Marine ip ig, and swing, visits to Japan and China, and the Commonwealth summit in New Delhi, Trudeau's initiatives still remain large- ly shrouded in But even the broad outlines fall afoul of positions held by countries critical to the initiative’s success. Translating Trudeau's ideas into realities will require some nuclear weapons and agreed on a reduction by half of ‘all their nuclear weapons . . . should (a meeting) be convened. with the partici- - pation of all nuclear weapon states.

Two of the key proposals, banning space weapons and a conference of the five nuclear-armed countries, are en- tangled in a web of conflicting defence postures. President Reagan has said U.S. nuclear defence will be predicated‘ on space weapons armed with lasers or particle-beam weapons. to destroy Soviet missiles. : While some experts discount the plan's technological feasibility and der- ide it as Star Wars fiction, its aband- onment would represent a turnaround for Reagan. As for the notion of a conference of nuclear-armed powers, it may be the most obvious way to d accord satisfying Chinese requirements seems impossible. And French President Francois Mit- terrand, considered by Canadian dip- lomats as the most likely European champion of the Trudeau initiative, has set equally unlikely Preconditions toa conference, More importantly, the French leader’ outlined ‘those conditions in an. inter- view given more than a week after his meeting with Trudeau.

Of the remaining three nuclear- armed nations, France and China hold P which eff any such meeting. And despite vague noises of approval from all three, the British press has reported Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher reluctantly agreed to Com- monwealth endorsement of Trudeau's peace pilgrimage. The Foreign Office says no official British policy has been enunciated about a nuclear-armed conference. The question has “never been addressed,” said a spokesman. France and hina have been far more definitive and problematical as satellite weapons.” .The latter include important U.S. defence priorities. Yet Mitterrand said: “These condi- tions must be adopted before France can think of entering into such a nego- tiation” — a nuclear-armed nations’ conference. Trudeau needs far more than plat- itudes praising his pursuit of peace. There seems scant likelihood for the superpowers to press for a five-way meeting. As for the other three, Britain has shown no enthusiasm while France and “China would have to discard their current positions. With the political showpieces of Trudeau's initiatives facing such long odds, the even-harder-to-negotiate.and still unveiled specifics seem even more remoté, (Canadian Press) nme His as the adviser who funnels foreign and options to a president who has often: | seemed out of touch with key details has.been accepted with some relief by U.S. foreign-affairs and for- eign diplomats.

His experience in the White House, the State Department, on Capitol Hil and overseas is judged to have made him more a moderate pragmatist than the man he replaced, William Clark, the new interior secretary, or than his reputed rival for the national security post, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, U.S. ambas- sador to the UN. McFarlane's promotion from his post as:Clark’s deputy thus is seen as a signal that the Reagan administration is anxious to present a less bellicose face to the world, especially to the Soviets, and also to the domestic elec- torate in advance of national elections - next November. Henry Kissinger, a former national fficially, council membership is confirmed to the president as chair- man; the cabinet secretaries of state and defence, currently George Shultz and Caspar Weinberger; the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Wil- liam Casey; and the national security adviser, now McFarlane.

The competition contributed to the resignations of three state including William Rogers in 1978, while Kissinger held sway, and Cyrus Vance in 1980, as Brzezinski followed Kis- singer's assertive power pattern. Last year, Alexander Haig quit after complaints about White House inter- ference, although Richard Allen, sec- urity adviser at the time, wielded less’ clout than his predecessors and suc- cessors. Last summer, Shultz was widely reported to be upset by Clark- designed policy shifts on arms control and Central America. Kissinger, who at different times held both posts, together and separ. ately, says in his memoirs now that “I have become convinced that the presi: dent should make the secretary of state ' his principal adviser and use the na- tional security adviser: as 8 penlor Remember When? ‘Castlegar News Barber Shop: We have evant dcsare Oe services of Mr. Allan Hall and now have two barber chairs at’ your service.
