Peace body urges UN expulsion of Israel Special to the Tribune BONN — The Soviet Union’s peace initiative reached one of its highest points ever, in the signing here of major agreements by Leonid Brezhnev, general sec- retary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and Willi Brandt, chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. “Broadly speaking,” Brezhnev said, “one can say that our planet today is closer than ever before to a condition of lasting peace. The Soviet Union,” he added, “will exert all its influence .. . to promote this trend.” Among achievements of the exchange were the signing of an Agreement on the Development of Economic, Industrial and Technical Cooperation; an Agreement CELSINKI—The World Peace ‘i ong condemning _Israel’s eee of world public opin- He has called upon the United athe Security Council to use pulsi 1ons and if necessary, ex- violate” if Israel continues to as € UN and Security Council Solutions, sae the WPC headquarters a Inland, General Secretary the €sh Chandra reported on World body’s presidential aed decision in Warsaw, stiff In the month, to request _ “ier UN action. i: Bee Israeli Government stand World, in open defiance of Public opinion, and the e resolutions,” the Congress “to 8ed.

The protest movement has also spread to other Metro bor- A number of students and teachers have walked out at Toronto’s Central High School of Commerce, and 60 of 106 teachers at North York’s Earl Haig Collegiate reported “sick” on May 17. Scarborough trustees, the neanderthals among Metro’s five elected. school boards, were treated to a deservedly empty house by protesting teachers the After one year of bitter strike against Dare Cookies Ltd., the members of the United Brewery Workers, Local 173, in Kitchener are planning a mass demonstration to save their - jobs. The organizers of the demonstration are hoping that up to 10,000 trade unionists and other sympathetic supporters will be in Kitchener on May 26 at 1:00 p.m. for a march from Victoria Park to the Kitchener City Hall. The call for support has gone out to all affiliated unions of the Ontario Federa- tion of Labor and to the district labor councils. Trade unionists in many municipalities have organized car and bus convoys for the date of the demonstration and fin- ancial support has been coming in from a large number of locals throughout the province. The Metro Toronto Committee of the Communist Party of Canada is organizing a car cavalcade. All those interested are urged to attend. Assembly point for the car cavalcade will be 24 Cecil St. at 10:00 a.m. May 26. The demonstration is important for all trade unionists in Ontario because it will be an attempt to stave off a drive by management and government to de-certify the local. The de- certification move comes almost one year after the strike began and according to the Ontario Labor Relations Act, all those now working in the plant, including the scabs that on Cultural Cooperation; and the additional Protocol to the Agreement on Air Communica- tion. During his stay, Soviet party leader Brezhnev met with a group of the FRG’s leading in- dustrialists, including the direc- tors of the biggest West Ger- man companies: Mannesmann, Thyssen, Siemens, Daimler- Benz, Ruhr-Gas, Salzgitter, Korf and others.. To the question about their strongest impression of the talk, they answered that they had been struck by the scope of L. I. Brezhnev’s think- ing. They agreed with his assess- a ment that during the long years ei of the cold war too much time had been wasted. Now it was necessary to make up for the time lost. “Brezhnev is not only a man of word, but also a man of deed,” was one of the com- ments, . Leonid Brezhnev’s proposal to look 10 years ahead sounded at the meeting not simply as a promising prospect, but also as concrete evidence of the Soviet Union’s interest in a lasting and stable peace based on trust and cooperation. Widely known is the treaty already concluded on the deli- very of Soviet natural gas to the FRG in exchange for big-dia- meter pipes, It provides for the supply of 120,000 million cubic metres of gas within 20 years.

At the meeting in the 2,000- seat Cedarbrae collegiate audi- torium, the 12 trustees were met by 20 Scarborough teachers other 2,000 had boycotted the meeting. ; David Clark, president of the Scarborough Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, said that the main reason for the boy- cott was that the board had re- fused to give any consideration to teachers’ demands that the question of retaining the alrea- dy high pupil-teachers ratio be discussed. Clark charged that the board had “broken faith” with the teachers over the ratios.

Teachers claim the new ceilings will require them to teach an average of 32 pupils per class instead of 29.
