At press time, the OLRB had given no indication of how this latest development in the bitter Steel-Mine Mill struggle would affect their ruling on who was to repre- sent the 14,000 workers in the INCO operation. Local Mine Mill officials were out of town on union business and could not be reached for comment as the PT went to press, but Steel’s admission (though they claim they acted in “good faith’’) would seem to bear out Mine Mill’s. oft-repeated conten- tion that Steel never did have 45% of the workers at Falconbridge signed to ap- plication cards, but were merely running 4a gigantic bluff to try to influence the results of the voting at INCO.

The appeal came on the heels of a statement made last week by Premier Khrush- chev, when, in addressing 13 leading U.S. journalists, the Soviet premier said: "If the Americans stopped nuclear testing now and-an agreement were reached on general and complete disarm- ament and the destruction of nuclear weapons, there would be no need for us to hold our tests.” The press of the Seviet Union was almost unanimous in labelling their govern- ment’s decision to resume testing “a step under com- pulsion.” The text of the gov- ernment statement reads, in part: “For many years, the Sov- iet Union has been pressing for the ending of nuclear weapons tests for all times But the United States, togeth- er with it NATO allies, is ‘sabotaging agreement on this question. 2 “This was again made clear to the entire world when the U.S. and Britain in effect re- fused in the 18-nation dis- armament committee to ac- cept asthe basis for the talks —as the Soviet Union had done—the proposal of India, Brazil and other uncommitted states in the committee, pro- viding for control over the test ban agreement with the detection. The Western powers want one thing — to establish a network of international con- trol posts on the territory of the Soviet Union and to have inspections with the agree- ment, which are highly desirable to NATO’s intelli- gence services and military staffs, working on the plans of a war of aggression against peace-loving states. “Recently, despite wide spread protests, including protests by scientists, the U.S. exploded a nuclear de- vice of a great yield at an altitude of several hundred kilometres, extending to outer space the arms race which is hateful to the peoples. “Even before it embarked on the present series of nu- clear tests, the government of the U.S. was well aware that if American nuclear bombs were to start exploding the Soviet Union would be faced with the need to hold tests of its nuclear weapons. U.S. RESPONSIBILITY “The chairman of the U.S.- S.R. Council of Ministers, N. S. Khrushchev openly warn- ed the President of the U-S. J. Kennedy, of this in his message of March 3, 1962. “Consequently, the govern- ment of the U.S. was fully aware of what it was doing. “On it, and on it alone, de- pended whether the tests to which the Soviet Union had had to resort in the autumn of 1961 would be the last or whether our planet would be swept by new tests. “And the government of the U.S. made its choice.
