THE CANADIAN. GOVERNMENT WHITE PAPER..,DEFENCE IN THE 70'S,SETS OUT
NATIONAL AIMS AS:-
# ( 1. THAT CANADA WILL CONTINUE SECURE AS AN INDEPENDENT POLITICAL
ENTITY,
SLIDE 2. THAT CANADA. AND ALL CANADIANS WILL ENJOY
PROSPERITY IN THE WIDEST POSSIBLE SENSE,
?', 3. THAT ALL CANADIANS WILL SEE IN THE LIFE THEY HAVE AND THE
CONTRIBUTION THEY MAKE TO HUMANITY SOMETHING
WORTHWHILE
- 2 -
( PRESERVING IN IDENTITY AND PURPOSE.
TO ACHIEVE THE AIMS NATIONAL POLICY IS MORE SPECIFICALLY DEFINED AS SEEKING
TO:-
SLIDE
1. FOSTER ECONOMIC GROWTH
2.'SAFEGUARD SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE
3. WORK-FOR PEACE AND SECURITY.
4. PROMOTE SOCIAL JUSTICE
5. ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE
(6, ENSURE A HARMONIOUS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
THE FIRST CONCERN OF DEFENCE POLICY IS THE NATIONAL AIM OF ENSURING
THAT CANADA SHOULD CONTINUE SECURE AS AN INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ENTITY AND
IF WE EXAMINE THE THEMES FLOWING FROM THE THREE NATIONAL AIMS, ONE CAN
ENVISAGE A MAJOR ROLE IN SAFEGUARDING CANADIAN SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE.

ALSO. IMPLICIT IN THE AIMS AND THEMES IS THE NEED OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND
THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE HAS A MAJOR ROLE TO PLAY.( rl/n!
IN FACT.,TO SUPPORT THE NATIONAL POLICY, THE DEFENCE DEPARTMENT HAS
ESTABLISHED PRIORITIES FOR DEFENCE WHICH ARE RESPONSIVE TO NATIONAL INTERESTS
AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS, THE FOUR MAJOR AREAS OF ACTIVITY FOR THE
CANADIAN FORCES ARE;-
A. THE SURVEILLANCE OF OUR OWN TERRITORY AND COAST LINES, I.E. THE
PROTECTION OF OUR SOVEREIGNTY,

SURVEILLANCE OUR EQUIPMENT AND SKILLS COULD BEIUSED TO POLICE OR CONTROL

I HAD BEEN ASKED TO SPEAK ON SURVEILLANCE "AFTER THE LAW OF THE SEA
CONFERENCE". I HAVE. OF COURSE. BEEN SPEAKING ON CANADIAN DEFENCE POLICY
AND THE REASONS FOR IT FORMULATED DURING 1970/71 AND PUBLISHED IN THE WHITE
PAPER IN AUGUST 1971.
FOUR FIFTHS OF THE GLOBE CIN WHICH WE LIVE IS COVERED BY WATER. IT
HAS BEEN SAID THAT HE WHO COMMANDS THE SEAS COMMANDS THE WORLD. AS A
MARITIME COMMANDER. I LIKE THAT ASSESSMENT FOR IT SHOULD CERTAINLY-BRING
MARITIME FORCES INTO PROMINENCE. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT NO NATION TODAY.
TAKING ACCOUNT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND COSTS CAN COMMAND THE SEA ALONE

AND CERTAINLY WE IN CANADA CANNOT. HOWEVER. WE ARE A TRADING NATION AND
OUR GOODS TRAVEL THE SEA LINES OF COMMUNICATION AND ON ALL THREE COASTS
WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY AN EXTENSIVE CONTINENTAL SHELF AND THE RESOURCE
I"* "4'y .O
WHICH IS FOUND20VER THAT SHELF. ONE SHOULD CERTAINLY CONCLUDE THAT WE MUST
HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE SEAS OFF OUR COASTS FOR COMMERCIAL AND DEFENCE
REASONS. EVERY COUNTRY CLAIMS SIMILAR INTERESTS OFF THEIR COASTS BUT AS
THE SEA HAS. BEEN THE TRADITIONAL FREE HIGHWAY OBTAINING AGREEMENT ON HOW
AREAS TRADITIONALLY ACCEPTED AS FREE WILL BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLEDX I CAN
CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTY OF OBTAINING AGREEMENT AND WHY. THEREFORE
THE LAW OF THE SEA CONFERENCE HAS HAD SUCH DIFFICULTIES.
ALTHOUGH THE LAW OF THE SEA AND THE FINAL OUTCOME WILL HAVE EFFECTS.
I HOPE THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID WILL HAVE SHOWN YOU THAT WE HAVE HAD A POLICY

