The thread we hang by WAR i PEACE gtake } i IS WAR I —ILWU Dispatcher Views on Soviet tests Cont’d from pg. 2 conditions its offer to cease testing by agreement on the right to improve its “position of strength” with military in- telligence about Soviet de- fenses. No agreement is in sight. The U.S. has, just had the benefits of its own tests. It will continue to test as the military commanders require. In these circumstances the GUARDIAN editorial, con- demning tests “under any cir- cumstances.” condems the Soviet government for its tests. This amounts to a call on the Soviet Union to aban- don testing unilaterally, whatever the Soviet military commanders say this would do to their capacity to deter a resort to force by the West. Is there a danger that the West will resort to’ force? There is. There are powerful groups who urge President Kennedy to make a preventa- tive “first strike.’ Congress encourages a ‘“‘get - tough - with - Russia” policy that ‘has vague limits, if any. The President. himself seems ready to employ force rather than eccept the consequesces of East German sovereign control over access routes to West Berlin. Adenauer’s policies, which imply a change of frontiers by force, enjoy the connivance of Premiere Showing NEW SOVIET FILM “SERYOZHA” Sun., Sept. 23 — 8 p.m. RUSSIAN HALL 600 Campbell Ave. Everyone Welcome —— ROOFING & SHEET METAL 2 REPAIRS Reasonable Gutters and Downpipes Duroid, Tar and Gravel NICK BITZ BR 7-6722 Washington. Armed to the teeth, the U.S. government is allowing public opinion to be condi tioned to a use of arms to gain American objectives, even though this would be- gin a disaster of unpredic- table dimensions. Does Soviet strength help to save the world from disaster? Yes, it does, because it makes the danger in a Western. resort to force more obvious. Therefore the GUARDIAN ought to say to Khrushchev: So long as the West continues to refuse to disarm, listen to your Soviet military com- manders. Give them the wea- pons they need, tested as they require. They help to stabil- ize this precarious peace and give us time to force the Wes- tcrn governments to accept general and complete dis- armament. We accept the in- crease in radioactivity from testing as the lesser and necessary evil. Bad as it is, it is nothing compared to the nuclear war that Soviet test- ing helps prevent. The Soviet government has earned our confidence by its disarmament initiatives. It therefore warrants’ credit when it says that testing is a military necessity. The U.S. government habitually de- ceives us about the necessity for more armaments. There- fore we discredit its explana- . tions on its own need for testing. MOSCOW MEET DISCUSSES | PROBLEMS OF CAPITALISM By JOHN WEIR MOSCOW — The recently concluded exchange of opin- ions among the leading Mar- xists of 20 countries on the problems of modern capital- ism has made a valuable con- tribution to the elaboration of theoretical questions and an analysis of the practical tasks facing the working class and the people as a whole. Materials of the conference are now being closely studied — by Soviet Marxists and stu- dents. Participants in the forum, including Tim Buck from Canada have received many invitations to address scientific and student bodies. Tim Buck, who opened the discussion after the opening speeches by Alexei Rum- yantsev, editor of World Mar- xist Review, and Academican Anushaven Arzumanyan, di- rector of the Institute of World Economy and Inter- national Relations—the joint sponsors of the conference— on the basis of Canadian ex- perience and the _ studies made by the Communist Party of Canada, advanced the thesis that “the integra- tion of economies and states is not limited to the Euro- pean Common, Market and the objectives proclaimed in the Rome Treaty but is a universal tendency of state monopoly capitalism at the present stage.” Proposals for nationaliza- tion should be placed and fought for more boldly, he declared, not because public ownership removes enter- prises from exploitation by monopoly capital but because “popular actions to compel governments to nationalize Doukhobor leaders demand Bonner resign The Fraternal Council of Re- formed Doukhobors has de- manded the resignation of B.C. Attorney-General Robert Bon- ner. In a strongly-worded tele- gram of Sept. 15, council spokesman J. E. Podovinikoff told: Bonner: “«— 2--You; Mr, Bonner, are responsible for this march to Agassiz and for Agassiz prison itself and its inmates. Your agents created this furore and you and Fulton created the jail to solve the Doukhobor prob- lem. “The Doukhobors answer. you with a refusal to such a solu- tion and demand a civilized ap- from post proach which, if you cannot provide, then you should resign from your post and allow others ‘ with a human heart to deal with a human problem. “We wrote you from Oakalla (Prison) stating you cannot use steam roller tactics on a whole society, for then the name Buchenwald, applied. by Freedomits to Agassiz, is total- ly justified. “Stop this march the human and humane way — by arrest- ing Lebedoff and his promoters for a full-scale investigation — and you will lay the ground- work for a peaceful and proper, permanent solution.” industries and then 10 P vent their denationalization are mass actions against sta monopoly capital.” In his closing remarks A ademician Arzumanvan # “We Soviet scientists learned many new : from the speeches of comrades from the fraterm Communist parties. eS 2 > thi TRAVELOGUE ON MEXICO Sun., Sept. 30 — 8 Pat 2403 TRINITY 57 (Rear Entrance” Everyone Welco CANADA’ DOLLAR CRIS Read what’s behind fenbaker’s devaluati th the Canadian dollar 10 authoritative study pearing in the Autumn 1962 The Marxist Quarterly Other features include e Early Trade Unions™ | Quebec. © The Outcome cf June } by Nelson Clarke Co © Diagnosing Ant” 7h! munism by Wm. tan Available at: 0 PEOPLE'S CO-Y BOOKSTORE 307 W.
