Veterans have a particular contribution
to make toward peace and international
exchanges among them can go a long way
towards promoting arms control, repre-
sentatives of Canadian and Soviet vete-
Tans agreed at a press reception for a
visiting Soviet delgation Nov. 15.

The four-member delegation, which
arrived in Vancouver Friday for a four-
day visit, included Dimitry Zabrodin,
deputy minister of education of the Russian
Federation; Kirill Kavun, a geologist; Vas-
ily Zagoruyko, deputy mayor of Odessa;
and Igor Serediuk, the deputy mayor of
Lvov.

Although not all of them were veterans,
their extensive itinerary included a
number of meetings with Canadian vete-
Tans and members of Veterans for Multi-
lateral Disarmament as well as meetings
with civic officials in White Rock, Surrey
and Vancouver and the deputy minister of
education in Victoria, and a wreath-laying
Ceremony at Victory Square. Their stay in
this country also included visits to Win-
hipeg, Toronto and Montreal.

Among those welcoming them in Van-
couver was Col. Norman Hoye, a leading
B.C. member of Veterans for Multilateral
Disarmament and a veteran of the
bomber group stationed in London dur-
ing the Second World War.

He told reporters that veterans in both
countries were “growing closer together
-. because people all over the world are
Tealizing that they all face the same threat
of nuclear war and we've all got to do
Something to stop it.”

Zabrodin, a partisan in Central Russia
during the war, also noted that they had
found “great hopes and expectations”
among Canadians about the upcoming
Summit between U.S. president Ronald

peegan and Soviet leader Mikahil Gorba-
chev,

That feeling echoes the sentiments of
Soviets, he said, who “hope the talks will
lead to positive shifts in the relationship
between the U.S. and the USSR.”

It was towards that end that the Soviet
Union “undertook great obligations in the
efforts to achieve disarmament,” he said,

outlined by Gorbachev.

The delegation also marked the 25th

anniversary of the relationship between
the Canada-USSR Friendship Associa-
tion in this country and USSR—Canada
