Pacific Allies Launch Meeting to Organize Council Like NATO
A three nation initiative led by the United States Australia and New Zealand plans a meeting in New York to organize a Pacific security council. Officials say the council could become the nucleus of a broader Pacific defense arrangement inviting other nations later. The move aims to avoid provocation while enabling collective defense under a NATO style council. President Truman moved Myron Cowen to coordinate the effort and to coordinate a separate U S Philippine security treaty. Spender Casey and Cowen are slated for further conferences this week as talks proceed.
