L.A., Vancouver, writes: I
have just read that the exact
purpose of the Amchitka test 1s
to make sure that the x-ray
content from the bomb’s
explosion is sufficient to
‘neutralize’ an incoming missile,
(my wording).

Wasn’t that the purpose of the
Bomare missile which Canada
has been depending on for
‘defense’ for many years, and
which the USS: quit
manufacturing after Canada
relieved them of their stockpile?

Now the Amchitka type bomb
is supposed to ‘neutralize’ an
enemy missile. It occurs to me
to wonder what radioactive
damage would be attained by
this ‘defence’ 5-megaton
neutralizer? Is it not possible the
‘neutralizing’ explosion will also
‘neutralize’ the country for
hundreds of miles?

I am of the opinion that the
main reason the military have
made the neutralizing
explanation is because of the size
of the opposition to more atomic
explosions for war and because it
sounds more defensive than a
method of attack. ‘

Books by listed CIA agents
recommended reading at UBC

BY A PARENT

As a taxpayer and parent of a
university student, I find it
reprehensible that books
authored by persons listed as
CIA agents are_ being
recommended in certain courses
at UBC.

The books do not deal with
espionage, or how to maneuver a
coup d’etat in a banana republic,
but as one would expect, with
communism and the Soviet
Union.

There has been an outcry
against the number of books used
in our schools which originate in
the USA. From my reading of
some of the books, the outcry
should be stepped up a thousand
fold.

It is no secret that the U.S.
educational system has for 50
years been geared to the
dissemination of  anti-
communism and anti-Sovietism.
To. turn to ‘‘authorities’’ reared
in such an atmosphere for an
objective and scholarly approach
to the USSR makes as much
sense as turning to the writings
of British politicians during the

- reign of George the Third for an

objective picture of the
American revolution.

Yet month after month and
year after year students in
political science and history
courses are subjected to the
theories of this type of ‘‘expert”’
on the inner workings of the
Soviet system. Year after year a
conglomeration of essays
written in biased and
unscientific terms are
recommended to students as
source material.

Whether this is a deliberate
policy on the part of some
professors I am not prepared to
say. I do say it is impossible for a
student to survive four years of
this brainwashing without some
‘of the prejudice finding its mark.

The fourth-year Arts student in
my home recently brought home
the book Politics in the Soviet
Union, required reading.

Anti-war film

The fighting anti-war speech of
Bess Myerson Grant, linking
U.S. aggression in Indochina to
America’s economic and social
ills is the basis of the powerful
anti-war film, ‘“You Don’t Have
to Buy War Mrs. Smith” being
shown Sunday, Nov. 21 at 600
Campbell Ave., Vancouver.

Mrs. Myerson Grant,
Commissioner of Consumer
Affairs for New York and a
former ‘‘Miss America’’, hits
hard at the multi-national
corporations that profit from
U.S. military spending. elie
real enemy is Appalachia and
the ghettos of Harlem and Watts

to be shown

‘_ it’s hunger and despair,”’ she

says. ‘‘The enemy is polluted
water and air.

The film will be shown follow-
ing a home-cooked turkey dinner
with all the trimmings served at
6 p.m. Later a colorful half-hour
Soviet film ‘‘Siberia’’ will be
shown. Auspices, Communist

Party Kingsway Club.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Because Remembrance Day,
Nov. 11, falls on our regular

your paper is late, that is the

DINNER

Published in the U.S.A., this text
includes contributions from
seven Soviet Affairs ‘‘experts’’.
Two of them, Bernard S. Morris,
Indiana University, and
Raymond L. Garthoff, John
Hopkins, are listed in Who’s Who
in the CIA. The last named
professor is designated as being
an analyst of Soviet-Politico-
Military Affairs for the Air
Intelligence Service from 1957 to
1961. When he moved into the
“education” field is not
revealed.

Another contributor to this
particular book is Professor
Robert V. Daniels, who also
wrote a diatribe titled The
Nature of Communism, also on
UBC bookshelves for the
edification of students. Daniels
does a vicious job of distorting
the theories of Marx and Lenin in
this book, which, incidently, is
published by Frederick Amos
Praeger, another former CIA
agent who today apparently
derives his income from the
publication of anti-communist
and anti-Soviet books.

Daniels recommends dozens of
books for his readers which, he
says, are the most significant
literature in English
representing the various
perspectives developed in his
own book. Among them are no
modern Socialist writers, much
less Marx or Lenin, but men such
as Max Eastman, William Henry
Chamberlin, Hamilton Fish
Armstrong, Adam Ulam,
Bertram Wolfe and other
professional Soviet baiters.

Chapter One of Daniel’s book
begins with the sentence:
Communism is grounded in
illusion. He carries on in that
vein for 375 pages to conclude
with a sentence that expounds
this gem: ‘“‘Communism, with its
_despotic controls and its history
of terror — is barbaric in
comparison with western
society’. (This from a teacher
entrenched in a society which
produces My Lai’s, Attica’s, Kent
State, Black Panther murders
and Black lynchings, corruption;
rape, and terror in the streets! )

There are many students who
recognize this type of
propaganda is made available to
them for the same reason that
big business controls the Board
of Governors of the universities,
and that endowments produced
from the sale of arms for use in
Vietnam are acceptable to
‘university authorities. On the
other hand it is regrettable that
so many taxpaying adults do not
become more concerned with the
type of propaganda being handed
out to young Canadians.

I am not so unrealistic as to
expect textbooks eulogizing
communism, socialism, or the
USSR will be used in capitalist
Canada’s schools. I do expect,
and insist, that objective,
scientific, and balanced books on
the subjects be given as much
use as is the viciously prejudiced
guff put out by professors and
publishing houses in the pay of
the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency.
