DISARMAMENT

Cont‘d from pg. 3

world disarmament and a halt to
the nuclear arms race. “‘Labor can
make a significant contribution to
stopping preparations for war,”’ he
said, adding that if money now
spent on arms were diverted to
socially needed policies ‘‘it could
create constructive jobs instead of
destructive jobs.”

Comox MLA Karen Sanford told
the conference that nuclear arms
should “‘not be there at Comox. “‘I
don’t know anyone who wants to
attack Canada,” she said, calling
for removal of the nuclear
warheads. Pointing out that
Canada’s best role is to ensure that
there is no war, she called on the
Canadian government to do away
with nuclear weapons on Canada’s
soil as the first step in a disar-
mament program. ‘‘We want
nuclear weapons out — the sooner
the better,”’ she said. Listed as a
featured speaker at the upcoming
April 27 protest at Comox, Karen
Sanford said everyone will be
welcomed in Comox to take part in
the protest.

Mrs. Sheila Young of the Peace
Action League announced that a
petition calling for removal of
nuclear warheads addressed to the
Prime Minister had been issued
and appealed for public support of
the petition. The Peace Action
League includes a number of
Vancouver peace organizations.
Copies of the petition are available
by phoning 733-9018.
