THE CANADIAN DELEGATION TO THE NORTH ATLANTIC COUNCIL AND THE OEEC,
PARIS.
THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, CANADA

Reference

Your Telegram No. 423 of June 22, 1954.

Subject:

Council Meeting on June 30th, 1954.

Item II - Attendance of Ministers
of Defence at 1954 Exercises,

9

10

, 6 JUL 1954

Copies Referred
To..........

A survey disclosed that six Defence Ministers definitely proposed to attend exercise "Battle Royal" (Belgium,
Canada, France, Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom); five would
probably do so (Denmark, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Turkey),
and two would not attend (Luxembourg and United States). Under
the circumstances, it was agreed to proceed with the necessary
arrangements.

2.
The exercise in question was being held between
September 23 and 28 next. It was thought that the latter parts
would probably be the most interesting, and that, very likely,
Ministers would be invited for September 26 and 27. The Standing .
Group and SACEUR were being consulted, and the Council would be
notified as soon as a decision had been made.

3.

The S.G,L,0. thought that good accounts of exercise
"Battle Royal” could be found in the London Times of June 24th
and in the Stars and Stripes of June 25th,
