Probably the most important
agreement was the one pledging
the U.S. and USSR to complete a
new strategic arms limitation
agreement “‘at the earliest possible
date’. This new agreement would
cover the period up to 1985 and
would deal with limiting both the
numbers of ICBMs, land and sea
based, and also their size and
explosive force (usually referred
to as “throw weight” in Western
accounts.) The new ‘agreement
would replace the May, 1972, in-

Dumping hog fuel from the mills

MacMillan Bloedel over the
protests of people in the area. Mac

would be no runoff into the creek.
Check your sports fishing

Another sad story of pollution.

A few years ago we nearly lost
the wintering grounds of our

Millan Bloedel wanted to dump fill

public outcry. They finally backed
off when it was proven that they
were dumping into tidal waters.
They were very generous: and
agreed to level out the land they
had dumped their junk on, and
called it a park. It’s now known as

Next most important was the
agreement completely to end all
underground nuclear tests above
150 kilotons (150,000 tons in ex-
plosive force) by March 31, 1976,
and to restrict lower-scale tests to
an absolute minimum.

Another agreement limits each
side to one anti-ballistic missile
(ABM) deployment area, instead
of two as previously. Two ad-
ditional agreements deal with
procedures of notification on
replacing, dismantling and/or
destroying strategic arms by both
sides; since the procedures were
worked out by the standing com-
mittee set up by the May, 1972
agreement, the anti-Soviet news
media pounced on them as
“secret”? agreements. However,

ey are not “secret”.
oe communique also pledged
the two countries to open talks soon
on “dangerous weapons of mass
destruction”, such as chemical
weapons and systems of “weather
war’ (weather/climate alteration

war purposes, etc.).

aah the USSR and US. agreed
that the United Nations’
resolutions Nos. 242 and 338 are the
basis for peaceful political set-
tlement in the Middle East and
agreed that the Geneva conference
on the Middle East should be
reconvened ‘‘at the earliest
possible date”.

They agreed that completion of
the European security conference
would be an ‘“‘outstanding event” in
the interests of detente, and should
be accompanied by measures to
reduce military tensions _in
Europe, such as are being
discussed at the Vienna talks.

In the U.S., Gus Hall, general
secretary of the Communist Party,
told a recent meeting of the party’s
central committee that ‘for the
U.S. the question of detente has
emerged at the very centre of a
basic crossroads struggle that
affects every phase of our lives.

Japan‘s Communists

score big advances

The Communist Party of Japan
scored big electoral gains in the
July 7 national elections for the 252-
seat upper house of Japan’s
parliament, increasing its
representation from 11 seats to 20.

This remarkable victory came
despite vicious gerrymandering
and rigging by the ruling Liberal
Democratic Party of Premier
Kakuei Tanaka in an attempt to
stack the cards against the
Communist Party of Japan and the
Left in general.

As a result of the gerry-
mandering, Communist Party
chairman Kenji Miyamoto said
before the election that Communist
candidates at the national level
will have to win twice as many
votes as before to hold their 11
seats. :

On May 16 the Japanese op-
position parties, including the CPJ,
issued a joint statement denoun-
cing the ruling party of Premier
Tanaka for its attempts to rig the
Japanese electoral system. The
statement was signed by the CPJ,
the Socialist Party, the Komeito
(‘Clean Government’’) Party, and
the 4.3 million member Sohyo
(General Federation of Labor).

The statement said that LDP
rigging of the election districts
“will fragment and split up the
vote of the opposition parties, and
permit the conservatives (the
LDP) to get 80 per cent of the seats
while winning only 40 per cent of
the popular vote.”

The CPJ daily newspaper,
Akahata, has carried a number of
stories in recent days providing
well-documented evidence of
massive big business slush funds
being poured into the LDP
treasury. Akahata obtained a
letter of the LDP’s fund-raising

body, Kokumin Kyokai, which
boasted that the Japan Automobile
Manufacturers’ Association had
contributed more than $15 million
to the LDP for the July 7 election.

Despite all its efforts and that of
big business, Tanaka’s Liberal
Democratic Party suffered defeat
last Sunday and failed to win a
majority in the Japanese upper
house.

The 252-seat Japanese upper
house of parliament is roughly
equivalent to the U.S. Senate.
There were 130 upper house seats
contested last Sunday. Elections
for the upper house are held every
three years. In the previous
election in June, 1971, the CPJ and
Socialist Party scored big gains.

Tanaka and the LDP suffered a
crushing defeat in the December,
1972 elections for the 491-seat lower
house. The CPJ increased its seats
from 14 to 38, the highest number it
ever held, and became Japan’s
second biggest opposition party. In
the June 16 city council elections in
a Tokyo suburb all six Communists
running were elected, indicating
growing support for the CPJ which
Tanaka and big business tried to
head off without success last
Sunday.

Before the election, the CPJ said
that “‘only a great advance of the
CPJ will. promote the establish-
ment of a progressive united front,
pave the way for reversing the
balance of power in favor of the
progressives, and replace the
present Liberal-Democratic Party
rule with a democratic coalition
government.”’

The results of last Sunday’s vote
should advance this process
toward democratic unity for which
the Japanese Communist Party
has been working.

hardly be alive with all the DDT in the food nowadays! ”
