Peace mission takes people’s appea _ to MP's despite ‘busy’ cabinet The appeal of more than a Mission. made a month ago. of Commerce. Despite the government refusal, MP’s and others. Almost without exception it was recognized that the Peace Mission appeal for disarmament and world trade, for a negotiated. peace, was the basic issue before parliament today, underlying the dreary debates on relatively superficial issues. It was recognized too, that the government’s refusal to meet the delegation threw cold water over External Affairs Minister Pearson’s ‘disarmament talk at the UN in Paris. It was the job of the Peace Mission here to point out wherever it went that the arms program is not only creating great economic and social hardship, but is increasing suspicion and insecurity and is engulfing Canada in an arms race that can end only in war. “We feel the time is near at hand when our government, which proclaims its concern for peace, is going to have to meet with our delegation,” Dr. J. G. Endicott, leader of the Peace Mission, declared at the conclusion of the lobby. “The greater interest among the MP’s, coupled with the fact that disarmament and negotiated peace are subjects of discussion all over Canada—these are signs of that,” he said. ~ The delegation laid before all MP’s the brief which ac- companied the submission to the government .of the affi- davit certifying the 253,537 sig- natures to the Peace Pact Peti- tion, gathered since last April. ; H. W. Herridge, member for - Kootenay West, arranged for spokesmen for the Peace Mis- sion to meet with himself and fellow-CCF members’ Hazen Argue — (Assiniboia), Angus MacInnis (Hastings East), R. R. Knight (Saskateon) and P. E. Wright (Melfort). This group stressed their concern for the issues of peace. In answer to suggestions from MP’s that rearmament was made necessary ‘by the Soviet Union, Mary Jennison. secretary of the ‘Peace Congress, made a strong plea for disarmament as neces- sary to both the security and ‘eco- nomic needs of ‘Canada. “We do not ask you to agree precisely with our proposals,” she said, “nor necessarily to sup- port the Canadian Peace Cong- ress.

Here are brief; notes on some of the interviews: | Arthur MacNamara, deputy minister of labor, heard union | representatives on ‘the mission | and agreed on the need for nego- tiated settlements of internation- al differences.

Extended trade rela-— tions would aid peace. Disarma- ment, he felt, is impossible with- | out Soviet guarantees of good faith. He ‘favors student ex-| changes with Soviet Union. Angus MacInnis (Vancouver East): In an individual interview, McInnis agreed to the need for disarmament. He stated that the UN was the body through which peace could be obtained. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SOO DAVE’S. CHIMNEY SERVICE outlined by Endicott TORONTO “Our fight for a five-power peace pact will now be carried on with a great national campaign for disarmament and world trade leading to a Canadian People’s Conference at the beginning of May, 1952,” Dr. James Endicott, chairman of the Canadian Peace Con- gress, told over 50 delegates from across Canada meeting at the Nationa! Council of the Congress in Toronto December 8 and 9. “We can say,” he reported, “with more certainty then ever before that the people .will save the peace.” Dr. Endicott .pointed out that every Canadian regarded the question of removing the intoler- able burden of armaments and the growing fear of war as the question most directly affecting his family and future. giddy new emphasis,” declared Dr. En- dicott, “gives each Canadian a four-lane highway away from war. Now we must broaden out our work so that everywhere the questions of peace, trade and dis- armament are discussed.” The new proposals which call for a start on world disarma- ment, and for the flow of inter- national, trade around the world, would allow full nation- al security for Canada, by per- mitting those military forces in Canada ‘necessary for our de- fense.
