The Canadian Parliament will probably be called into session to approve Canada’s participation in the United Nations international police force designed to secure and police the cease-fire in Egypt, Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent announced last night following a Cabinet meeting.

Should Parliament fail to support the decision to supply Canadian troops for the police force, to be headed by Canadian Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, the Prime Minister stated, the government would resign.
