Republic The announcement of the coup d’etate sought to head off any popular opposition to the military dictatorship by pleading for calm- and order and warning citizens “against being tricked into vio- lence by Communist agitators.” The military takeover came at a time when, after 30 years of Trujillo fascism, there were signs that a democratic breakthrough might have been forming. U.S. ‘intervention’ hit Canadian Labor | Congress president Claude Jodoin has ad- CLAUDE JODOIN ' trusteeship has vised international unions in the United States not to intervene in the affairs of Canada’s mari- time industry. U.S, international unions have been urging the CLC to fight against the proposed government trusteeship in the industry—as has the labor movement in B.C., although for widely different rea- sons. In a telegram Monday, Jodoin told the American unions; ‘‘Inter- vention by you in a Canadian legislative field would be most ill-advised and would cause wide-' spread resentment among Can- adian people.”? He followed the wire by a trip to Washington. The question of government very clearly served to highlight the burning need for Canadian trade union autonomy. "FAVORABLE WIND’ CITED — Peaceful coexistence one hope, Addressing the opening scs- sion of the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly, Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyko last week stres- sed the policy of peaceful co- existence as the only one holding any hope for the safety and future of the human race and pledged that the USSR, which has pursued this policy from its very inception, would continue to do so. He told the 18th Assembly otf the UN that a ‘‘favor'able wind” for peace had been developed by events of the last period. He singled out the peaceful resolu- tion of the Caribbean crisis of October, 1962. and tha Vectod nuclear test ban treaty of Mos- cow as two of fii@ tics. wey eat ant events raising the hopes of all mankind for the possibility of achieving peaceful coexistence. Gromyko’'s speechmade it clear that the Soviet Union would uti- lize every avenue possible to les- sen international tensions and promote amicable relations be- tween the countries of the capi- talistic world and those of the socialist, with the ultimate aim that of creating a condition of peaceful coexisence as the guar- antee of world peace. The Soviet Foreign Minister proposed a summit meeting of the 18 nations designated by the UN to formulate a world program for general and complete dis- armament. (One of these nations is Canada). He called for a non-aggression pact between the NATO coun- tries and Warsaw Pact nations. He urged measures to make sur- prise attacks impossible. He pro- posed agreement between the U.S. and USSR to ban: nuclear weapons in outer space. says USSR He sought a peace treaty with the two Germanys that would conforin with the — realitic. of present-day europe. He asked for a stepped-up struggle to end colonialism. Gromyko warned that one of the greatest obstacles to the achievement of any of the pro- posals for peace was the present regime in West Germany. He charged that these neo-Nazis, monopolisis and other -sevenge- seekers were seeking by threats, blackmail and every devious method possible to black any ef- fort to halt the cold war. ANDREI GROMYKO He also made it clear that he sincere effors of the Soviet Union to create an atmosphere of peace- ful coexistence did not mean that it would permit the imperialists to run roughshod over any other country. He vowed all of the USSR’s re- sources te defend any nation against encroachment or aggres- sion.
