NATO Exercises - Protest by the
Swedish Government

(

J

You will recall that in a Note, dated
November 23, the Swedish Minister protested
against violations of Swedish territory by aircraft belonging to air forces of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, which were engaged in exercise "Mariner" in the last days of September 1953.

. The RCAF reports that an examination
of flying operations during the dates and times
of the alleged violations reveal that RCAF aircraft were not involved.
2.

3.

The Delegation to the North Atlantic
Council consulted with the delegations from other
countries, whose air forces took part in the exercise. The Delegation found that there was little,
if any, disposition on the part of the governments
concerned to handle the matter as a NATO problem.
In general, it appeared that the replies by the
other governments concerned were likely to take
the form of brief factual statements confirming
or denying that their aircraft were involved.

I attach for your initials, if you
approve, a Note to the Minister of Sweden informing him that no Canadian aircraft were involved.
