Never will we attack any other country with rockets or aircraft or other weapons un- less we are ourselves attacked. But in improving living stan- dards and in introducing the shorter working day, we shall show you.” The day before, addressing a group of officer candidates in the Kremlin, Premier Khrushchey said that a certain thaw has become noticeable in international relations. “The ice of the cold war be- gins to melt,” he said. The ex- change of visits between him- self and Eisenhower will pro- vide great possibilities for a further relaxation of tension in the world and an’ improve- ment in Soviet-American rela- tions. He said he was confident that states with differing social and political systems could co- exist. “However,” he continued. “one cannot ignore the fact that aggressive forces are Oper- ating in the world, for imper- ialism is the soil that breeds them. “Nor can one. disregard such unpleasant facts as the con- tinuing arms race, the exist- ence of a great number of mil- itary bases around the Soviet Union, and the arming of the West German revenge-seekers with nuclear weapons.” He emphasized that the So- viet army and navy were being reinforced and _ re-equipped “not to impose our way of life upon other countries,” but to protect the Soviet people as they build Communism. Khrushchev said the further acceleration of technical pro- gress in the Soviet Union was “the horse which we are back- ing in the economic competi- tion with the United States.” Sept. 11, 1959—PACIFIC TRIBUNE—Page 8 Stores Union was settled over the weekend when the firm, — which had fired 25 employees, agreed to take them all back / ‘public Wholesale and Department — tivities were opened by Mayor Maffeo. eka: oo * % Some 1,200 inside wiremen will be asked to accept e terms worked out betwee IBEW heads and employers © — end the threat of. strike actiol Union originally demanded 24 cents on two-year ~ cone management offered 16% cents over two years. oe % ion Lagi %* ' Strike of 70 Internationall Typographical Union men is now in its eighth month.
