Mr. Fleming:

May I ask the minister further whether there are any specific instructions as to seeking a widening or any particular form of modification of the existing agreement or is it merely a matter of a general extension?

Mr. Howe (Port Arthur):

No. This is a discussion of individual items. Whether we may widen the area of negotiation I cannot say. Frankly, we think that the results are not likely to be startling.

Hon. R. O. Campney (Minister of National Defence):

I thank the hon. member for giving me notice of his question. I may say that the question of manning the D.E.W. line, which, of course, is not yet completed, is under consideration. As it is at present the subject of discussions I think it would be premature for me to comment. As soon as it is possible to make a statement with respect to the matter one will be made.
