The Inter- Faiîh Group being a Toronto based group representing several major denomninations in Canada. The-hear ings wer e a forum of discussing, especially the moral issues of' Nuclear Armsý and Nuclear Powers. Thie Hearings were also gîven so that the public would be further aware of' what is happening with nuclear ai-ms. As a class we discussed nuclear ai-ms in variou,, ways and wrote do wni the knowledge we gcained fromi our studies then put it in the foim of a paper that isshw below. We were asked to corne to the hearings in Toronto to discuss our paper with several panelists who asked us some questions on oui- submîssion. As a class we found it a vei-y knowedge and memoriable experience. As Christian young- people we are concerned withi what is going on with rnclear ai-ms and its effeet on the human race. So we have writteni this paper showing oui- viewN. SUBMISSION TO THE NUCLEARfARMS HEARINGS SPONS$ORED BY THE INTER-FAITH' GROUP We, the grade twelve students of' Durhamn Chris- tian High Sehool, are con- cernied about the danger of rncleai- war, thei- oIe Canada plays in nutclear ai-ms developmnent, and the neglect of' other pressing world priorities. We ai-e esp)ecially concern- edI that Canradians in general ai-e'noi aware of what is hap- p)enling ýai-ound them in the nucýlear ai-ms race. People do not seem 10o realize that if something is not done soon there may not be a future for us oi- oui- childi-en. People sem t o thii nk everything is up 10 the Amiericans and Rus- SI anIls We are concerned about ori- respc.,-sibility as Cana- dians, because at the moment we are involved in building parts for U.S. and N.A.T.O. nuclear weapons, which could give the U.S. first strike apability. As we help the U.S. develop the.MX missile, Cruise missile, and the Tri- dent submnarine systemis, the Russians will feel the pressure to catch up. This vicious cycle would one day wipe us out. If we are enabling the U.S. to reach fi-st strike capability, we are j ust as guilty as they are threatening wvôrld peace. Furthermore, Canada ex- ports large quantities of uranium to countries that have the technology to make nuclear weapons. Somne of this material hias been used. in the testing of nuclear devices even after our 1965 ban against such use of our ur anium. But, even when Oui- buyers only use our uranium and reactors for peaceful pur- poses, this frees up other reso urces for n uclea-r weaponis. lndirectly, we are still contribuiling to the, nuclear arms build Uip.
