The United Nations General
Assembly opened last Wednesday
in New York amidst growing
concern that the Strategic Arms
Limitation (SALT) agreement
which expires on October 3 has not
been renegotiated.

The U.S. has refused to sign a
new agreement with the Soviet
Union limiting the ee

to the Soviet Union that both
countries agree informally to
carry on as if the terms of the old
agreement still existed. However,
this arrangement leaves the door
wide open for the Pentagon to
bring new weapons systems into
production.

On the eve of the opening of the
UN General Assembly, Kurt
Waldheim, UN general-secretary
told a press conference that the
conclusion of a new SALT
agreement would be an important
step toward disarmament. He said
he was convinced as a result of
a recent meeting with Soviet
president Leonid Brezhnev that the

In conjunction with preparations

Special Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGO) committee
of the UN has decided to convene
an international conference of
world peace bodies, in Palais des
Nations, Geneva, on February 27 to
March 2, 1978.

Last week the Vancouver branch
of the United Nations Association
announced that two important
events are planned to mark United

“The Christian Responsibility for
Peace.”

On Monday, October 24 a special
ceremony will be held at Van-
couver city hall at 4 p.m. which will
be addressed by Dr. Potter and at
which Mayor Jack Volrich will
read a proclamation marking UN
Day.

Meanwhile, the Pacific Life
