McLean, federal mem- ber for Huron -Perth representing Canada on the Un'ted Nations' leg- al committee in New York, told members of that body in a speech Tuesday that Canada datibd whe- ther it is possible to get a work- able definition of aggression during the preSent state of international tension. "Any definition of aggres- sion," Mre' McLean said, "must mean the same thing to all mem- bers." A practical example of the diffi- culties, he said, is in the case of Korea, where the majority agrees that North Korea was the aggres- sor while the Soviet bloc says it was South Korea. Not Opposed To Definition Mr. McLean said aggression should be determined "in the judg- ment and conscience of the world which is to be freely expressed in an international, collective, politi- cal appraisal of the conduct of states in each given cese." The Canadian -said his` delegation is not opposed to defining aggres- sion but doubts the possibility of agreeing during present interna- tional tensions on a "workable def- inition which would further the aims of the United Nations in its efforts to prevent war." Russia has presented a resolu- tion to the committee which offers a long list of types of aggression. Mr. McLean made an indirect refer- ence to this list. He said it is easy to enumerate the different kinds of aggression in the past but it is most difficult to get a, definition to cover all pos- sible form -s of future aggression "because of the constantly chang- ing- .methods and techniques not only of military and direct aggres sion, but particularly of non-mili- tary and so-called indirect aggres- sion." • Mr., Mrs. H.
