A Christmas Day delegation No A-warheads on Canadian soil’| Montreal students tell Ottawa OTTAWA—Students from three Montreal universities drove to Ottawa on a cold Christmas morning to ask their government to renounce its policy of arming Bomarc missiles on Canadian soil with nuclear warheads. - The 80 students carried a petition signed by 1,100 on the campuses of McGill, and the University of Montreal. It read: “We the undersigned mem- bers of the faculty and student body of McGill University, consider it our duty to empha- size the continuing and in- creasing danger of nuclear _ «war. Such war would cause’ im- measurable suffering and. de- stroy the present basis of civil- ization. The major powers are now involved in an armaments race, despite the proved tend- ency of such competition to provoke rather than . prevent conflict. 'To maintain a balance of power, east and west threat- en each other with instant re- taliation, risking the fearful danger of accidental war.

We believe that the achieve- ment of even. these’ limited goals- will put .a check to the increasing danger of world war, and will at the same time contitute a first step towards disarmament in which lies our only hope for humanity in this nuclear age.” The students went first to the National War Memorial, where they knelt in prayer and then laid a wreath on which were written the words: “In remembrance of those who sacrificed their life that we might live, we solemnly declare, we will not rest until “Everything in Flowers” FROM EARL SYKES 56 E.

The “Joint Committee of Universities for nuclear — dis- armament’ intends to. carry on action and extend its organ- ization to-as many other uni- versities as possible. The com- mittee was formed following a demonstration of students of Sir George Williams College on United Nations Day against nuclear experiments. The ini- tiative of the group was ‘influ- enced by the film “The March to Aldermaston.” It is to be regretted that this excellent demonstration by the Montreal student movement re- ceived insufficient support. The students appealed to the Cath- olic Syndicates, the CCF and others to obtain cars but all too few responded to the appeal. The CCF, after having pro- mised five automobiles and a lond speaker system, in the end furnished nothing. OVALTINE CAFE 251 EAST HASTINGS ‘Vancouver, B.C.
