Local delegates at Guelph conference see some hope in global desire for peace Total nuclear war is probable by I and certain before says Rear Admiral Eugene Carroll Helen Caldlcott of film If You Lore this Planet it will come even sooner than 1M0 In event of such war all of southern Canada will almost certainly be target cities In Ontario Include Tor onto Hamilton Windsor Kitchener don Barrie Ottawa and Sudbury A ew million people may survive In the far This was the message at the recent Conference on Peace and Security in a Nuclear Age at University of attended by Eldon Comfort Mary Piercy Rev Don Matheson and of Acton and Janet Duval of Georgetown It was at this conference that Prime Minister Trudeau announced his new peace Initiative to visit several European leaders and eventually Moscow and Washington All participants at the conference from the Russia and NATO alike agreed that full nuclear war Is close to Inevitable unless the world public is sufficiently educated and aware to demand global arms reduction and alter natives to global war Where are we now in the arms race About SO nuclear weapons are stock piled around the world with the NATO countries ahead In some types of weapons the Warsaw Pact Soviets ahead In others Total firepower is about times that which was used in all of World War and both sides are quite capable of destroying the entire world several times oier even when they are behind Neither side Is working to develop any thing which would protect cities from at tack once missiles are approaching agreed panelists from both sides both rely on deterrence the theory that the more weapons you have the less likely your is to attack you Russian and American experts at the conference agreed that 100 nuclear weapons on each side enough to destroy all of Russia or the would actually be sufficient deterrent but that the current Geneva arms control talks are going almost nowhere because of extreme mis trust and political blustering and bluffing Many people support the theory of deter rence as a way to prevent war because it has worked for several years now Deter Is a leaky bucket said expert Dr of India It depends on assumptions that your enemy la always rational that neither side will ever miscalculate how much aggression the other side will accept and that there will never be human or mechanical error Depending on deterrence Is like a man claims he can fly said Canadian N expert William Epstein Such a man Jumps off a storey building and 10 feet from the ground says You see so far so good When volatile Third World governments become involved In international tensions and as more of them obtain nuclear weapons the deterrence theory no laager holds water be said Aside from the outcome of arms race the conference explored other reasons why It should be stopped to year olds go to bed In fear of being orphaned before they wake and teenagers fed a sense of hopelessness in face of world problem said Russian obstetrician Gaiina Savelieva a member of Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War in Moscow 64 per cent of American teens say they often worry about nuclear threat reported Joanne Santa Barbara of Hamilton Physicians for Socio Savelieva remarked that childrens lives should be Joyful carefree and cloudless but instead we are depriving them of any Inheritance Another serious coat of the arms race is its effect on the economies of the arms producers Russian expert Yuri Ivanov admitted that defence spending was an enormous drain on his country economy for which everyone paid and from which no one profited Western nations also are suffering agreed US Rear Admiral Carroll at a cost of million every hour or trillion US in the next years alone One billion dollars invested In defence production produces 16 to 18 million Jobs Carroll said but one billion invested in any other area such as consumer goods health education or the arts would produce an average of million Jobs Creating Jobs should never be used as an excuse for weapons production With to it of tbe worlds finite resources going to the military each year we are leaving our children fewer resources at greater cost with no practical benefit from the stockpiles of weapons said Dr of the UN The Third World or developing coun tries also suffer from arms race 90 per cent of people in the world do not live in the or S commented one del and yet those two countries put us all in Jeopardy Since World War II all international conflicts have taken place in developing countries supplied with weapons from th U S and IS from the Soviets The superpowers have war by proxy said Inga Thorssen of Sweden and the N and the Third World continues to suffer every despair known to man She said that assistance to developing countries in the next five years will be the same as world military spending in the next four days In summary Rear Admiral Carroll compared the arms race to a Greek trag edy All of the players now the tragic ending and agree that It is almost inevitable yet political ill will makes them helpless to change the outcome Russia and Third World panelists nodded in agreement with this analogy All how ever held out one ray of hope in this gloomy picture that If the worlds people were mobilized in sufficient numbers to demand from their leaders the political will which Mr mentioned his address then change could come Canadian delegates gave Russian speakers at the conference a message to take home that western peace movement needs help from Russian peace movement you roust let them speak In your country Tbe people are wiser than their leaders commented a UN expert To quote President Eisenhower People want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of the way and give it to them S Genera George Scignlous who saw action in Berlin Viet Nam the SALT II talks and now the Presidents Committee on Arms Control suggested that another chance for peace lay In efforts by tbe and the Soviets to understand each others people and cultures better through youth exchanges academic courses and so on He said that one of the S a great mis takes has been a failure to realize that from Genghis Khan through Napoleon to Hitler Russia has been invaded and invaded and invaded and defensiveness pervades their thinking today They do not wont to lose ever again and after SO million casualties In World War II the average Russian cltiien wants peace as much as we do In conclusion everyone at the con ference came to see that our security de pends on the Soviets feeling secure and their security lies in making us feel secure w newsmakers Georgetown Acton Wednesday November Georgetown Moun GEORGETOWN 8775108 Toronto Leather town souvenir bags were given out to
