Biographical Sketch

Reginald Herbert Roy was born in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, on 11

December 1922. He joined the ranks of the Cape Breton Highlanders in

1939 and served with the regiment in Britain, Italy, France, Belgium,

Holland and Germany. He was commissioned as an officer in 1943 and

returned to Canada in 1945. From 1946 to 1951 Roy attended the

University of British Columbia, obtaining an Honours B.A. in History

in 1950 and an M.A. in History in 1951. After receiving his M.A. he

moved to Ottawa, spending two years as a call-out officer at the

Historical Section (G.S.), Canadian Army Headquarters, researching and

writing the history of the Canadian Army. He worked as an archivist

at the Public Archives of Canada, military records section, from 1953

to 1954 and, returning to Victoria, at the Provincial Archives of

British Columbia from 1954 to 1958. In 1958 he became an instructor

at Royal Roads Military College, Dept. of History and Economics, in

Victoria. He taught there for a year and was then appointed History

Instructor at Victoria College (later the University of Victoria),

becoming Assistant Professor in 1961. In 1965 Roy obtained his Ph.D.

in History at the University of Washington; his thesis was entitled,

"The British Columbia Dragoons and Its Predecessors". He was

subsequently promoted to associate professor of History at U. Vic. and

was made full professor in 1970, specializing in military history,

defence studies and Canadian history.

In addition to his academic career, Prof. Roy continued his close

association with the military. From 1954 to 1958 he served as a

captain with the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's), and

from 1958 to 1968 commanded the Canadian Officers Training

Corps/Regular Officer Training Plan, UBC Contingent, U. Vic.

Detachment. After serving in these capacities he was returned to the

supplementary reserve of officers. He was promoted to major in

October 1963 and awarded the Canada Decoration in December 1963.

Prof. Roy has served on many university committees and offices.

He was Associate Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies from 1973-74

and Acting Dean from 1974-75. He served as Pro-Tem Chairman of the U.

Vic. Social Sciences Research Centre in 1970, appointed Chairman in

1971, and helped oversee the compilation of the Bibliography of

British Columbia (3 vols.) until the Centre closed in 1975. He was

Faculty Representative to the U. Vic. Alumni Association from 1963 to

1969 and served as Faculty Advisor to the Alumni Association from 1969

to 1984. He has been equally busy outside the U. Vic. community,

serving on the Historic Commemorations Sub-Committee of the Canadian

Confederation Centennial Committee of British Columbia from 1964 to

1967. He has given numerous lectures and addresses on various aspects

of military history at seminars, conferences and universities in

2

Canada, the United States, Australia and South Africa.

Prof. Roy's extensive published works include the books Ready for

the Fray: A History of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess

Mary's), 1920-1955 (published 1958); Sinews of Steel: A History of the

British Columbia Dragoons (1965); The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada

(1969); Telegrams of the North-West Campaign, 1885, co-edited with

Desmond Morton (1972); For Most Conspicuous Bravery: A Biography of

Maj.-Gen. G.R. Pearkes, V.C., Through Two World Wars (1977); and 1944:

The Canadians in Normandy (1984). He has written many articles for

journals and contributed chapters to the books The Canadian Military:

A Profile, New Dimensions in Military History, and War and Society.

Biographical Sketch cont'd.

Prof. Roy has been awarded numerous grants for his research

projects, including Canada Council grants for the Bibliography of

British Columbia and University of Victoria grants for his biography

of Maj.-Gen. Pearkes. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical

Society in 1966, one of many honours he has received in the course of

his career.

Scope and Content

The records of Prof. Reginald Roy document many aspects of his

varied career. Most numerous is the background material to his

research on Canadian military history, particularly his books on the

Canadian involvement in the Normandy campaign and the histories of

several Canadian regiments. Also included are records of his

activities with the COTC/ROTP, the U. Vic. Alumni Association, and

other committees and offices. In addition, Prof. Roy collected many

articles, clippings, brochures and similar records dealing with NATO,

NORAD, South Africa, South-West Africa and Namibia, which he used as

background material for his numerous lectures on these subjects.

The series descriptions which follow outline the records and

their various accessions in more detail. Prof. Roy began transferring

his records to the University Archives in the early 1970's, although

some of these records remained unprocessed for several years. Many of

the same subjects and types of records are scattered throughout

different accessions; therefore an index to names and subjects appears

at the end of this inventory which will help to tie the material

together. As Prof. Roy is still teaching and writing, he will likely

continue to transfer his records to the Archives for some time to

come, and this inventory will be updated as necessary.

Researchers may also wish to consult the military history

interviews on audio tape, many of which were conducted by Prof. Roy

and which complement information contained in his own records. Other

related records include those of the University of Victoria Social

Sciences Research Centre, which contains rough drafts, transcripts of

interviews and background material for Prof. Roy's biography of Maj.-

Gen. Pearkes. Prof. Roy's Ph.D. thesis, "The British Columbia

Dragoons and its Predecessors" (University of Washington, 1965), is

also available in the University Archives.

Roy Lecture Series

This is a series of tapes currently only available as reel to reel made by speakers to Dr. Reginald

Roy Lectures

378 Agnew, J.

Lecture: Coalition Warfare: The U.S. Involvment in Vietnam.

Interviewer: none

original sound tape reel (ca. 33 min.): 1 7/8 ips., 2 track

Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series

no date , UVIC.

Restriction: none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Also called "alliance/warfare"; associated problems. Early

times, U.S. largely alone. Boxer Rebellion in China first real U.S. joint action. World Wars I & II

and Korea were true alliances. Question: Are coalitions good or bad? Problem of supreme

command, logistics, communications, etc. No combined command in Vietnam - SEATO

involvment -Unity of effort is hard to achieve. Mutual support took much time to make effective.

This was not always a good way to fight a war. U.S. wanted to forget a "Non-Win" an

unfortunate involvment. For the future, none forseeably as effective as that' in W.W. II. Answer

to question: Best when cohesion of effort exists for both sides.

379 Auty, Phyllis Lecture: Tito and Yugoslavia

Interviewer: none


Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series no date, UVIC.

Restriction:none

Note that Dr. Auty has written two books (at least) about this phase of the war.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Background to Tito, a popular leader. Ethnic groups (e.g.

Croats vs. Serbs) a major problem. Tito, a long-time communist, established the only Yugoslav

National Party although it remained very small for years. Hitler invaded in April, 1941 - a ten

day campaign. The Communist party was the only surviving political party. On June 22, 1941,

Hitler invaded Russia thus releasing Tito to go to war against the Germans with a well organized

guerrilla war. Tito had gained military experience as a member of the Austro-Hungarian army in

the Great War. Captured by the Russians, he saw, as a P.O.W., the Russian Revolution and

gained much as an observer. He created an army, not just a guerrilla organization, which was

then considered a novel idea. Formed "brigades" of about 1,000 men. Short-term objective to

defeat the enemy and, long-term, to govern the country. Established "liberated areas" from which

he could operate. Set up civil governments with very strictly enforced laws - and in the military.

Explains about Mihajlovic, leader of the Royalist Serbian army. By 1943 Tito had an army of

200,000 men and women. Describes the major battle in 1944. British sent agents. Tito's problems

mainly political toward the end of the war.

380.1 Avakrmcovic, Ivan, Prof. U.B.C. (formerly U of Manitoba?)Lecture: Communist

Subversion in Europe

Interviewer: none


Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series Possibly 1978, UVIC.

