ME | | ee ee Ten thousand attend Rosenbergs’ f At the funeral in New York, in demonstrations and at memorial services in Paris, London and other cities last weekend, the people who had directed a volume of protest un- precedented in world history to President Eisenhower in the White House at Washington, voiced their grief and anger at the executionof Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. And, in the words of D. N. Pritt, QC, world-renowned British lawyer, it was the occasion for “‘re- dedication of all our strength”’ against the forces represented by the Eisenhower-McCarthy regime in the U.S. which had re- stored to judicial murder as -a political weapon. Here’s a summary of world re- action: Five-power pact NEW people paid their homage at the funeral of Julius and Ethel Ro- senberg, standing outside the chapel where 500 mourners heard would strengthen Canada’s security Call for negotiations to end the cold war and ensure peace came over the weekend from 300 delegates and observers attending a Citi- zens’ Conference for Peace in Pender Auditorium here. Thirty-seven participating organizations, including many unions endorsed the call for: @ A meeting of the five powers to conclude a pact, of peace. @ An ‘immediate cease-fire in Korea and an end to the wars in Viet Nam and Malaya. @ Recognition of People’s China by Canada and seating of Peo- ple’s China in the UN. (The conference set up a citizens’ committee to work publicly for this end.) @A_ disarmament agreement that would be fair and en- forceable and include _ pro- hibition of all mass destruc tion weapons. @ Expansion of Canadian trade Continued — Now Rhee has forcibly taken 25,000 prisoners out of the camps while American guards offer only token resistance. It is impossible that this could have happened without the com- plicity of high U.S. authorities. Indeed, Rhee’s statements make clear that he was in consulta- tion with important Americans. It was known that he was planning this step. Yet, so far from any steps being taken to - restrain him, it is obvious that he was encouraged by U.S. ele- ments. These actions are a_ grave threat to the armistice negotia- tions. The British and Canadian governments and all others which have declared for peace in Korea must not allow world ‘peace to -be jeopardised and themselves to be made fools of by this criminal adventurer. British and Canadian govern- ment leaders should demand of Eisenhower that Rhee be at once arrested and put in jail where he can do no further damage. Churchill has. called Rhee’s action “‘a treacherous violation of the authority of the UN Com- mand.” Yet the Americans con- tinue to cater to Rhee’s rejec- tion of the Panmunjom armistice terms by sending Assistant Sec- retary of State Walter Robertson to “negotiate” with him. These events should be a warn- ing to all peace-loving citizens” against complacency. Pressure must grow for an immediate settlement in Korea to be follow- ed by great power negotiations. with Commonwealth countries and sending of government trade delegations to Asian countries. @® Peaceful solution of the Ger- man question and an end to remilitarization of Japan. @® Recognition of the right of all peoples, especially colonial and semi-colonial peoples, to national independence. “We believe,’ the conference stated in its main resolution, “that it is the first duty of all Canadians to safeguard the se- curity and future of our country. Moreover, we feel this can be accomplished only in a world at peace.” : Delegates agreed that the cold war and its feverish armaments race cannot strengthen the secur- ity of ‘Canada but, rather, threat- en our country’s very existence.” The resolution called for a five-power peace pact, stating such a pact would strengthen the UN by returning it to the fundamental principle of its charter — five-power unanimity. “Living in a province that is, neighfor to three of the -great powers — United States, Soviet Union and People’s China — we feel signing of such a No-War pledge would enhance greatly the | ~ security of our country.” : Throughout the- conference’s deliberations, the need for recog- nizing the People’s Republic of China was stressed time and again. : “Tt is useless to wish to ensure peaceful co-existence while re- fusing to allow the representa- tion of 500 million Chinese on ° the pretext that between the founding of the UN and now China has changed her regime, said Ray Gardner, journalist, in his address to the conference. Launch fund for Rosenberg boys TORONTO . The -National Committee to Save the Rosenbergs has recon- stituted itself as the Rosenberg Memorial Committee with the purpose of bringing “the truth of the Rosenberg case to the Canadian people.” The commit- tee will raise a trust fund for orphaned Michael and Robert, sons of Julius and Ethel Rosen- berg. YORK: Ten thousand. Emanuel Bloch, the young cou- ple’s chief defense lawyer, de- nounce their execution as “an act of cold, deliberate murder.” “The people should know that America is living under the heel of a military dictator garbed in - civilian attire,” he declared. Joseph, Brainin, chairman of the Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs, said: “Members of the family must realize they are today, not only in America but throughout the’ world, custodians. of the Rosen- berg name that will live for centuries. They should be proud of the name.” Rev. Glendon F. Partridge of - Montreal officiated at the burial service. ; The bodies, released at the fe- quest of 71-year-old Mrs. Rosén- berg, lay in state in oaken cof- fins. But they had been brought from Sing Sing prison in cloth bags. LONDON: D: N. Pritt, QC, told 5,000 people attending a memor- ial service in Hyde Park: “This is not a moment for grief or just for anger. It is true we-did not quite succees in prev- enting the Rosenbergs from be- ing destroyed. ‘Destroyed? Their names will live for ever.” ; And Harry Pollitt, British Com- munist party secretary, in a scathing statement denounced the silence of former Labor Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Herbert Morrison when “these men could have made a protest that even Eisenhower dared not have ignored.” “Cardinals, the Pope, presi- dents, leaders of Socialist parties in other lands made their pleas for the Rosenbergs,” he declared. “But not Attlee and Morrison.” PARIS: More than 1,000 peo- ple were arrested by armed po- lice when thousands marched on the heavily guarded U.S. embas- sy. 4 MADRID: Police arrested, a score of people in demonstrations at the U.S. consulate. TORONTO: University Avenue traffic was blocked as 2,000 peo- ple participating in a memorial service outside the U.S. consul- ate. e Fishermen end strike Accepting a compromise agreement, more than a thous- and net fishermen ended a nine- day strike Wednesday this week and headed their boats for the salmon grounds. Striking members of the Uni ted Fishermen and Allied Work- ers Union, Native Brotherhood ' and Vessel Owners voted over- whelmingly to accept an agree- ment calling for 22 cents a pound for sockeye. The joint negotiat- ing committee originally sought 26 cents and operators offered 18 cents. The compromise agreement -also offers 11 cents for cohoe, 7% cents for pinks, 5% cents for summer chums and 6% to 8 cents for fall chums.
