Evades U.S. Despite earlier pledges that it would not interfere with the trade pact Canada had with China, the U.S. placed an embargo on the shipment to Canada of ‘‘dischargers’’ need- ed for the unloading of Cana- dian grain in China from tankers. The equipment, known as ‘vacuators,’’ pumps the grain from tankers and is manufactured in Batavia, Ill. Officials of the Illinois firm said that the equipment had already been shipped to east- ‘ern Canada ports but the U.S. government had forced the company to send the equip- ment back to Batavia. It has also been ordered not to ship any more of this equipment to Canada. Faced by an immediate out- cry: against the U.S. action, Prime Minister. John Diefen- government is ‘‘concerned” over the American embargo on unloading equipment, but said the grain shipments would continue. He said the Canadian government had asked the U.S. government to review its decision. This latest action by U.S. again underlines the need for Canada to revise its national reliance on. the U.S. manu- factured goods. The U.S. is, in this case, using its control of manufactured items.. which could be made in Canada, to attempt to place roadblocks in the way of Canadian trade. This is the kind of pressure the U.S. uses all around the world to impose its will on smaller countries. Its a sam- ple of the kind of treatment the U.S. government handed out to Cuba, when Cuba de- cided to pursue its indepen- dent course, Despite Prime Minister Die- fenbaker’s assurance that the latest U.S. action does not constitute an infringement on our sovereignty, no serious- minded person will take this statement of his seriously. What. else is it when the U.S. government imposes an embargo -on “its good neigh- bor’ as President Kennedy re- | cently described us, to stop By MAURICE RUSH An attempt to scuttle Canada’s recent grain deal with China was made this week by the U.S. government and has stirred up widespread protest across the country. Canada from trading with China or any other country? This action by the U.S. is prompted by the Kennedy Doctrine which presumes that Canada must follow the US. cold war lead and refuse to deal with those countries the U.S. brands as ‘‘enemies.” Canada must outrightly re- ject and condemn the U.S. attack on Canada’s freedom to trade with whom it pleases. Canada must demand from the federal government that the policy of “integration” with the U.S., by which we rely on manufactured goods from the U.S., must -be changed. Our growing trade with China and other socialist countries requires that Cana- da develop its own manufac- turing and shipbuilding indus- tries so that we may be “free to decide our independent course, without dictation from the U.S. government and mone opolies. baker’ said Wednesday his. the | policies, to end its}, Vienna ‘good beginning’ says USSR of K-K talks Sam Russell, British Daily Worker correspondent covering the Vienna talks, says in a dispatch that “in two days of useful talks President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev have laid the basis for further and more fruitful contacts between their two countries.” = Se ae “This was a good beginning,” said the Soviet press spokes~ ‘man Mr. Kharlamov, and that about sums up the general feel-* ing at Vienna, reported Russell. Tuesday President Kennedy spoke to the nation over radio and TV. and repeated the unbending position of the U.S. on such issues as West Berlin and West Germany, nuclear arms testing and disarmament. ER ee However, the President hinted there would be further dip]o- matic exchanges on these issues with the Soviet Union. . TOKYO WORKERS DEMONSTRATE. Four milli Japanese have taken part in demonstrations against ia new repressive bill introduced by the government to outlaw protest parades and demonstrations. Tuesday the premier was forced, in face of national protests such as the one shown above, to announce that the bill, which earlier passed through the Lower House, would not be introduced ‘at the present session of the Diet.