Restriction:none

Dr. R.H. Roy commented that these lectures were some of the best offered by a guest lecturer.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Explains subversion as espionage, terrorism, and seizing power

by violent means. Many other means and directed by many. Women played a larger part than in

the West. Much effort in gathering intelligence. Russian revolutionary tradition. Agents were

usually recruited by payment or blackmail. Ideological conviction not as common except in parts

of Russia. Personal family anecdote. After the Russian revolution three kinds of intelligence

services were established and many training schools, including political Schools. Universities for

young Communist sympathizers, even possibly sympathetic, especially from Africa and the Near

and Far East. Intelligence Officers often took menial jobs as a cover. Military and economic

intelligence gathered. Attacks on anti-communists were promoted. Russian agents in British

Service and other Intelligence Services. Listening devices used. Some Soviet Agents defected

but the Russians had many successes. Communists claimed not to be in favor of violence unless

absolutely necessary. They prefer a peaceful approach to power. Left of centre governments a

useful starting place but in practice were only present in a small number of democratic countries.

Failure of the "peaceful' method could cause guerrilla operations to arise. Export of revolution

through military means is also useful and has been practiced many times.

Subversion in Canada.

Interviewer: none


Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series Possibly 1978, UVIC.

Restriction:none

Dr. R.H. Roy commented that these lectures were some of the best offered by a guest lecturer.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 2Some methods of Russian direction of Communist agents not

well known but often directed to agitation in trade unions and ethnic groups. Not a lot of

attention paid to communism in Canada. There are no autobiographies of former communists and

the R.C.M.P. files are closed as a source of information. Basically the Canadian party was built

on the Russian model. Full-time revolutionaries were required to lead. Both legal and illegal

methods of operation were fostered. Part of the CommunistInternational. Problems of

establishing a party. Some old Marxists, some 1917 Marxists, and some who fought in the

I.W.W. (anarchists) originally many Finns, fewer Ukrainians, Jews and a few Anglos. Slowly

won a few seats in parliament and provincial legislatures but not a popular party. In the l920's

some were imprisoned. Some were also imprisoned in 1940 for opposing the war effort. (The

Russian-German treaty of that time.) Police harassment could be a problem. Instructions from

Moscow could also cause problems, e.g. changes in attitude, practically over-night the "party-

line" could change. Some opposition by Canadians who usually had to be forced out of the party.

Communism did not have much application to the Canadian scene. The American Communist

Party had some influence in Canada. An intelligence centre was established in the 1920's and, in

war-time, run from the Soviet embassy. Interested in pipelines, atomic research,infiltrating

government organizations, ethnic groups (particularly Central European). Canada was sometimes

used by American and German communists "on the run". After the war communist defector

provided a great deal of information. Some important communists fled the country. Mackenzie

King told Americans and British but unfortunately held a naive opinion of Stalin & Co. The

Canadian Communist Party was discredited. Increased Canadian security. Eastern European

immigrants were a source of communist agents. Also the R.C.M.P. had staffing and financial

problems. What can be done in an "Open Society"? Very difficult to obtain information, etc.

381 Baines, J.A., Mr., Victoria, Former R.C.A.F. Navigator Lecture: Dirigibles

Interviewer: none


Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series 12 Oct. 1971, UVIC.

Restriction:none

Balance of lecture unrecorded.Side 2, blank

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Something of the beginning of lighter-than-aircraft and of

hydrogen gas used later in them. In l670 balloons were damned as diabolical machines. By the

early 1900's passenger flights were fairly common. Early military use by the Germans

(dirigibles). Used with some success against England but at heavy cost. Describes the fate of

some Zeppelins, early ones lacked height potential but later were able to reach 20,000 feet. The

British eventually built some large machines (the R-l00 series) which tended to be somewhat

unreliable! Describes some of the factors influencing flight - rain, snow, wind, amount of gas

carried, etc. Gas bags could burst if not volume delicately controlled. U.S. dirigibles, the Los

Angeles, etc. where helium was used (not flammable). Graf Zeppelin circled the world in 12

days. British R-l0l started in 1924. Details of construction, also the R-l00. Gas bags made from

bullocks diaphragms. Very difficult to maintain, protection against mold, moisture, abrasion was

necessary. Great trouble with engine weight causing some instability. The R-l0l crashed on her

maiden voyage. In 1925 the non-rigid blimps came into service.

remarksTape ends a few minutes before lecture does. Side 2 blank.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Liddell Hart, early career. Military correspondent for the Daily

Telegraph, 1925-35, and for the Times of London, 1935-40. Very modern ideas of warfare and

during the mid-thirties was an important adviser to the war Ministry. The "indirect approach"

taken up by the Germans and used on a large scale 1939-40. Not accepted on anything like that

scale by the British. Hart was able to confirm German interest in his theories by interviewing

German generals after the war. One of the earliest to see the deterrent effect of nuclear weapons.

Post-war he became well recognized as a major proponent of the rank. Besides the Germans, the

Russians had shown interest as had the Israeli forces later. Between the Wars L.H. had been an

advocate of British abstention from land warfare on continental Europe. Britain had made too

many illogical efforts in the Great War. Liddell Hart had an important influence on British

military thinking (but slowly). In 1937 he influenced the appointment of some senior army

officers. This did not make him popular in certain circles. He was not sympathetic toward

guerrilla warfare, felt it was too disturbing to civilized behavior. Some additional thoughts on the

British resistance to blitzkrieg warfare.

David Burke, Assist. Professor of Political Science and Coordinator of Western European and

Cdn. Studies at the Naval Post-Graduate School, Monterey, Calif.NOTE: That Col. Burke

misjudged his time. As a result the lecture was not completed.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Strategic bombing, theory and practice. Hardware, as it was

introduced, caused changes in practice. Begun in the Great War by the Royal Naval Air Service

against the German Zepplin service. After Zepplins, the German air force used large heavy

bombers against London. (Book, "Sky on Fire") discuses some including the Gotha. Despite the

Kaiser's hesitation the German bombers were effective, flying from bases in Belgium. Night

bombing began, but was "area bombing". The Germans developed an effective incendiary bomb

but for Political reasons did not use it. The British established their own heavy bomber force.

Between the wars, theory had it that command of the air was vital, especially at the beginning of

a war. A "mix" of bombs (including gas) was touted. Thus the British fear of a gas attack at the

start of W.W.II. American thought prewar, was slow in gathering stern but eventually American

technology produced the DC-l, 2, & 3, the B-9 and B-lO, which flew faster than fighter aircraft

currently in service, finally an early version of the B-17. The Sperry bomb-sight was followed by

the Norden. By choice, Americans preferred bombing specific targets, not area bombing.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Reasons for an org. like NATO: standing together very

necessary. Compares the Russian attitude toward Eastern Europe to that of Hitler. The U.N. had

been reduced to near impotence due to Soviet veto. The twelve original nations in NATO were

there for flexibility, territorial integrity, detante, social and economic well-being. Collective

security, integrated military force. Brief description of chain-of-comand in NATO, from the

North Atlantic Council (money and resources), two supreme military commands (one.

"Atlantic") and sub-commands. Of necessity largely a military organization. The Cuban Crisis

brought about nuclear restraint - the realization how close war was at that time. Czech affair,

comments on Soviet Russia, the Warsaw pact and the unchanging Political situation. This was,

however, somewhat of a live and let-live period. The Russian promoted a European pact with

economic and technical benefits without Western political ideas. On the other hand the West

promoted strategic arms limitation talks, levels of conventional forces, Stabilization of national

borders, negotiations and a treaty regarding Berlin.Questions:Soviets kept up pressure on

German militarism, which did not really exist. Spread of Russian influence in the Mediterranean,

a de-stabilizing force. Greece a problem country. NATO not involved in the internal affairs of

other member countries. NATO viewed Yugoslavia favorably. Russia-U.S.-NATO relative

strengths, not good regarding land forces, but mutually effective nuclear deterrence. Noted that

the "first step" causing war was not worth it.

