Coup in Dominican

tinued Dominican adherence to
“international commitments” —
a diplomatic phrase advising
Uncle Sam and U.S. imperialism

that they had nothing to fear’

from the coup.

Following up the outlawing of
the Communist Party, police im-
mediately threw up a_ cordon
around the headquarters of the
patriotic 14th of June political

party.

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.

Malaysia protests continue

Indonesia moved troops to the
borders of Sarawak and North
Borneo last Wednesday and cut
communication links with the
federation of Malaysia.

The twin moves were the latest
Indonesian protest against the
formation of the federation, which
it recognizes as a_ transparent
attempt by British imperialism
to prolong its colonial empire in
that sector of he world.

The latest protest action by the

government of President Sukarno
was accompanied by press re-

ports that British military of
ficers were claiming villages in

Sarawak were being fired upon
by Indonesian morters.

The Australian Tory govern-
ment of Robert Menzies immedi-
ately rushed to the aid of British
colonialists by proclaiming that
Australia had defence commit-
ments with Malaysia.

He told Parliament that these
commitments included military
aid, as well as a pledge to help
resist ‘‘subversive activities’’ in
the abortive federation.

The people of Malaysia have
never been given a choice of
whether or not they wished to
join the federation.
