l e d dossier on each one of them. Vital f a c i l i t i e s and equipment within the grounds of a plant were, i f p o s s i b l e , located w i t h i n r e s t r i c t e d areas with only authorized personnel permitted access to them. With respect to the physical p r o t e c t i o n of i n s t a l l a t i o n s , the requirements varied . Generally speaking, however, each v i t a l plant was, where necessary, fenced i n and possibly f l o o d - l i g h t e d , was guarded by t r a i n e d , armed personnel and had i n e f f e ct some type of pass system for the i d e n t i f i c a t i o n of employees. 7, Inspector Dick observed t h a t the U.S. methods of p r o t e c t i o n appeared to be' p r a c t i c a l l y i d e n t i c a l with those of Canada. He said t h a t the R.C.M. Police had published and widely c i r c u l a t e d a pamphlet e n t i t l e d "Protection of Industry in Wartime" which subsequently was found to be quite simila r to U.S. Department "of Defence pamphlet "Principles of Plant P r o t e c t i o n " . 8. The Meeting, a f t e r considerable further exchange of views on anti-sabotage p r a c t i c e s and a l l i e d s u b j e c t s , noted t h a t the Canadian a u t h o r i t i e s were of the opinion t h at the protectiv e measures which were being taken by the nickel and platinum i n d u s t r i e s in Canada were adequate under e x i s t i n g c o n d i t i o n s .

He explained that shortly after this meeting the Manial of Civil Defenoe, Whioh contained the necessary instructions for compilation of this data, had been approved and forwarded to ths cities, and in view of this lt had been agreed with the Civil Defenoe Co-ordinator not to proceed, for the time being, with the plan to engage a civilian contractor. The Chairman stated that no report on progress had as yet been made and invited the Civil Defence Co-ordinator to outline the present status of the physioal characteristics study. 3 The Civil Defenoe Co-ordinator informed the meeting that the rehired studies had been completed by three of the oities, namely, Ottawa, Victoria and Halifax, but that full co-operation was not being given by the other cities and the studies wore proceeding very slowly or not at all. 4 The Chairman then pointed out that of the three studies undertaken by the panel, i.e., Complexes and Vital Centres, Effects of the Atom Bomb, and Physioal Characteristics of Major Cities, the first two had been completed for soma time, while the lack of progress on the physical eharaoteristlos study made it impossible for the panel to combine these separate studies in order to produce the conclusions required by JIB, CDC, and othor Government agencies. He requested, therefore, that tha Panel re-affirm or otherwise the necessity of securing the specified data from all the cities listed in the physioal characteristics plan. a 5 After discussion it was agreed that data from all tho oities originally listed was essential to a complete picture of Canadian vulnerability, and that the contents of the physical characteristics study should be largely as originally planned. The Chairman proposed, therefore, that as it appeared very doubtful that satisfactory results oould be obtained through the efforts of the cities concerned, the postponed plan of engaging a civilian contractor should now be proceeded with. . The Panel agreed that this appeared to be the only possible solution. In this connection the Chairman reviewed for tho meeting the following decision of the Chiefs of Staff Committee taken at the 476th Meeting held 28 Nov 60i- 000052 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act DocumenffWivlJJguften v e A i d&\a&i a*r Itecima I'information - 2 .
