The Tribune’s annual
financial drive is on!

Between April 1 and June 25
the Tribune must raise a
Minimum of $54,000 to continue
operating for another year.

Tribune manager Pat
O’Connor released the club
targets listed below this week
and appealed for a massive
effort by Tribune supporters to
Oversubscribe the targets.

“The club targets total only
$40,000; we’ll need another
$15,000 after that,’’ he said. “‘It
won’t be easy, but our paper
heeds every cent of that $54,000
and more.”

The 1978 financial drive will
be similar to previous drives,
O’Connor -said, with Tribune
Supporters raising funds
through public events, socials,
collection cards and tickets.

Also as in past years, the
drive will feature special
awards for the efforts of in-
dividuals and clubs.

Individuals who contribute
$50 or more will receive a
“press builders’? award of a

- Tribune pen, while those who
raise $150 or more will receive
“honor press builders’ awards
of apen anda ‘Tribune diary for
1979. Special recognition will be
reserved for the growing

Demonstration of 50,000

in Holland protests bomb

A giant march of 50,000 demon-
strated in the streets of Amster-
dam March 19 to protest the de-
velopment of the neutron bomb by
the United States.

The demonstration — said to be
among the largest in Dutch history
— wound up a conference of 1,500
representatives of some 300 Stop
the Neutron Bomb committees in
Holland. About 200 foreign dele-
gates from 28 countries, including
Canada, attended the conference
as well, which was called to con-
solidate opposition to the deploy-
ment of the neutron. bomb in

Holland.

The Stop the Neutron _Bomb
committees sponsored a mass
petition throughout Holland that
collected 1,150,000 signatures in a
country of only 13.5 million people.

Pressure from the committees
won an unprecedented two-thirds
majority vote in the Dutch parlia-
ment earlier this month to over-
rule a previous government
decision and to reject deployment
of the bomb in that country.

March 8 the Christian Democrat
minister of defence in Holland, J.
H. Kruisinga resigned his post

Israeli invaders must
withdraw now-Morgan

Canadian peace Congress presi-
dent John Morgan has called the
Israeli occupation of southern Leb-
anon ‘‘a grave threat’ to world
peace that can only be abated by
the “immediate withdrawal of
Begin’s invading troops.”’

The Israeli invasion backed by
air and naval bombardments has
affected mostly defenceless
citizens, Morgan said, and it will
not stop Palestinian resistance.
More than 70,000 Palestinians have
been killed since 1948, in addition to
the tens of: thousands of Arab and
Israeli civilians and soldiers, he
said, ‘“‘such violence from any
direction must inevitably provoke
counter violence.

“The irremovable fact of the ex-
istence of the Palestinian people
and their right to their own terri-
tory and state must be resolved

before stable peace can be won in >

the Middle East,’’ he added.

Speaking in Toronto March 18,
Morgan called for the immediate
convening of the Geneva Con-
ference on peace in the Mideast
under the joint chairmanship of the
U.S. and the Soviet Union.

“The peoples of the Mideast and
the world cannot afford to permit
the issue of war or peace in the
Mideast tinder box to remain in the
hands of former Irgun chief and
terrorist Begin and Egyptian elitist

_Sadat,”’ Morgan said.

rather than support the govern-
ment decision to introduce the
neutron bomb. Kruisinga sent a
letter of support to the conference.

Among those present at the
neutron bomb conference were
U.S. delegate Daniel Ellsberg, who
exposed the Pentagon Papers.
Ellsberg said the bomb would be a
‘first-strike’’ weapon that may
well have been used by the US., if
it was available, in numerous

- incidents since 1950.

Soviet delegate A. Pavlov, vice-

president of the USSR Academy of,

Medical Sciences, pointed out that
neutron rays have been found
effective in the treatment of
cancer, but the neutron bomb is
aimed “against the mind and
nervous system.” -
Amsterdam mayor Wim Pola!

greeted foreign delegates on the
eve of the conference and called
the neutron bomb “another ex-

- ample of human ingenuity directed

at inhuman aims.”
Romesh Chandra, president of

' the World Peace Council, pointed

out that the neutron bomb is the
concern of the people all over the
world. ‘It is a weapon of the cold
warriors,” he said. é

To those who argue that it is
More important to work for
general disarmament than to be
concerned about the neutron bomb
he said that the introduction of that
weapon would trigger a new
escalation of the arms race.

He called on everyone to send
urgent messages to the White
House, asking President Carter to
resist Pentagon pressure and
refuse to order production of the
bomb.
