SECURITY CLASSIFICATION C ONFIDENTIAL THE CANADIAN DELEGATION TO THE NORTH ATLANTIC COUNCIL AND THE OEEC, PARIS THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, CANADA Re. erence ■Sui ject: 27 JUL 1953 (U, Copies Referred To...................... Council. Meeting of . July. 22. . . Other Business The Standing Group Liaison Officer informed the Council that a draft press release concerning the forthcoming exercise ’’Operation Mariner” had been sent to Defence Ministers for approval. He read the text of the draft, and added a brief account of the plans for the exercise. The U.K. Representative read a statement of the latest United Kingdom assessment of the Beria purge. There was little that was new except the statement that in the United Kingdom’s view there was little reason to attribute the recent ’’soft” policy to Beria. Not only had it continued after his removal but the United Kingdom was disposed to think that he was probably a reactionary rather than a softening influence on policy, prior to his arrest. Lord Ismay said that in his view Beria's replacement, Kruglov, was a man of little personality or intelligence. As the press has reported, Ismay had met Kruglov on the occasion when he presented a ’ decoration to him , and his description before the Council was ” nothing more than a good policeman, i.e. a good constable, not a sergeant”. 2.
