REGINA—A resolution calling upon the Canadian Labor Congress. to initiate “organ- ized discussions among trade unionists across Canada” on the political action resolution adopted by the CLC national convention in Winnipeg earlier this year was adopted by the Saskatchewan Federation of Labor at its recent convention here. Adhering closely to the intent of the CLC national resolution, the convention did not endorse the CCF as its poli- tical arm. It followed the mo- tion calling upon the CLC to initiate organized discus- sions among .trade unionists across the country with an- other motion instructing the incoming executive to ‘con- vene a conference which will give study ‘to the question of labor’s role in the proposed new party. ae Delegates voiced their con- cern that any such conference, in its initial stages, should be confined to members of trade unions. These resolutions, reflect- ing the changing mood of workers and presaging new developments in the labor movement, reportedly caused some preturbation among na- tional representatives of’ the Canadian Labor Congress at- tending the convention, but they were in keeping with the general trend of the con. vention. After delegates had dis- cussed the fact the post-war ‘reporting on developments in socialist countries had largely been left to businessmen ra. ther than workers’ and farm- ers’ organizations, the conven- tion adopted a resolution urg- ing the CLC to establish its own means of reporting direct. ly on developments in social- ist countries, including ex- changes of delegations. Adopting a series of resolu- tions on foreign policy, the convention: ~“@ Condemned the U.S. veto of trade contracts with social- ist countries. ® Condemned U.S. and Brit- ish intervention in the Middle East and subscribed to the “idea of . non-interference in the affairs of other countries and peaceful competition -and non-discriminatory trade be- tween all nations.” @ Called for ending of -all nuclear tests and urged gov- ernments to work for total disarmament, Geneva parleys race nuclear arms spread By LANCE SAMSON LONDON — As the H-wea. pons — H for hydrogen and for horror — have got bigger, deadier and more long rang- ing, so the advantages to any power starting a nuclear war have increased. Military experts of ten na- tions — five capitalist and five socialist — are now sit- ting around a table in the Palace of Nations in Geneva to discuss methods of. pre. venting surprise attack, both nuclear and by “conventional” forces. Their job: to discuss the various means of detecting preparations for both kinds of attack, to decide on the effic- acy of the different schemes, and to report their findings to their governments. Their deliberations — likely to go on for at least four or five weeks — should lead to East-West diplomatic negotia- tions on actually setting up the machinery they will propose, as part of a disarmament agreement. Their conference and.the cur- rent>“end the tests” negotia- tions — also at. the Palace of Nations in Geneva — are all the more vital because for 14 months there has been almost no progress on disarmament. Six months of disarmament talks in London ended in Sep- tember last year. with every indication that the Western powers were not after a dis- armament agreement at all but only out to keep their voters quiet by talking about dis- armament.