6, AMB, STEVENSON SUPPORTED HOLDING NEXT SESSION AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE AND, TO SUSTAIN MOMENTUM, HE URGED LOGISTIC SUPPORT FOR
INTER-SESSIONAL WORK, HE SAID THAT SUCH WORK IS PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT SINCE THE UNIFIED TEXTS WILL CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF
THE NEXT SESSION, CONSULTATIONS COULD PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES
TO AGREE ON SINGLE AMENDMENTS RATHER THAN BE FACED WITH A PRO-
LIFERATION OF AMENDMENTS, FURTHER, MORE EFFICIENT WORK AT NEXT
SESSION COULD BE EXPECTED IF RESULTS OF WORK OF INFORMAL GROUPS
COULD BE AVAILABLE AT ITS OPENING RATHER THAN DEVELOPED DURING
THE CONFERENCE SESSION ITSELF.

FOCUSING ON-LIMITATION OF SUBMERGED PROLONGATION OF LAND
MASS, _CHILE INTRODUCED ANOTHER AMENDMENT WITH THRUST IN
SAME DIRECTION. AMB STEVENSON MADE PRESENTATION IN
EVENSEN GROUP AND ALSO AT BRIEF PRESS CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY
ON REVENUE SHARING AS MEANS OF ACCOMMODATING INTERESTS OF
BROAD MARGIN STATES IN JURISDICTION OVER THE MARGIN BEYOND

SUGGESTED FIGURE O F ONE PERCENT ESCALATING OVER A PERIOD
OF YEARS TO FIVE PERCENT, WITH NO PAYMENT IN FIRST FIVE
YEARS IN ORDER TO PERMIT RECOVERY OF INITIAL COSTS. HE
NOTED DIFFICULTIES WITH SYSTEM OF PROFIT SHARING INCLUDING
NECESSITY OF UNIFORM ACCOUNT SYSTEM TO ASSESS COSTS ON
UNIFORM BASIS, ENDORCEMNT, UNCERTAINTY OF PAYMEN4, AND

WORKING GROUP MEETINGS ON THE DUMPING ARTICLE, AGREE-
MENT WAS REACHED ON THREE PARAGRAPHS, CALLING FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF BOTH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STAND-
ARDS TO PREVENT POLLUTION FROM DUMPING, AND PROVIDING
FOR "EXCLUSIVE" COASTAL STATE AUTHORIZATION OF DUMPING
OFF ITS COASTS, WITHIN UNSPECIFIED LIMITS TO BE NEGOTIATED
AT A LATER TIME. FOOTNOTES TO THE AGREED TEXT INDICATE
THAT "DUMPING" IS INTENDED TO HAVE THE SAME SCOPE AS IT
DOES IN THE 1972 DUMPING CONVENTION, AND THAT THE USE
OF THE TERM "EXCLUSIVE" IS NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT THE
JURISDICTION OF PORT OR COASTAL STATE TO ESTABLISH
STRICTER OR ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS ON DUMPING WITHIN THE
AREAS WHERE COASTAL STATES HAVE JURISDICTION.

Morocco
REFERRED T O VIOLATION OF MOROCCAN TERRITORIAL SEA BY
SPANISH NAVAL VESSELS WHICH ATTACKED PATROL BOATS OF
MOROCCO. HE STATED SPANISH COULD CONTROL STRATEGIC
TRAFFIC THROUGH GILBRALTAR BY ESTABLISHING INTER-
CEPTION LINES BETWEEN SPANISH MAINLAND AND ENCLAVES.
WHILE MOROCCO SUPPORTED INNOCENT PASSAGE OF STRAITS,
THEY HAD NO AMBITION TO "LORD OVER" MARITIME TAFFIC.
GHARBI STATED THAT COLONIAL OCCUPATION OF NECLAVES
CONSTITUTED PERMANENT SECURITY THREAT TO MOROCCO.
AT THE SAME TIME. HE INDICATED THAT IF THERE WAS NO
HARM, "THERE WAS NO NEED FOR CONSTRAINTS" IN CON'
NECTION WITH THE STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR. SPANISH
EXERCISED RIGHT OF REPLY; IN LOW-KEY FASHION,
THEY INDICATED THAT THEY RESERVED THEIR POSITION,
21 COMMENT:
THIS IS FIRST PUBLIC INDICATION BY MOROCCO OF FLEX-
IBILITY ON STRAITS PASSAGE. MOROCCO'S ATTACK ON
SPANISH WAS OBVIOUSLY INTENDED TO CONVEY MESSAGE
THAT MOROCCANS NO LONGER HOLD IDENTICAL VIEWS WITH
SPANISH ON REGIME OF PASSAGE IN STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR.
