Matthews/RB SECRET ,- / JL/ May 22, 19$7^ 6°j*l$77AM- MEMORANDUM POR MR. REECE Reference your Draft Paragraphs for Memorandum to Cabinet on the "Fourth Power" Problem Introduction of Nuclear Weapons in Shield Forces in NATO I do not think we should lose sight of General Foulkes' original idea that the provision of nuclear weapons to members of NATO as aid could be used to discourage the production of such weapons by the European members of NATO. While, following our examination, it does not seem to be practical to suggest that members of NATO should agree not to undertake a weapons program, I don't think there would be a similar objection to placing financial impediments in their way to adopting such a program. However, paragraph 17 as drafted by you would actually be an encouragement to those nations to adopt a weapons program since it suggests that Canada should agree to provide as mutual aid, uranium required by any NATO power for a weapons program. I would suggest that Canada consider only pro~ viding uranium required for the manufacture of weapons, which weapons themselves, were to be transferred to a third NATO country under a military aid program of the manufacturing country. >If such a policy were adopted, Canadian aid would be an incentive to any recipient country not to manufacture while as at present drafted, the incentive would be in the opposite direction. yu^Zri^' W.
