SHARP RIGHT Canadian minister of external affairs chats with US Secretary of State Soviet contradicts Canadas position HELSINKI CP - Russia firmly told Canada today that the question of preventing war should take precedence over the promotion of greater human contacts which the Canadians have been press pressing ¬ ing at the European security conference here The Russian view was can candidly ¬ didly put to External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp dur during ¬ ing a free wheeling one hour discussion with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko Gromyko said Russia doesnt want to bury the human contacts issue but it must be kept in proper prop proportion ¬ ortion Sharp presented Gromyko with a Canadian submission to the conference which pro provides ¬ vides for among other things prompt permission by par participating ¬ ticipating states for their The Canadian minister recalled Germany prior to the Second World War As a stu student ¬ dent he had found much sus suspicion ¬ picion there of outsiders and without that feeling the Nazis would never have been able to persuade the German people to go to war This was a good example of how lack of exchanges with the outside world kept ten tensions ¬ sions high at the human level of international affairs Sharp said Gromyko stuck to his posi position ¬ tion that the important ques question ¬ tion in Helsinki is ensuring the preservation of peace a purpose the Russians say they want to promote through obtaining a conference affir affirmation ¬ mation of such principles as the inviolability of frontiers and the banning of