Salerno. Locations picked were subject to the availability of landing craft and the range of fighter

air-craft. Support for the Yugoslavian partisans. Anzio landing a complete surprise but not fully

exploited. Flexibility is vital in any grand strategy. Command of the sea is vital, today as

including political, Diplomatic, Dept. of Defence, Military channels.Close monitoring of

technical changes and the forces available. Policy objectives exchange of ideas. Long-term

planning more difficult since governments think in short terms. Financing a stumbling block;

usually new equipment costs far more than originally thought - priorities are vital. World wide

stations is economically viable. Development of high tech military equipment. Defence

production sharing. Canada cannot afford to develop major defence items but we are expert in

many smaller components. American bases in Canada. Effectiveness of Canadian anti-submarine

capability. Canada is a valuable member of NATO and can bring some influence to bear on U.S.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1In general terms the need for NATO. Some felt that the UN

charter had caused doubts, including those of Great Britain. After the war, the Western Allies

turned from a military stance to a civilian one; Russia did not and, as well, held on to much

occupied territory. American interest was in a free Europe. Trueman doctrine. Marshall Plan. An

early collective start was made with the Brussels Treaty. Canada sent military observers to the

early organization. Remarks on the early structure of NATO. Canadian forces needed, ours were

professional but financial problems existed. Americans held supreme command as they were the

largest component, although there were some other nationalistic problems. Canada has made a

critical contribution but suspects that our efforts have fallen off somewhat in the past few years.

Some serious reductions.Question period: Scope and expansion of NATO. Works better with a

modest number of members. Practical effect of foreign commanders created some problems,

particularly with the French. Points out that serving officers in the Cdn. Forces must obey orders

or resign - then disillusioned officers, if any, can climb on their soap boxes!

North, then Bradley to push into the Saar. On the right, the push was to be frown the south of

France. The Combined Chiefs of Staff wanted to destroy the economic strength of Germany.

Berlin, the political centre, not the first priority. Allied forces ran into supply difficulties.

Insufficient transport to supply the armies. Two main thrusts toward Germany was decided

although Montgomery wanted just One. Problems arose in the Northern sector. Supply caused

the delay. It was planned that the Americans were to cross the Rhine, somewhat over-ambitious.

Surprise battle in the Ardennes. Later, the British still worried that continuing two offensives

would be dangerous. Eisenhower abandoned any idea of taking Berlin and much land that would,

in the future, fall into the Russian sector of Germany, partly because of the casualties that might

result. Question period: Discusses early days of American offensive in Normandy. Lack of

logistical support troops caused a problem. Aircraft in the Ardennes battle. German oil supply

which was synthetic (from coal) and failure to hit the transportation facilities had been a weak

spot in the bomber offensive. Opposing German forces in the invasion area, especially in the

American sector. Personal involvment in field artillery (155 mm). Ammunition shortage, rations

not balanced.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1War in China l937-45, rarely written about. At the start only a

small Japanese force in China. Main enemy always considered Russia. As a result of the large

Chinese army the Japanese had to send reinforcements. Japan mobilized, as did China. The

situation escalated largely due to misunderstandings and traditional hard feelings. Japanese

strategy, capture cities and rail centres. First Shanghai then Nanking. This would be a major

factor in winning the war. By 1939 they had more than 30 divisions in China, and in 1945 they

had a million men there, the largest Japanese army in the field. Heavy casualties on both sides.

Japanese feelings and command decisions. Chinese fought a war of attrition. Japanese felt very

superior and expected to win the war quickly. Initially both the Russians and the Germans

assisted the Chinese. In Japan a lack of production off military supplies and civilian goods

caused problems. Not a good supply system. The Japanese knew how to start a war but not how

to end one.Questions:Attempt to renew the martial spirit in post-war Japan. Little chance. Start

although this lecture concerned with European Turkish Empire. Mercenary troops. Western

coalition to fight the Turks, particularly in the Balkans (1300's). Organization of armed forces,

grand strategy, tactics. Firstly a cavalry force - a feudal organization responsible only to the

Sultan. This was largely recruited from Christian children, males of about 10 years who, after

training and conversion as Moslems, became cavalrymen. Sultan in complete control. Most

administrators were also foreign-born, also converts. Civilian control entrusted to various

religious leaders throughout the Empire, thus exhibiting considerable tolerance. Tactics in war

included the famous half-moon formation for enveloping the enemy; cavalry on the wings,

infantry in the centre. The Turks were considered a savage enemy (not without cause) and this

was psychologically very effective. In due course (c.1699) much of the European Ottoman

Empire was lost. The armed forces declined - recruitment of the Janissarys (the elite infantry

formed, like the cavalry, from former Christian male children) became less rigorous, and more

corrupt and somewhat obsolete. Added to that, the European states became stronger. Finally

presents a brief comment on Republican Turkey.

aircraft would never be used in war. Designers and Governments soon changed that. Now there

is a very close relationship between the two and with war. Gives some historic details of flight.

Problems encountered by aircraft Designers and Governments. Inter-service rivalry may be

beneficial, or not, re: aircraft production.Aircraft played an important part in the Great War, the

majority of aircraft in Europe. In 1914 there was only a few aircraft but by l9l8 the R.F.C. had

some 22,000 aircraft. Performance tremendously improved. Roles: scouting, air warfare (tactics

were developed), ground support. The British and the Germans were both innovative. British

naval air fell behind due to opposing schools off thought and inter-service rivalry. The naval air

service had set up a bombing wing and also established fighter Squadrons on the Western Front.

Later purely naval use languished although some anti-submarine work was done. Much theory

was expounded between the wars, including the theory that air power would win the next war.

Conclusion: air power was a sort of religion, revolutionary but not effective in isolation.

Jewish influx to Palestine caused a division of that country. He blames Britain for leaving that

county too early. They should have stayed until more peaceful conditions prevailed. Russian

influence in the Near East; an old enemy of Turkey. The British navy began to withdraw from

the Mediterranean thus allowing the Russian fleet to partially fill the vacuum. In 1967 Egypt

attacked Israel. Glubb feels that the Russians wanted Egypt to be defeated so that, as rescuers,

they could extend their influence. This was especially important as the U.S. supported Israel. The

Russians thus obtained an important naval base. Partition of Palestine - an unfair situation for the

Palestinians Russian propaganda attacked British imperialism in the Near East. The Russians are

newcomers at the same game. Many in that part of the world favored the Western European style

of civilization, not the Russian version. The Jewish influence is strong in the West but not in the

Middle East, bar Israel. Other countries lean toward their "friend", Russia. Russian influence in

the Indian Ocean. As long as Russia and the United States do not agree on a solution to Middle

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 2 of Mason

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 2Some early aspects of Ludendorfs life. From 1916 to 1918

Ludendorf was effectively the leader of Germany. Comments on the high status of the German

army and as an essential part of German life. A very professional army. German General Staff -

almost a separate entity in mobilization section, although he was subsequently transferred. In

German military doctrine offense is preferred. Railways emphasized with complete military

control. Staff officers were men of intellect and maximum results were expected. Sometimes the

political aspect of military operations was ignored, the whole being better than the part.

Ludendorf may not have fully recognized and adjusted to a changing, modern world. In the Great

War he fought at Liege then in East Prussia where he was chief of staff. Russians defeated by

smaller but more efficient German forces. Superior railways, administration and in better

physical condition of the troops. When in the West again Ludendorf found that many political

considerations were not in his field of expertise. The German war effort required much change.

