BALKAN COMMISSION: ATTITUDE OF THE CANADIAN DELEGATION

51. The Canadian delegation could base its attitude on the fact that the findings in the Greek dispute have been clearly established by eight of the eleven members of the Security Council's Commission of Investigation,129 and that the proposals based on these facts have been subscribed to by nine of the eleven members of the Commission. Any recommendation which is guided by the aim of preserving peace in the Balkans and preventing further disturbances along Greece's frontiers, could command the Canadian delegation's support. It is clear that a situation likely to endanger peace should be controlled by the United Nations. The particular way in which the problem will be raised at the General Assembly cannot be foreseen at the present time. However, the fact that any General Assembly recommendation is subject to the difficulties and inadequacies outlined above need not deter the Canadian delegation from supporting a resolution aimed at control of violations of Greece's borders, especially since all indications point to the fact that these violations are likely to increase rather than diminish.
