SEE CENTRE PAGES U.S. obstruction of peace stirs world anger The world is sick and tired of the United States obstructing peace. ; The U.S. has once again dead- locked the Korean armistice talks by proposing sO many re- strictions on the activities of the neutral commission controlling the repatriation of POW’s that - it would be incapable of exercis- ing its functions. : President. Eisenhower contin- ues to oppose peace talks with the Soviet Union. : U.S. big business is wrecking world trade. ; The menace to peace today is U.S. war policy. . Last week British Prime Min- ister Winston Churchill declar- ed: “I believe that a conference on the highest level should take place between the leading pow- ers without long delay.” He was giving voice to the un- animous demand of the British people, and the desires of peo- ples in all countries. His plea was endorsed by the leader of the British Labor party, Clement Attlee. Later in the week this demand was powerfully reinfore- ed by Premier Nehru for India. The French want a meeting. The people of the world want it. The USSR and Peoples China stand ready now for talks, as they have repeatedly declared. But the U.S. State Department and President Eisenhower say No. : On Monday last week Prime Minister Churchill said in rela- tion to the latest Chinese-Korean proposal for settling the prison- ers question: “There is no rea- son known to me at present to assume that it may not form the basis of an agreement.” Clement Attlee said that these proposals “have gone a very long way indeed.” And he went farth- er. He said: “There are ele- ments in the United States that do not want a settlement... . There are people who want an all-out war with China.” And the American answer? To advance new proposals to wreck the armistice talks. To appoint as a new chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff the notor- ious Admiral Radford, advocate of all-out war on China.. A crescendo of foul abuse and threats because for once Brittish statesmen said the things the British people want them to say — because they dared to speak up for Britain. “An insult,” howled that loud- mouthed mental case Senator Mc- Carthy — let Britain withdraw from the Korean war “and be damned,” “let’s sink every ac- cursed British ship carrying goods to China.” “Answer Attlee with acts,” shouted Senator Dirkson. Brit- ain was telling the U.S. to “sell out to the Chinese Communists,” said Senator William Jenner. “We've yielded too much al- ready in Korea,” bellowed Sen- ator Russell. “Twice the U.S. has saved Britain from defeat,” raved somebody else. And so it has gone on. Who do these people think they are? The time is long over- due when they should be put in their places once and for all. The U.S. leaders’ reaction to the moderate suggestions from Churchill and Attlee reflect the real war aims of those in power. The British statesmen have started to speak on Korea and peace talks at long last in the way the people of Britain — and Canada — want. Now.the British and Canadian people, and all peace loving peo- ple everywhere, must support a demand to have the speeches followed up by deeds. What ,if not its own reluct- ance, is to prevent the Canadian government taking the lead in insisting on an immediate armis- tice and withdrawal of Canadian troops from Korea now? Why shouldn’t Canada suggest a time and place for Big Power talks now? What has Canada, as a major exporting country, dependent on world trade, to gain by following the U.S. lead in restricting trade between West and East? These are questions Canadians are asking. If they demand an answer and act unitedly — peace can be won.