Ludendorf changed the defensive configuration of the army. Terrible losses encouraged

defensive zones, thinly held. Quick counter attacks. Enormous retraining needed. The offensive

in 1918 - a torrent of troops, by passing strong points, many light machine guns gave increased

fire-power and produced great results. In the event the politicians erred in giving the army more

than its' capabilities could handle and the army erred in aggressively believing that it could do

what was asked.

removal of upper deck equipment improved speed considerably. U.S. began working on nuclear

propulsion. Not requiring air for propulsion, nuclear submarines were very efficient. Russians

moved ahead with missiles. The U.S. Navy quickly developed the Polaris missile to catch up

with the Russians. Much of the world in range of submarine launched missiles. U.S. submarines

on constant 9-day patrols. Discusses Russian submarines. Very Low-Frequency under-water

until W.W. II. The Depression occupied much of our time. The war was a turning point - looking

beyond our borders. We became a major contributor to the war. Heightened interest in foreign

affairs; we became more important and were recognized as a "middle power". Expansion of our

overseas diplomatic positions. In the 1930's Skelton and Mackenzie King were somewhat

isolationist, particularly the former, but gradually younger, more activist members joined

External Affairs. Relationships between Great Britain, U.S. and Canada expanded to other

countries during the war. The Canadian Government very strongly in favor of independent action

within the Commonwealth. Especially impressed this on the U.S.A. Declaration of war in 1939,

a politically important move. We developed from a Depression nation to an employed, industrial

nation. More closely involved with the U.S., particularly in defence matters. (Ogdensburg

Agreement, defence of North America) Economic status improved. Canada made great efforts to

convince the Americans of our independence. We insisted on making our own decisions. Not too

close a relationship to the Commonwealth. Canada felt that, during the war, that it had a right to

sit on some committees under the Joint Chiefs of Staff (U.S. and Britain). Discusses the

Dr. Hinsley at preset (1976) writing the official British history of the Intelligence Services but

warned that he cannot divulge certain secret information at this date.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1ENIGMA codes broken, officially secret until 1974. Early

books hinted at this including Wing Commander Winterbottom and Bertrain (?) Fr. Both Polish

and French claim to deciphering differed from the British. The Poles passed their info to the

British, who went on to break the latest German efforts. Winterbottoms book largely inaccurate

but caused much controversy since he claimed that breaking the code was the cause of Allied

victory. Too simplistic an answer. Winter bottom occupied a peripheral position in the

distribution of ENIGMA data, not in the deciphering or strategic use of the information. Did the

P.M. suppress the intelligence regarding the bombing of Coventry? Information from a captured

German pilot true or not? In an aside, Hinsley claims that Wm. Stevenson's book is inaccurate.

ENIGMA particularly useful in revealing a method of accessing operational orders of the

German air force, especially when and where attacks were to take place. Until an authentic

record is produced many myths and errors will continue in the public domain.Questions

(answers):Constant monitoring was necessary as the German forces changed their ciphers on a

regular and/or operational basis. Germans had no reason to suspect that anything was wrong.The

quality of codes: low, medium and high grades all used. The enemy never broke the highest

Restriction:none

Side 2: Blank.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Canada criticized for a general lack of clout - too dependent on

the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Treaties made to contain Russia and its sphere of influence. This

resulted in many large U.S. and British bases. This circle was broken by arms aid provided by

Russia to smaller countries. Very effective in the Near East. When the Western World rejected

the supply of arms to Cuba, Russia filled the gap. Thus Russian influence spread. Market-driven

arms supply and rejection of old colonial powers open the door to Russia. Libya is a major arms

supply base for use by Russian foreign policy moves. The Russians are a significant military

presence in North Africa. Nationalism is a considerable factor to be utilized. Canada did not

actively oppose the spread of communist influence in former colonies. Russians efficient in

supplying training personnel fluent in almost any foreign tongue. Thus it was easier to train

Third World military. In his opinion Canada has a "head-in-sand" attitude toward much of

foreign affairs. Criticizes NATO for a general lack of common purpose except maintaining the

status quo. Much rationalization over our friendly "dictator-run" nations. Some aspects of

successful U.S. interventions.Questions:Interesting Russian/Indian trade agreements includes

licensing India to produce sophisticated Russian arms. India misused some Canadian aid to build

a fishing port that was made available to Russian naval units. Canadians ignore what they do not

want to hear regarding foreign affairs. American efforts often not very effective. Discusses

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1The area of the war and the political conflict Pres. Nasser of

Egypt originally had much influence. Some civil war in the Near East. Nasser losing influence.

Considers ways to recover it. The Palestinian problem provided it. Israel retaliated against Syria

and Jordan. The Russians promoted, for their own reasons, discord amongst the Arabs,

particularly Syria and Egypt. Domestic unrest was another reason for Egyptian aggression. A

Holy War became a popular cry. Egypt moved seven divisions into the Sinai. Arab hysteria

mounted giving rise to a political dilemma for the Arabs. The U.S. faced a difficult choice;

trouble whomever they supported. Israel had a shaky economy but was strategically strong and

in a good position for a short war. Arab propaganda, available in Israel, helped strengthen Israeli

morale. The Israeli gov't felt that a preemptive strike offered the best (and only) chance of a

favorable outcome. Reasons for Arab strengths and the reasons for their loss. Israel controlled

the air and their gamble in staking everything in a quick attack was effective. Mobility and

flexibility were two keys. Several frontier changes favorable to Israel were gained. Points out

that both the U.S. and Russia could have nipped the war in the bud had either had strong mobile

forces in the Mediterranean.Questions:

World War II"

Interviewer: none



Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1First use of strategic bombing was during the Great War.

Significance of bombing first realized by the Germans and continued by them. This caused the

British to bring fighters back from France. Two factors in defence was the establishment of the

Air Ministry and thus the R.A.F. Britain establish their own bomber force but the war ended

before it could see action against Germany proper. R.A.F. Bomber Command est. in 1936. Air

Marshal Trenchard great advocate. Some British aircraft not very effective but British Prime

Minister held firm to idea of bomber attack. The Halifax, Lancaster and Mosquito were fine,

effective aircraft. German anti-aircraft defences very good. British improved air navigation

systems. U.S.A.F.'s daylight precision bombing. Heavy losses until fighter protection available.

Pathfinder aircraft introduced. With heavy losses in Bomber Command serious "creeping" began,

bombs short of target. In July 1943 the R.A.F. and the U.S.A.F. destroyed Hamburg. "Window"

reduced aircraft losses. Fire-bombing very effective. 1943/44, the Battle of Berlin. Bomber

Command paid attention to the transportation system. Many losses. Aviation life of an air crew,

14 trips (a "tour" was 30 trips). This amounted to heavy casualties. Despite the bombing civilian

populations retained their morale.Questions: Control of bomber groups in the air, German

industrial losses.

Interviewer: none



Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 2Mentions air war against Japan, gradual use of incendiaries,

area bombing. Surveys carried out on effectiveness of bombing campaign. Somewhat

inconclusive results. Speer, of Germany, recounted the serious effects. The U.S., Russia, and

Britain began work on intercontinental bombers. The Russians began to build a large air defence

system, then nuclear weapons concentrating on rocketry. The U.S. Policy was one of

containment, then deterrence. The large U.S. bombers were not truly intercontinental as they

need forward bases in order to refuel, thus the bilateral treaties with foreign countries, esp. in the

Mediterranean. The U.S. produced aircraft of extremely high technology, but very expensive.

