This is the fourteenth such pro- posal for banning atomic wea- pons proposed or supported by the USSR in the UN since Andrei Gromyko first presented official Seviet proposals in June, 1946. Other points of the Soviet peace plan call for one-third re- duction in armaments by the Big Five — USSR, US., Britain, France and China — dismantling of military bases in foreign coun- tries and condemnation of war propaganda. Quoting “‘military observers,’ .trade with China. Continued TRADE dwindled to almost nothing in the past three years. Here’s the story of our shrinking exports in $42,915,000 34,984,000 29,128,000 By Christmas thousands of unemployed loggers, millworkers and industrial workers ‘in B.C. will be asking the question: ‘‘Why don’t we keep our industries humming by doing business with 500 million potential customers in People’s China?” It’s a good question. The answer of course, is that the U.S. Battle Act restricts trade by forbidding all countries re- ceiving U.S. “aid” to sell ‘“strat- egic goods” to People’s China, while the United Nations resolu- tion of May, 1951, (rammed through the UN at the insistence of the U.S.) forbids the export of “strategic goods’ to China. Since the armistice in Korea, other countries are getting in on China’s trade boom, but Canada continues to meekly obey the dic- tates of the U-S., while an indus- trial crisis draws nearer and nearer. ~ Tronical is the fact that the -U.S. continued to buy large quan- tities of goods from China, even after Washington had clamped down on exports. In 1950-51-52 the U.S. imported $228,000,000 worth of goods from China — four times the amount of Britagn’s imports from China in the same period. In past years Canada always enjoyed a favorable balance of Developing trade relations today would prove mutually beneficial. China is in the market for machinery of every kind, elec- trical equipment, farm imple- ments, trucks, railroad equipment and lumber. All these things Canada is able to supply. An examination of the princi- pal commodities Canada exported to China in 1947, for example, shows that China trade would be of the type necessary to bolster those very industries here which face the most immediate crisis situation. That year China bought from Canada, among other things: Wheat flour Herring, dry salted _. Railroad ties Lumber Wood pulp _. Newsprint paper _.. Ships 1,450,952 A glance at this list shows that B.C. industry would benefit im- mediately by trade with China —and that such a step .would is indicated in recent despatches from Washington. " Minifie said the White House was he public aroused to the need of. defense.’ it would imply American authori- ty over these outposts.” The idea, it is evident in Mini- fie’s despatch, is to arouse public clamor in the U.S. that could be used to put the pressure on Can- ada. As soon as the public “learns more about the awful destruction of which the hydrogen bomb is ~ capable,” he writes, “(it) will de- mand a far north warning system built and commanded, if neces- sary, by Americans.” He recalls the recent demand of General Omar Bradley, retir- ing head of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, that President Eisen- hower talk to Prime Minister St. Laurent on the issue. Bradley proposed a “‘unified’’ command— under U.S. domination. Following up the report from its Ottawa bureau, the Telegram declared, without quoting any of- i forces including the placing of ficial, that the governmel answer to Bradley’s propositio! is a flat No. a But it reports at the same time that there are already 5,000 US. troops stationed on Canadial soil. be.
