Cool Response
Seen To Latin !
American Plan
'By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
President Kennedy met privatelv
this morning with Canada's Prime
Minister for more than two hours
and, this afternoon, was to address
a joint session rfi the Canadian par-
liament. Among other things. Ken-
nedy is expected to propose that
Canada join the United States in
the program to bolster Democracy
in Latin America. Observers say
'he President could encounter a
non - committal, if not cool res-
ponse
Among the issues considered cer-
tain to arise in his talks with Can-
adian Primp Minister Diefenbaker
were: Aid to Latin America, policy
toward Cuba, and positions on
emergencies in Southeast Asia and
Africa.
Pledges of continued cooperation
between the two Western hemis-
phere allies were exchanged at the
airport upon the arrival of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kennedy yesterday.
Thpir first day was taken up with
social activities .topped off with
a state dinner last night.
Mr. Kennedy, of French ances-
try and a onetime student at the
sorbonne in Paris, was to make a
loimlnute recorded greeting in
French today to Canada's French-
speaking population. About 25 per
cent of Canadians are French-
speaking and French and English
are Canada's official languages.
Cuba may be President Ken-
nedy's stumbling block in Ottawa.
Although Canada is described as
far Yrom happy with the Castro dic-
tatorship. It has not shared Wash-
ington's concern over Fidel Castro
as a communist menace to the en-
tire hemisphere. Prime Minister
Diefenbeker commented recently
that it is not Canada's place to say
how other countries should man-
age their internal affairs.
Cubas' government - controlled
press charges that President Ken-
nedy's visit to Ottawa is aimed at
enlis'ing Canadian support for lr.
S. aggression against the Caitro
regime. One newspaper says that
continuing trade between Canada
and Cuba has created enmity bet-
ween Canada and the United States.