Emphasis changed to rocketry. Atomic weapons proliferated. U.S. established idea of flexible

response with assured destruction. Conventional forces build-up advocated. U.S.S.R. produced

an enormous missile development, both on land and in submarines. Need for control became

evident. Russian "Backfire" bomber introduced followed by the U.S. B-1, state of the art.

Emphasis switched to submarines. NORAD attack-warning system established. Salt I and II.

Now Salt II is dead and Salt I is ineffective since it did not control R.&D. NATO is leaning

toward "equivalent defence". U.S. reviving the B-1 bomber with up-dated electronics.Questions.

Interviewer: none


Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series March 1978, UVIC.

Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Blitzkrieg was both a strategic and tactical innovation in order

to bring about Hitler's dream of German living space. It was a method of reducing the horrors of

trench warfare. Hitler believed strongly in mechanization. Recognized that Germany had over-

stretched its ability at home and in war and was determined not to slip into that situation again.

See "Mein Kampf". Politically he needed the support of the army, especially the senior Officer

Corps. The General Staff was of extremely high quality but conservative. Guderian was an early

enthusiast for mechanization who had a powerful ally in Hitler. Goering formed the new German

air force basically on his Great War experiences, thus the emphasis on fighter aircraft. Some

effort to produce four-engined aircraft (bombers) but this petered out in time. The result was a

bomber force largely of two-engined fast medium bombers. The Spanish civil war provided

useful training. A favorite Blitzkrieg principle of war was "concentration of force". Emphasis

was on the moral fibre of the German people. Much propaganda - that of a military nature

effective domestically as well as on prospective enemies. German generals were concerned that

Hitler was moving too fast and exceeding the capability of the Germans to equip the army

adequately. The 1939 treaty with Russia gave the Germans time and isolated Poland. Hitler

wanted to attack the West immediately, but the Generals managed to get a postponement on the

grounds that the army could not be effective in a winter campaign. When the invasion came

through the Ardennes by won Manstein's plans, it was a masterful effort beautifully and

vigorously executed. Mobility in warfare finally triumphed with massive force. For the British,

Dunkirk was the result; for the French, attack and final defeat. (The original goal!)

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Critical point is the psychological factor, "what the other

fellow thinks". Effectiveness (technical) and probability (psychological and political factors) not

so readily calculated. Older examples of deterrence: Romans if you want peace, prepare for war.

Psychological threats of death, for instance, can be very effective. e.g. Knowledge that entire

populations could be put to the sword. Later economic as well as military considerations were

major items. Nuclear fission changed all this, especially as more effective means of delivery

were developed. Deterrence, originally unilateral (U.S.) is now bilateral as exists between the

U.S. and Russia. There were some problems with a bomber-delivery system. A "fail-safe"

system was invented. Rocket use was improved (solid fuel) to allow faster use. Submarine

ballistic missiles provide almost invulnerable launch sites. The blanche of deterrence must be

stable, no great desire for first strike, no hair triggers - no worry about precise numbers of

weapons. Satellite observations very helpful. There is dancer in great increase in numbers or

technical expertise, one country over another. Parity efforts are worthwhile.

background of nuclear balance. "Nucs" provided an increditable factor of increase in war-making

potential. Once a country reaches a level of "many" nuclear weapons there is little difference in

war capability, no matter that there might be a substantial multiplier, one country vis-a-vis

another. Little defence available. The U.S. might have used nuclear weapons after W.W. II but

chose not to. But not any more as nucs are so widely held. Inter-continental aircraft vulnerable to

surface air missiles. Rocketry has expanded from relatively ineffective weapons to very reliable

ones, particularly solid fuel ones. The Russians have many intermediate range missiles and much

civil defence training. There is now a very stable balance of nuclear weapons. Strategic weapons

systems, three offensive and four defensive. The later includes both land and sea launched

missiles. Comments on various components of offensive/defensive systems. Note that looking at

numbers alone can end in a sort of dead-end argument. The SALT agreements are now

suspect.Questions:MIRVS. U.S. guidance system is of high quality. Lack of civil defence effort

is psychological, not financial. Neither side has an effective first strike capability. i.e. disarm

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Anti-submarine warfare: The destruction of the enemy in order

to achieve command of the sea. Comment on early German efforts in W.W. II. Small submarines

but a huge number of escorts required to combat them. Long range air cover, wide-spread

warfare. Convoy system forced the submarines to concentrate - a war of attrition. Eventually the

anti-submarine groups went on the offensive with great effect. Radar possibly the major

technical innovation and the most effective. Many weapons, new submarines. Presently there are

large numbers of submarines in the world, particularly Russian with many modern boats.

Nuclear submarines are revolutionary and many cannot be caught by surface ships. Wireless

communications through satellites. Comments on helicopters, passive towed arrays, torpedoes,

integrated command and control systems, intelligence, evolving strategy. Sonar - weather and

water conditions. More difficult in the North Atlantic. American aircraft carriers require large

ASW assets. Perhaps not sufficient A/S ships at present. Training is expensive, important and

difficult to do. This has an adverse effect on training. Complacency is a real danger, as evidenced

by the Royal Navy between the wars. This can also be a public attitude as well. Comments on

budget restraints and effect on defence, the greatest flexible budgetary item. At present the ASW

significant military power among the medium sized nations. A useful job. We first became

involved in Africa and the West Indies. Also a certain frustration began with the United Nations.

Changes in politics in Eastern Europe. Our involvement in Latin America has been small. Under

Trudeau some shifting in emphasis began. Internal and external environments are challenging

policy objectives. These include sovereignty, trade, monetary situations, freedom, social justice,

democracy, etc., all affect foreign policy. External affairs can enhance our sense of country. Our

Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1NATO as defined by the free world. Note that international

affairs can result in a mental weariness in those who are committed to it. Human behavior is slow

to change. Patience is vital. NATO is only a military organization not held in high esteem by the

public - they are weary of militarism. NATO is, however, a necessary military alliance. It must

protect against the threat of Russian expansion which has been active in Europe and the

Mediterranean. Canada and others must involve themselves in international affairs, but wisely.

The moral charge obtained as a result of peace-keeping is not enough, in practical terms only a

short term solution. Bilateral agreements are necessary for Russia, which is, in fact, spending

vast sums on armaments. Russia will still go on pushing political expansion. Soviet policy

regarding China and some others is a mass of contradictions. Believes that politicians are

perhaps too conscious of public or media opinions. This hampers negotiations. NATO is crucial

to our survival. Questions:It is necessary for Canada to be part of NATO. It is possible that war

might be fought over Canada (air).

were or were not effectively used. Air groups. Radar. German deliberations. Overseas economic

dependence seen as a British weakness. Hitler was receptive to peace feelers in mid-1940.

German military thought regarding the invasion of Britain. Command of the air considered vital.

