are on the side of the heroic
fighters for the just cause of the
peoples of Indochina.

Delegations of the Arab peo-
ples are announced and the hall
of the Palance of Congresses
shakes with vigorous applause. .

. . . And again visions of the
events of the recent past come
to one’s mind. The front was
quite near Cairo in June 1967.
The socialist countries had said
their weighty word. The Israeli
agpressors’ machine had slowed
down. But the Tel-Aviv extrem-
ists did not want to go away
from occupied Arab lands. The
Soviet Union helped. And now,
as before, the Soviet people side
with the Arab peoples in their
just cause of the struggle for the
liquidation of the aftermath of
the Israeli aggression.

“The delegation of the Polish
sist The
delegation of the French Com-
munist Party! ... The delegation
of the Liberation Front of Moz-
ambique!” More and more par-
ties are named and the names
of more and more guests are an-

nounced. Different countries.
Different destinies. Different
stages of the struggle. The

Kremlin Palace*ha’ “becodmé ‘a
place where representatives of
the three streams of the world
liberation movement — social-
ism, international working-class
movement, and _ national-libera-
tion struggle — have come to-
gether for a firm handshake.

In his, report Leonid Brezhnev,
general secretary of the CPSU
Central Committee, reviewed
and analyzed in great detail the
path traversed by the Soviet
Communists and all the peoples
of the Soviet Union in the five

years since the 23rd CPSU Con- ,

gress. In their speeches and de-
bates delegates added to this
picture of extensive creative
work. It is noteworthy that for-
eign delegates listened to the
part of the report dealing with
questions of the internal devel-
opment of Soviet society no less
attentively than to the part cov-
ering the international situation.

“The resolutions of CPSU
congresses play an important
role in the life of the Soviet peo-
ple inasmuch as they outline
further measures towards the
implementation of the magnifi-
cent task of the construction of
communist society in the
USSR,” the Indian weekly New
Age pointed out recently. “Their
resolutions exert a profound in-
fluence on the development of
the world. The Soviet people’s
deeds and plans are an impor-
tant part of the common interna-
tional cause, a decisive sector of
the historic struggle of the for-
ces of social revolutionary pro-
cess.”

Program for
presented by

MOSCOW — Leonid Brezhnev,
the general secretary of the Central
Committee of the CPSU; speaking
at the 24th Party Congress in the
Kremlin, outlined the six principal
concrete tasks in the field of inter-
national relations and world peace.

'First,'' he said, ‘'to eliminate the
hotbeds of war in Southeast Asia
and in the Middle East and to pro-
mote a political settlement in these
areas on the basis of respect for the
legitimate rights of states and peo-
ples subjected to aggression.

"To give an immediate and firm
rebuff to any acts of aggression and
international arbitrariness. For this,
full use must also be made of the
possibilities of the United Nations.

"'Repudiation of the threat or use
of force in settling outstanding is-
‘ sues must become a law of interna-
tional lite. For its part, the Soviet
Union suggests that the countries
which accept this approach should
conclude appropriate bilateral or
regional treaties."

"Secondly,"" he continued, ‘'to
proceed from the final recognition
of the territorial changes that took
place in Europe as a result of the
Second World War. To bring about
a radical turn towards a detente
and peace on this continent. To en-
sure the convocation and success of
an all-European conference.

''To do everything to ensure col-
lective security in Europe. We
reaffirm the readiness expressed
jointly by the member countries of
the defensive Warsaw Treaty. to
have a simultaneous annulment of
this treaty and of the North At-
lantic Alliance or—as a first step—
to dismantle their military organ-
izations."

"Thirdly,"' he proposed, “to con-
clude treaties putting a ban on nuc-
lear, chemical and bacteriological
weapons.

"To work for an end to the test-
ing of nuclear weapons, including
underground tests, by everyone and
everywhere.

- People's Republic of China, France

world peace
L. Brezhnev

"To promote the establishment of
nuclear-free zones in various parts
of the world.

"We stand for the nuclear dis-
armament of all states in possession
of nuclear weapons, and for the con-
vocation for these purposes of a
conterence of the five nuclear

powers—the USSR, the USA, the

and Britain."

"Fourth," he said, "'to invigorate
the struggle to halt the race in all
types of weapons. We favor the
convocation of a world conference
to consider disarmament questions
to their full extent.

"We stand for the dismantling of
toreign military bases. We stand for
a reduction of armed forces and
armaments in areas where the mili-
tary confrontation is especially dan-
gerous, above all in Central Europe.

"We consider it advisable to work
out measures reducing the probabil-
ity of accidental outbreak or delib-
erate fabrication of armed _ inci-
dents and their development into
international crises, into war.

"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
regimes must be fully carried out.
Manifestations of racism and apar-
theid must be universally condemn-
ed and boycotted.

"Sixth, the Soviet Union is pre-—
pared to deepen relations of mu-
tually advantageous co-operation in
every sphere with states which for
their part seek to do so. Our coun-
try is prepared to participate to-
gether with the other states con-
cerned in settling problems like the
preservation of the environment,
development of power and other
natural resources, development of
transport and communications, pre-
vention and eradication of diseases,
and the exploration and develop-
ment of outer space and the world

Soviet press, radio

interview

MOSCOW—It is trite but true
to say that the eyes of the world
are focussed on the forum of

Soviet Communists, the 24th
Congress of the CPSU, now tak-
ing place at the Kremlin Palace
of Congresses here.

Participating in the work of
the congress are leaders of Com-
munist and workers parties’
from five continents. Up to the
very eve of the parley delega-
tions were ‘arriving. from the
four corners of the globe.

Dmitry Polyansky was at the
airport, to greet the Canadian
Communist delegation consist-
ing of William Kashtan, general
secretary of the CPC; Sam
Walsh, president of the Parti
Communiste du Quebec; and

Kashtan

Nigel Morgan, Party leader in
British Columbia.

‘Kashtan has been interviewed
by the Soviet press, and the
members of the Canadian dele-
gation give their impressions of

the Congress sessions in daily
talks to Moscow Radio news-
men which are broadcast on the
North American service.
Before the Congress opened
the streets of Moscow blossom-
ed with posters, signs and flags,
giving the city a holiday air.
The Congress discussion ex-
‘presses the thoughts and aspira-
tions of the Soviet people. The
decisions adopted will determine
the nature of the development
of the entire country, its home
and foreign policy, its economic

and cultural advances. ;

Participation in the work of
the Congress by representatives
of Communist, workers and left
socialist parties from scores of
countries demonstrates the great
international importance of this
forum. The programs which will
be adopted will have far-reach-
ing effects, and that is why the
eyes of the world are focussed
on Moscow. :
