SIGN WORLD

PEACE APPEAL

More than 655 million ‘people have now signed the World Appeal against Preparations for Atomic War,

demand

ing the destrucion of all stocks of atomic weapons and the immediate stopping of their manufacture.

The World Council. of Peace announced from Vienna that the exact world signature total is 655,963,811,

hi h is . . . . . .
— ‘ Canada the total is 100,000 signatures and, in British Columbia, it is 44,973.

173 million more signatures than were collected to the historic Stockholm Appeal in 1950.

While the campaign is
practically at an end in coun-
tries like Japan, China, the
Soviet Urfion and the Peo-
ples’ Democracies, it is still
in full swing in most other
countries, particularly Italy,
France, ‘India and Brazil,
“where millions more signa-
tures can be collected,’’ stat-

ed the World Council.

In Canada the campaign is to
be intensified.

“The fact that 100,000 Cana-
dians have endorsed the appeal,
circulated by a small number of
canvassers, is eloquent of Can-
adian opinion on this matter (of
banning ‘atomic weapons),”° says
a statement’ issued by Canadian
Peace Congress. “This opinion
needs greater channels of expres-

sion. We therefore appeal for

many more volunteers to join in
actively collecting signa-
tures to the Appeal. Such work
is a good way to defend our coun-
try from catastrophe and to en-
courage the diplomats to work
out acceptable solutions.”

Two mass canvasses have been
organized for Vancouver by B.C.