Main effort: attack the enemy air force. Thus a clear priority of targets beginning August 5,

1940. Britain had to use many novice pilots. Heavy losses and signs of strain became obvious. In

September the Germans attacked London instead of air force targets. The German estimate of

R.A.F. strength was incorrect. Partly due to a change in the weather the Germans were unable to

keep up the pressure. Also the distance and time required to reach London had increased thus

allowing more British response time. Hitler finally decided that control of the air was not

probable. Many factors contributed to this stand-off condition. Mason feels that Hitler had wrong

strategic and tactical ideas. There were many staff errors that contributed to this.Questions:

409 Mazari, Prof. Univ. of B.C. Lecture: "Strategy in the nuclear age"

Interviewer: none



Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Comments on the 1957 balance of power, security as between

the U.S. and Russia. NATO security rests on the U.S. and Britain with the smaller powers being

consumers of security. After 1958, when the U.S. became vulnerable to Russian attack, Europe

became more important to the U.S. This resulted in a decline of cohesiveness in NATO. Great

missile expansion, Polaris, Minute Man, etc. Both Russia and the U.S. felt that they had "assured

destruction capability" (1962/3). A crucial point since there was no winning solution. The second

strike capability keeps both fairly safe. War is a suicidal scenario for a rational leader. How to

deal with this problem is difficult, banning the bomb is impossible unilaterally. Nuclear weapons

are very difficult to use politically. Numerous examples exist. Thus only limited conventional

wars are really possible. Korea was the first example of this in the Nuclear age. Similarly the

threat of nuclear war is not viable - psychological limitations. The threat is only of use in

neutralizing all-out war. The threat to use nuclear weapons lacks creditability unless the stakes

are extremely high. Survival of the state for example. The status quo has been maintained by the

existence of nuclear weapons. Military action is more than ever an instrument of diplomacy and

therefore completely under the control of politicians.Questions:

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 2Stevens and Bennett were both back-benchers in parliament.

Bennett arrogant, ambitious, dogmatic, competent, self-sufficient. Stevens was a great supporter

of Bennett and eventually appointed to the Cabinet. They had serious disagreements and

eventually parted ways. Stevens fought big business and was constantly under attack. Pressure

applied to the Cabinet and Stevens finally resigned, but still held his seat. Finally he established

the Reconstruction Party but was only able to elect one M.P., Stevens. The C.C.F. and the Social

Credit Parties were able to elect a few opposition members. The Conservative Party would have

supported Stevens against Bennett but Stevens would not consider opposing Bennett from

within. Secondly, a National Party was proposed, well funded, but Stevens felt that he would be

a mouth-piece for his corporate supporters. This lack of trust may have been a mistake. Thirdly,

Stevens might have waited for Bennett to retired but Bennett fought Stevens and in the end

brought both himself and Stevens down. The Reconstruction Party was the unfortunate result and

for the times made some sense. Didn't like big business or big government. Stevens ran an

almost evangelic campaign. The self-destruction of Stevens and Bennett left Mackenzie King to

pick up the pieces. Stevens was held responsible for the disaster to the Conservative Party. The

Reconstruction Party disappeared and at the age of 61 Stevens lost his seat in Parliament.

Rescue, special missions, clandestine operations, subversion, counter insurgency, psychological

activities, etc. One of the oldest tools of war. (Aside: "destructive impotence", a good phrase for

nuclear stand-off). Trans-national terrorism. The PLO is a good example and many others,

extending to pre-biblical times. Napoleon actually caused guerrilla warfare by mistreating

conquered populations. Conventional forces tended to ignore special operations troops. Example

in the American Civil War. Lessons learned soon forgotten. In W.W.II Britain found that it could

support resistance movements. Founded the S.O.E. Special U.S. units were formed in Europe

and the South Pacific. The U.S. Special Forces were used in Europe before 1950. The U.S. Air

Force had three units devoted to this work in Europe. Operated also in South-east Asia. Several

instances of use in Vietnam. Israeli operations; a classic operation at Entebbe in Africa. The U.S.

finally fully recognized the usefulness of special units - army, navy and air force - as national

Interviewer: none



Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1The move toward Integration began with the appointment of a

single Minister of National Defence (Broke Claxton). In 1950 a legal code was passed by

parliament, the National Defence Act, followed by basic Queen's Regulations. In 1959 Maritime

Headquarters was established and co-ordination of the services was carried out by the Chief of

Staffs Committee. When Paul Hellyer became Minister of National Defence the process

accelerated. In March 1964 the Government introduced a White Paper on Defence. It proposed

integration, the melding of the organizational structure of the three services and unification, one

common system of training, administration, and conditions of service. A Chief of Defence Staff

was appointed. An emotional period of reorganization began in August, 1964. Various

commands were established: Mobile. Maritime, Air Defence, Training, Transport, and Material

(by Jan. 1966). The Minister then ordered a quickening of the process. Two schools of thought

were current - evolutionary and revolutionary. That is, organize as you go or do it, then organize

later. During July and August 1966 submissions and remarks before a Parliamentary Committee

produced many emotional problems for the armed forces and produced nearly a complete new

slate of senior officers. Under the Canadian Forces Reorganization Act the three services ceased

to exist. Much work was required to make the Canadian Forces a meaningful organization. The

effects of Integration and Unification: a single planning staff, budget, and programs, etc.

Flexibility required to make it work. Trades and officer classifications changed. Integration has

now become evolutionary but time is required to stabilize the process. Another factor is the

Government holding down defence costs and inflation is a unknown factor, should allow 20-25%

of the budget for new equipment. Government policy difficult. NATO? U.S. - Canada

effective, especially of one is satisfied with human loss. Different forms of action - regular and

degrees of clandestine operations. The latter is fairly easy to do. Third world countries do this

internally, often with the use of their militias, few have an external capability. Political control is

vital. Note that cost was high in the bombing campaign against Germany. At present nuclear

deterrence is expensive and requires much human effort. Some wrong conclusions drawn as a

result of the bombing of Hiroshima. Korea pointed out the difficulty of conventional warfare in

mountainous country. Soviet capabilities vs. U.S. vulnerability. Some think it is possible to win a

nuclear war, many more do not, regardless of technical advances. Special circumstances can

foster conventional warfare with nuclear weapons acting as a stabilizer. Nuclear weapons can be,

in retrospect, a cheap defence for those who can manufacture them. Notes that "The man with a

21st) attempted to mutiny. For a short time the 239th Bn. refused to board the ship. Some public

opposition to the expedition, opposed the interference in the internal affairs of another country.

Some newspapers also opposed, including The Globe of Toronto. The Prime Minister was in

favor of continuing. Government was concerned by the influence of left-wing radicals who

opposed the intervention. Russian-speaking Canadian soldiers were discharged due to Bolshevik

tendencies among some. Active recruiting continued at the Willows in Victoria. The R.C.M.P.

contingent had adequate barracks outside Victoria. Much drill and caring for horses, and rigorous

training in the country-side. Afternoons were quiet, close to boredom, so "busy work and play"

was organized.Reel: 2, Side: 1Speed 3 3/4 ips, c. 40 minLecture: Siberian Intervention -

continuation.The Canadians were proud of themselves but somewhat bored in Vladivostok.

Hockey teams were organized. Troops told to avoid "certain pleasures" in town. Especially the

large "red-light" district, seemingly under the control of the Japanese. Inflation was growing

resulting in a strictly cash economy as far as the Canadians were concerned. Chinese collies

hired to carry the food supplies. Shops and distribution well handled by the Chinese. Good

military roads. Quoted letter from an English lady, tea for the sergeants. Church parade on

Sunday afternoon - not popular. Impact of foreign troops. The Japanese were the most efficient;

joined in Canadian sports. Surplus food given to refugee children. One Russian boy became the

"mascot" and returned to Canada with the troops to live with a Canadian family. The Canadians

were an independent body, not subject to foreign orders or committed to military action. More

protests by the Canadian public re: the involvement. Decision taken to withdraw as early as

December, 1918, to take effect in the Spring. Labor tension in Canada was a factor in with

drawing and releasing troops slated for Siberia. The reason for retaining troops in Siberia was a

fear of the Bolsheviks. Not considered valid by the Canadian public. First Canadians withdrawn

April 19, 1919. Churchill listed Russian successes, pressed for continued intervention and finally

asked for Canadian volunteers. Last Canadians left June 5, 1919.

