Lester Pearson and NATO. Crossroads for Both
Greer, Harold | May 26, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

According to the popular press, the latest meeting of the North Atlantic Council was a "crossroads" session. The issue before its members was whether North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is to erode away or whether a sounder foundation for it than fear can be developed to give it permanency. To find out just how much — or how little — they really agreed with each other, the foreign ministers named three of their number to take soundings and report back next autumn. The chairman of these three is Lester Pearson of Canada, who is now in the unique position of trying to find out whether he has a future in NATO.
