At the 24th Congress of the Com-
munist Party of the Soviet Union last
March, Leonid Brezhnev, the CPSU
general secretary, presented six points
of the Soviet program for world peace.
Endorsed. by the Congress, this policy
guides the government of the USSR in
its foreign affairs. The six points,
which brought up to date for the 1970's
the work of the Soviet Union for peace
since its formation, are here repeated
in abridged form:

@ First, to eliminate the hotbeds of
war in Southeast Asia and in the Mid-
dle East and to promote a political set-
tlement in these areas on the basis of
respect for the legitimate rights of
states and people subjected to aggres-
sion.

To give an immediate and firm rebuff
to any acts of aggression and interna-
tional arbitrariness, making full use of
the United Nations.

Secondly, to proceed from the final
recognition of the territorial changes
that took place in Europe as a result
of the Second World War. To do every-
thing to ensure collective security in
Europe. We reaffirm the readiness ex-
pressed jointly by the member coun-
tries of the defensive Warsaw Treaty
to have a simultaneous annulment of
this treaty and of the North Atlantic
Alliance or—as a first step—to dis-
mantle their military organizations.

Thirdly, to conclude treaties put-
ting a ban on nuclear, chemical and

Fosheim Peninsula, King Christian Is-
land, Ellef Ringnes Island, Inuvik, Tuk-
toyaktuk, San Sault, Norman Wells,
Yellowknife, Hay River, Rainbow City,
Fort McMurray, Tar Island and Edmon-
ton, to return to Calgary on Oct. 22.

The groups will be in Ottawa for
final meetings on Oct. 24 and 25 before
returning to Moscow.

Purpose of the meetings will be to
discuss the exchange of information on
oil and gas technology between the
two countries. The Soviet visitors will
see at first hand what Canada is doing
in remote areas and the Canadian
group will make a similar visit to the
Soviet Union next year.

Working groups for forest-based in-
dustries and the electrical power in-
dustry have previously visited Canada.
Under terms of the agreement on Co-
operation in science and technology,
all six working groups will hold joint
meetings in Canada or the Soviet Union
before the next meeting of the Mixed

Commission, which will be held in
Canada in 1972. :

- For peace on eart

bacteriological weapons. To work for
an end to the testing of nuclear wea-
pons, including underground tests, by
everyone and everywhere.

We stand for the nuclear disarma-
ment of all states in possession of nu-
clear weapons, and for the convocation
for these purposes of a conference of
the five nuclear powers —the USSR,
the USA, the People’s Republic of
China, France and Britain.

® Fourth, to invigorate the struggle
to halt the race in all types of wea-
pons. We favor the convocation of a
world conference to consider disarma-
ment questions to their full extent. We
stand for the dismantling of foreign
military bases. The Soviet Union is
prepared to negotiate agreements on
reducing military expenditures, above
all by the major powers.

@ Fifth, the UN decisions on the
abolition of the-remaining colonial re-
gimes must be fully carried out. Mani-
festations of racism and apartheid must
be universally condemned and boycot-
ted.

‘@ Sixth, the Soviet Union is prepared
to participate together with the other
states concerned in settling problems
like the preservation of the environ-
ment, development of power and other
natural resources, development of
transport and communications, preven-
tion and eradication of diseases, and
the exploration and development of
out space and the world ocean.

Their capital
is Moscow...

Moscow, the capital of the USSR
has a territory of 88,600 hectares and
a population of 6,500,000. It has more
than 1,700 industrial enterprises repre-
senting 20 industries and the coun-
try’s largest scientific institutions —
the USSR Academy of Sciences, the

Academies of Educational and Medical
Sciences and 76 higher educational
establishments,

Moscow has 4,000 libraries. The
largest of them is the Lenin State Lib-
rary with 25 million volumes. The
Soviet capital boasts 60 museums, 26
theatres, 10 concert halls, 110 cinemas,
340 clubs and palaces of culture, and
5 film studios. The largest radio and
television stations of the Soviet Union
have their headquarters here.

The amount of greenery per every
resident of the city is among the larg-
est in world capitals. Within Moscow
are 110 parks, 600 boulevards and pub-
lic gardens.

_Moscow is being reconstructed at a
high rate. The master plan for the de-
velopment of Moscow envisages what
is in fact another city like the present,
with a total of 50 million square
metres of housing to be built. The
length of Metro (subway) lines in Mos-
cow will increase from the present 130
kilometres to 320 kilometres.