Canadian phrase. Knew many influential people, including Americans. By inclination, basically

a Victorian. A spiritualist, especially in the period 1932-1939. Called up many British Liberal

politicians, especially on his 60th birthday. Liberal support in Quebec was always a factor in

King's politics. Mackenzie King was somewhat of a quiet but dedicated supporter of the British.

The official external relations of Canada, with Churchill and Roosevelt, were King's. Points out

that the friendship of Roosevelt and Churchill was lukewarm. Combined Chiefs of Staff set up in

Washington. Canadians not represented nor advised of its' establishment. This was deemed not to

be very polite and Canada continued to be ignored (Quebec Conference). King became a little

the C.P.R., a cable across the Pacific, a form of free trade, etc. Other conferences in 1894, 1897,

and in 1907. Recommendations were made but could not issue orders. Anglo-German naval

rivalry. In 1909 there was pressure for on increased navy with some colonial responsibility, but

controlled by the Admiralty. Thus the Canadian Naval Act of 1910. Halifax and Esquimalt were

Dominions (including Newfoundland). Canada and South Africa of joint opinion. See "The

Round Table", an excellent quarterly on Commonwealth affairs. Canada not keen on being

drawn into military situations, the incident at Agadir for instance, being strictly Britain's affair.

established between Prime Ministers. He fought for revision of a centralized navy except for

control in war-time. Borden attacked the British mishandling of the British army in France and

the Canadian Corps in particular. He was well briefed and was particularly critical of the

Passchendaele battle. Borden was requested to return to England in 1918 as the end of the war

approached and immediately advised that Canada wanted full participation in the peace

negotiations. This caused a stir. Solution found by General Smuts who suggested a British

Empire delegation. French opposed to this, but finally agreed. Position of Canada re: League of

Reel: 7, Side 1Recommended books, published as late as 1968. The British government

controlled Canadian foreign policy - a British Empire policy until the end of the Great War

although administered by a Canadian department. Refers to the B.N.A. Act affecting treaties that

might be of interest to Canada. The methods by which ambassadors are appointed and received.

The Governal General originally represented the British Government as well as the Crown.

Colonial governors. The Canadian government was closely tied to British policy, at least until

1926, through the Governal General. This was a complex and laborious system insofar as foreign

consultation (and results) were to be obtained. The Canadian government could not negotiate

directly with foreign governments. The Canadian Prime Minister could be, and was, appointed to

British treaty negotiation committees where he was more a British negotiator than a Canadian

one. After 1879-80 Macdonald pushed for a more independent foreign policy and included a seat

in the British cabinet. Rejected since it was felt that such a member might disturb the governance

of the British Empires. Instead the term High Commissioner was advocated and would be a

person v. familiar with Canadian politics. Very capable men were appointed - Gault, Sir Charles

Tupper. Lord Strathcona (1896-1918) of great personal prestige. The High Commissioner

originally reported directly to the prime minister. Commissioner General appointed to Paris.

External Affairs became important through foreign trade although originally required to operate

through the British Government. In 1893 Sir Charles Tupper negotiated a treaty (with British

assistance) with France, signed in 1895. This was a first. The British Government then instructed

that the colonies could instigate treaty negotiations with the British Government leading.Reel: 7,

Side: 2, continuation.ca. 50 min.The Boer War and the Alaska Boundary discussions were the

cause of Canadian dissatisfaction, especially the latter and caused Laurier to virtually demand

more influence in treaty making (1902). Grey, the Government General felt that the system of

negotiating was very slow and awkward, especially with the U.S. A Royal Commission received

requests for an external affairs capability. Some of these requests became fact in due course. A

small External Affairs Department was finally initiated by Laurier (1908), placed before

Parliament in 1909 and approved in June. A Secretary of State for External Affairs if required.

This strengthened the position of the P.M. who could then have more influence over many

departments. For example, Department of Transport which subsequently controlled the radio and

telegraph systems. (Tape sound fades at ca. 35 min. and gradually returns.) First External Affairs

Office in Ottawa was over a barber shop eventually moving to the East Block (1914). With that,

the Foreign Consuls eventually began to appear in Ottawa.Questions.

was new enthusiasm for trade and pride in the expansion of the Empire. First Imperial

Conference, 1887 - Queen Victoria's Jubilee. Main topics were defence and communications.

Australia was nervous about German and U.S. expansion in the Pacific. The Canadian

government was concerned about the "All Red Route" to the Far East and Australia. Cable to

Australia and New Zealand first suggested. Later the self-governing colonies were considered. In

1897 all the colonies appeared for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The emphasis was on

the advancement of the colonial status, particularly in trade matters. Laurier's attitude: opposed

to tight trade ties with Britain. Canada needed to spend its' money internally not on Empire

projects. In 1902 there was more discussion of increased colonial input. Canada did not

contribute financially to Imperial Defence. In 1905 and 1907 Canada was more friendly and co-

operative. Officially the word "Dominion" came into use. Conference decided to strengthen local

autonomy. Some suggested that India should be included. Defence conference held in 1909 with

better co-operation by Canada. Britain approved of "local" Dominion navies but Canada wanted

authority to use navy primarily in the defence of Canada. Naval bill of 1910 and Conference of

1911 was Laurier's last. Many questions of uniformity of laws and regulations were decided.

Canada and South Africa co-operated closely. Some pressure for a Commonwealth body. A

Committee of Commonwealth Defence was brought into being with flexible membership, some

permanent. Canada should be consulted, i.e. have a share in "High policy" prior to any military

matters including war. Imperial Defence policy. After 1911 Borden had different ideas and offers

he was in the "Domestic sphere". Became P.M. when Borden retired. Believed in the British

ethos but pressed for more independence although considered domestic questions of more

importance. By 1921 External Policies were attaining status particularly with Britain, the U.S.

and Japan. Britain was somewhat cool to Canadian involvement particularly with Japan. At a

conference in 1921 Borden still thought it should be considering Commonwealth policy.

Meighen thought it should be on naval policy and constitutional arguments. Many thought a

constitution was unnecessary as the unwritten one had served well, and this prevailed. The

British wanted to speak for everybody at the Washington Conference and this created a furore.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1In the introductory remarks Ait Vice Marshall Stevenson

relates some of the famous early flyers and senior Air Force officers known to him. In about

1910 the Canadian Government began to take an interest in flying. The Great War gave real

impetus to pilots and to aircraft. New facilities included the Curtis Flying School in Toronto and

other schools established by the Royal Flying Corps. After the war Britain gave Canada about

100 aircraft and much related equipment. As a result the Canadian Government established an

Air Board which organized the Air Force and other establishments. These included a government

air service, aeronautical engineering branch, controller of civil aviation, etc. In these efforts they

received much support from other departments which needed transportation, map production,

customs work, Indian Affairs, etc. The Air Force flying boats. Hudson's Bay expedition.

Anecdotes of Western and Northern flying. Mapping and photography were very important.

Describes a forestry station. Fire patrols. In 1930 the air station serviced some 500 fires, often

flying dawn to dusk. The photo detachment took about 100,000 photos and transferring the

information to maps. In many cases gasoline caches had to be established in the bush by human

carriers, a lengthy process. Questions:Primitive instrument flying. - Parachutes provided in 1925.

