MOSCOW

In a document of the greatest historical significance, the premiers of India and the
Soviet Union last weekend affirmed their desire for peaceful co-existence. They called for
creation of a climate of peace and mutual confidence among nations to pave the way for
greater international cooperation. And they declared that

stand in the way of the imposition of a complete ban on th

énd use of nuclear and thermo-
nuclear weapons of war.”

The declaration signed by
Premier Jawaharlal Nehru on be-
half of the 400 million people of
India and by Premier Nicolai Bul-
ganin for the 200 million of the
Soviet Union came after a series
of talks in the friendliest atmos-
phere. :

The joint declaration said that
the two premiers resolved that
relations between India and the
Soviet Union will be guided by
the following principles:

1] .Mutual respect for each
other’s territorial integrity

and sovereignty;

2 Non-aggression;

3 Non - interference in each
other’s internal affairs for

any reasons —, of an economic,

political or ideological character;

4 Equality and mutual benefit,
and

5 Peaceful co-existence.

“The premiers are convinced,”
it said, “that these principles,
which have lately received an in-
creasing measure of recognition,
are capable of wider application
and that in the observance of
these principles by nations in the
conduct of their mutual relations
lies the main hope of banishing
fear. and mistrust from. their
minds and thus of lowering world
tensions.”:

They welcomed the results of
the Asian-African conference at
Bandung last -April because it
showed, how independent nations
with differing political and social
systems could devise means of
achieving fuller economic, -cul-
tural and political cooperation.

“Nevertheless,” they
“in large areas, fear and suspic-
ion dominates the minds of men

read from the rostrum as the
World Assembly for Peace open-
ed here on June 12.~_-

More than 2,000 delegates and
observers from 80 countries were
present as Vaino Meltti, governor
of the Finnish province of Uusi-
maa, delivered an address of wel-
come on behalf of his govern-
ment.

Recalling -the 1952 Olympic
Games, also held in Helsinki,
Meltti described the assembly as
“the Olympic ‘Games~ of Peace”
and said, “More nations and
wider sections of the population
are represented here.”

(A first-hand report will be
given by Mrs. Mildred MacLeod
of Nanaimo, B.C. delegate to the
assembly, at a'peace rally to be
held August 8 in the Outdoor
Theatre, Exhibition Park. The
rally will mark the tenth anni-
versary of Hiroshima and will be
held under the slogan, “No More
Hiroshimas!”) .

The eminent French scientist
and president of the Fie tg Peace
Council, Prof. Frederic Joliot-
Curie, in his opening speech, said,
“It would be very difficult to deny
that the international situation
has improved.” At the -same
time, he warned of the acute
danger of atomic war which still
exists. e

“Immediate measures are ne-
cessary to avoid the disaster of
atomic war,” he said. “We must
therefore work so that, in the
shortest possible time decisions
shall be taken to stop the (atomic)
experiments and the manufacture
of atomic bombs of all kinds, and
to turn the fissionable materials
stocked for the manufacture of
bombs for peaceful purposes.”

“The problem of elimination
of weapons of mass destruction
is certainly linked with that of
disarmament,” he said. _“I' be-
lieve that disarmament is the
concrete action to which public
opinion aspires above all.”

There must be, he said, an
agreement on general, simultan-
eous and supervised disarmament
as the alternative to “continua-
tion of the mad armaments race
with its consequences of poverty,
despair and war.”

Speaking of the impending
Four-Power Conference, he said,
it “raises great hopes and, as pub-
lie opinion will be taken into
account there, will give great im-
portance to tthe conclusions of
our. work.”

The assembly has . become an
event with which the diplomats
discussing disarmament behind
closed doors, or preparing for the
meeting of the Big Four heads of
state shortly in Geneva — will
have to reckon.

And they will have to reckon
with it all the more because of a
speech made by an Anglican
