USSR growing market for Canada says envoy Good neighborly relations between Canada and the Soviet Union, expansion of cultural exchanges, and an in- crease in two-way trade were urged in Toronto last week by Amasasp Aroutunian, Soviet ambassador to Canada. Dr. Aroutunian spoke in Toronto’s King Edward Hotel at a reception sponsored by the Canada-USSR Society. He clarified his uniderstand- ing of good relations by stat- ing: “I am a partisan of the school of diplomacy which believes that even in a time of international tension, the relations of two countries can be developed in a friendly way and can help solve inter- national problems.” ECCLES (British Daily Worker} “Well, we're finding it very difficult to keep. body and soul together.” “The peoples and _ states have but one alternative,” he added, either peaceful coex- istence ard economic com- petition between socialism and capitalism, or nuclear war. There is no_ other choice.” Pointing out that since 1938, Soviet trade has in- creased about ten-fold, Dr. Aroutunian said that Canada has enjoyed very little bene- fit from this increase. Despite the fact that the trade turn- over of each country has now reached $11 billion a year, last year the Soviet Union purchased a little more than $23 million worth of Cana- dian goods, while our imports of Soviet goods totalled only $4.5 million.