Tovell, Freeman M., Mr., Visiting Distinguished Scholar (Formerly Dept. of Ext. Affairs).Study

question: Pearson: Isolation can never be a principle of policy.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Canada gradually and radically changes its' foreign affairs -

began by differing from that of Great Britain. International recognition of Canada as an

independent country started. Turkish crisis in 1922 was first real break with British Policy. The

Canadian Parliament was to decide, not to be an automatic follower. First treaty signed by

Canada was the Halibut Treaty with the U.S. Next, the Locarno Treaty 1925, that specified that

the Dominions were not necessarily involved with all terms. The Balfour Declaration 1926,

produced equality of the Dominions within the British Empire. In 1927 the Governor General

ceased to be the representative of the British Government. Replaced by a high Commissioner.

Treaties with the U.S. In 1939 Sept. 10, Canada declared war on Germany, a week after Britain.

This was recognized by the U.S. by including Canada in their Neutrality Act. Mackenzie King

the real author of our Foreign Policy, governed somewhat an isolationist tendency of the

Canadian public. King was probably pro-British but certainly not a blind follower. He distrusted

European countries. Support of the League of Nations in the 1930's not particularly strong. The

areas not well-covered included Ethiopia and Adolf Hitler whom King badly misjudged. King

worried about rearmament by "Doubtful nations" and began a modest rearmament plan. In the

post-war period we were a "Middle power". In 1946-1957 "The Golden Age of Canadian

Diplomacy", Canada was an active participant in world affairs. Priorities were: No. 1. Active

involvment in a safe and peaceful world, No. 2. Full support for the U.S., No. 3. Major

contribution to Economic Recovery in Europe, No. 4. Support of Commonwealth, No. 5.

Program of technical assistance to less developed countries. Beginning of NATO, 1949. Policy

carried on by St. Laurent. NATO was not just a military alliance it was a concept of an Atlantic

community. Canada supported the U.S. through the Korean war. The Suez crisis brought about

an Emergency Peace-keeping Force, originally proposed by Pearson. Canada played a middle-

man role in this crisis, between U.S. and Britain. Also involved when many former British

colonies wished to become republics but also members of the Commonwealth. Canadians

generally in support of Canadian Foreign Policy. Our country had a high reputation

abroad.Questions.

Tovell, Freeman M., Mr., Visiting Distinguished Scholar (Formerly Dept. of Ext. Affairs)

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 2Lists recommended reading. Covers ground after 1957. Canada

played a role far beyond its stature on the world scene. NATO, Peace-keeping, United Nations,

Commonwealth, and capital development programs. Public opinion driven. Conservatives came

to power in 1957. Fundamental agreement on the basics of foreign affairs with several

conservative aspects. Disarmament was a favorite with Howard Green (the Minister).

Consultation in NATO was of great importance - several examples. The Commonwealth,

considerable changes undertaken - Defence - NORAD was a difficult undertaking politically.

Acquisition of weaponry - Bomarc, the Arrow which was suitable for North American defence

but not widely adaptable. Nuclear weapons, for Bomarc - for aircraft - the army and caused

emotional problems as well as political ones - a growing split in the Cabinet for one. Problem

climaxed with the Cuban missile Crisis in the early 1960's. Diefenbaker was annoyed that he was

not fully informed regarding NORAD. Pearson period not covered here to any extent. Trudeau

had an academic interest in Foreign Affairs amid much dissension. A full review was required.

Trudeau thought that foreign policy did not come to terms with domestic needs. Too slow in

coming to terms with changes in the world. It lacked a proper national foundation to reconcile

our competing internal ideas. What about new world countries. Also growing aspirations of

Canadian provinces? Foreign policy booklets were produced to educate the Canadian public.

Priorities: No. 1. Fostering economic growth, develop our international trade, No. 2. Safeguard

Canadian sovereignty, territorial integrity and vital interests, No. 3. Working for peace and

security, peace-keeping, arms control, peace-keeping, No. 4. Promoting social justice, No. 5.

Enhancing the quality of life, social reforms, etc., No. 6. Harmonious natural environment,

pollution, etc. Pearson had different priorities. Did not hold economic growth as "Number One".

Trudeau forced a reduction of forces in NATO. Defence Department wanted to increase

European involvement but this was not done. Foreign aid increased. European Common Market

could cause Canada trouble in trade. Relations with the U.S.A. only touched upon.

influence, beyond our size and resources and it required some dedication to maintain our newly

won stature. This was willingly given. St. Laurant and Pearson in complete accord. Sketch of

their early lives. National unity must be reflected in foreign policy. Political liberty. Respect for

the rule of law, externally. Policy must acknowledge "human rights" Willingness to accept

international responsibilities. Collective security. Support the Commonwealth and offer technical

assistance - Columbo Plan the first. NATO, military commitment Canada and the U.N. with

Interviewer: none


Provenance: Reg Roy guest lectures series 26 November 1980, UVIC.

Restriction:none

Scope & Content: Reel: 1, Side: 1Political terrorism is a violent process: premeditated criminal

technics for political ends. Mentions several causes, most likely where alienation of persons

occur and where the culture is violent - minimal social controls, existence of "no go" zones, etc.

The attitudes of people must be changed. Propaganda used to raise support and to decrease

support for the government. Methods: political, psychological, tactics. Carefully organized

attacks. Create uneasiness. Terrorists: no moral restrictions. Organization usually in the form of

3-5 person cells. They may have a legal support group of some sort. Governments may support

terrorist groups for their own ends. Leadership: both military and political leaders. Infrastructure

to infiltrate and socially spread downward. Properly organized (poses the most important factor)

it can be very effective. Others: supplies, safe housing, recruiting, intelligence, plans, etc. Plans

approved by a central committee. Internal security carefully screens recruits. Possible support of

local politicians. Immigrants useful. Tactical efficiency may be of a high order, perhaps even

better than counter terrorism efforts. Economic influence can be large, airlines blackmailed, etc.

Highly technical civilization makes things easy for terrorism efforts. Economic influence can be

large, airlines blackmailed, etc. Highly technical civilization makes things easy for terrorist

organizations, travel, communication, wide-open television, newspapers, etc. Sophisticated arms.

The future holds more of the same. Regrets that no time for discussion of government responses:

short of time.Questions:Urban guerrillas, not guerrillas really but terrorists. Some of the New

Left - the process is the thing, winning is not important in some cases. e.g. the Bader? Meinhof

gang in Germany.

426 Weeks, Berry, Ph.D., Vancouver City College Lecture: Reforms in the British Army after

the Crimean War.

Interviewer: none



Restriction:none

Sound somewhat muffled.

Scope & Content: Reel: 1 Side: 1Reforms came from failure not success and many reforms were

small. British superiority and conservatism hindered the recognition of the need for reform.

Crimea was a failure of supply and organization. The command system was very cumbersome

with several semi independent bureaucracies. On top of that the purchase of commissions was

common which often resulted in rank without experience or skill. Reorganization of the Royal

Military College and other institutions resulted in the first staff college 1860. The study of

military matters was encouraged, a novelty in the British army. The War Office was established

in the 1870's bringing the army under a more unified command. General Wolesely promoted

many reforms, often against considerable opposition. Terms of active service were reduced and

an additional period of reserve service was established. Standards of enlistment were raised.

Discipline was made more practical. The army regimental system was modified. Home and

overseas units were reorganized, largely by connecting overseas with home units. Local brigade

recruiting was established and pay was increased. Uniforms improved. Weaponry improved

despite opposition, mostly due to misplaced satisfaction with existing equipment. Light Infantry

problems were addressed. The British Square remained popular until the end of the 19th century.

Slow to change were medical and hygiene problems. Opposition still flourished but there was an

intellectual awakening. In the Great War the Canadian Corps was a sterling example of a large

formation excellently organized (compared to some British organizations with vestiges of

regimental organization still haunting their commanders).
