VIETNAM PROFITS
FOR OVER 500.
CANADIAN FIRMS

Over 500 firms in Canada

now participate in subcontract- .

ing on/U.S. military contracts
and it has been reported that
about. 175 companies are devot-
ing a major proportion of their
efforts to such contracts. This
business now totals over $300
million annually. Many Cana-
dian firms are engaged in pro-
ducing arms for shipment to
the United States which are
then used in the war in Viet-
nam. The Canadian govern-
ment has encouraged the devel-
opment of a weapons industry
in Canada. It has even encour-
aged the integration of these
industries into the multi-natio-
nal U.S. giants. The govern-
ment uses public funds to make
grants to these firms to develop
new weapons systems. About
one-half of all government
sponsored industrial research

‘ and development in Canada is

directed to arms manufactur-
ers.

The most offensive coopera-
tion which has developed out of

Canada’s alliance policy is the
agreement between Canada,

the United States and Great

Britain for the development of
weapons for chemical and bio-
logical warfare (CBW).

It has been admitted by the
Defense Research Board that
irritant or nausea gas, (CS)
was developed in Britain, test-
ed in Canada, and manufactur-
ed in the United States. It was
then used by the United States
in the Vietnam war, as were
certain defoliants tested at Suf-
field, Alberta.

THE GREATEST CAUSE OF ALL...

"A struggle is being waged for the greatest cause of
all — the future of mankind. In the first half of this centu-
ry two world wars claimed more than 70 million human
lives and wiped out thousands of thriving towns and rural
communities from the face of the earth. The sinister atomic
mushroom over Hiroshima is a tragic warning of the pos-
sible consequences of a third world war should imperial-
ism succeed in starting it. Today, when nuclear bombs can
reach any continent within minutes and lay waste vast ter-
ritories, a world conflict could spell the death of hundreds
of millions of people and the destruction and incineration
of the treasures of world civilization and culture."

—Appeal in Defense of Peace, adopted June 16, 1969 by the Con-
ference of 75 Communist and Workers’ Parties in Moscow, U.S.S.R.

We accuse imperialism
of preparing a thermonuclear war

The threat that nuclear weapons might be used for purposes of destruction hangs

over mankind today.

Similarly, other means of mass destruction—chemical and bacteriological—are

being developed on a dangerous scale.

Although world public opinion declares that the use of nuclear weapons is a crime

against mankind (UN declaration on banning the use of nuclear and thermo-

nuclear weapons of 1961), the imperialist powers continue to prepare for a nuclear
war and reject proposals by the Socialist countries to ban nuclear weapons.
There are huge stockpiles of nuclear weapons in all parts of the globe. Operational
nuclear weapons are on board aircraft and ships cruising throughout the world

which regularly relieve’each other.

IFimperialism commits its last crime, by using the unravelled secrets of nature to

sow fire, disease, poison and death, mankind will experience a catastrophe such

‘as history has never known before.

We accuse imperialism of preparing that catastrophe. We call upon all people

to join in the struggle to avert it in time.
