CosNewsProto * “By CHERYL CALDERBANK. : Staff Writer — i “We have come halfway down the road to the point! where the power of public opinion can really compel governments to do what they want and they have a right to demand, but we are not, there yet,” Operation Dismantle president Jim Stark told delegates Thursday at the World Youth — Peace Through Communication Conference. * But he said the disarmament movement has come a long way from the doldrums” of the early ‘70s. In his nine years as a peace activist, Stark told the delegates from 15 countries during the question period, he has seen enormous changes... A “People don't call me a communist anymore because I am for peace,” he said. “ But he told the youth gathered at the Brilliant Cultural Centre for the four-day peace conference: “It is up to your generation to get rid of nuclear weapons. Make sure you do four part .. . and pretty Soon the-people not ‘with it’ will be the people not involved in disarmament . Stark said the next five years will “tell the tale “If we don't get the job done in the next five years, there may be no point in trying.” _ Stark, also Spoke on. the role of non-governmental organizations. He said he is impressed with what he called a “very unique conference.” He told the young people that their generation can't Youth can't afford to fail afford to fail in the area of world peace. “My, parents’ generation, failed utterly to deal realistically with the terrible weapon,” he said. “My generation also failed by avoiding and denying the existence of the incomprehensible problem. “I wouldn't have come all this distance to speak to you if I didn’t really believe that you young people represent a generation that will finally learn to say no to this nuclear madness . . .,” Stark added. He noted that the arms race is about power; politics is about power: and the young people today have power. “You and I and the individuals of all the nations have the power to change the course of human history,” he said. “We have the power to ensure the survival of the planet earth. “The vehicle through which we are acquiring power is the non-governmental organizations,” he said. “You are being’ emp’ d through govern organiza- tions to change this. world.” i Gs : Stark stressed the importance of non-governmental organizations. He. said that in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Trudeau used to say he would love to move on the issue of disarmament but that there was no real demand from the Canadian. people. eee With this response, Operation Dismantle decided to ask municipal councils to conduct referendums on disarmament. __speace research institute in Canada. And we educated a lot "But opponents said disarmament is an international issue, Stark said. So Operation Dismantle had to fight and win court battles in the Supreme G@ourts of four provinces, including B.C. to hold the referendums. “We had to endure a certain amount of criticism, but we succeeded,” he added. The result was that millions of people in 193 cities” and towns voted for disarmament — including Castlegar. “We didn’t stop the arms race and we haven't yet made’ Canada a nuclear weapons free zone,” he said. , But due to.ihe referendums and many other actions by the almost 1,000 peace groups in the country, Trudeau did do something. “He went on a world peace and disarmament tour,” Stark noted. “And he set up a new government-financed of people. “And I can. say as a result of our efforts and many other groups, non-governmental ‘organizations in this country, that today there’s not a single politician in this country at the federal level from any. party who isn’t very nervous about being caught on the wrong side of the disarmament issue.” : Stark said that the power of ordinary people through the ideas and efforts of non-governmental organizations have forced these changes through. Political attitudes the real problem By SIMON BIRCH Staff Writer Canada’s former ambassador to the Soviet Union said that mi: hding and ig are the main. contributors to conflict in the world today. Speaking at the World Youth — Peace Through Communication Conference at the Brilliant Cultural Centre, Geoffrey Pearson, now executive director of the Canadian Institute for International Peace and Security in Ottawa, said, “One of the major contributors to confliét today is ignorance and misunderstanding on the part of (the United States and the Soviet Union) of the life, thinking and culture of each other's countries.” The 57-year-old Pearson, who spent three years in the ™ Soviets are for peace By CasNews Staff The Soviet Union is making every effort to halt nuclear weapons, says. the chief editor for Journal Otchizna in Moscow. ; Vadim Kassis told youth delegates at the World Youth — Peace Through Communication Conference Thursday that the Soviet Union is maintaining armed forces at its lowest possible level. ae Speaking in broken English on the..ReSult and Experience of the Peace Kassis gave 1 of the peace movement in the USSR. He said Soviet “peace champions” hold meetings and demonstrations in: Moscow. Two demonstrations were held in July and August in Moscow, he said. But he said the Soviet people don’t demonstrate against Soviet Union as Canada’s dor, said red! of tensions and reduction of conflicts are the answer to the problems of the world, not arms control. “Arms. control. is one aspect. The real problem “is” political attitudes, prejudices and also a history of rivalry.” Pearson explained that the present conflict between the two superpowers has its roots in the Second World War. from which the two countries emerged determined never to allow themselves to be attacked again._ . Despite the fact that neither gountry has a traditional desire for each other's territory, Pearson said the rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union continues because of each country’s influence on the politi¢s of the countries close to the borders of the two superpowers. ' “The way they look at it is that if they lose control the other will gain control.” Pearson distinguished between violence and war in his speech. . “War is a social phenomenon which has to be organized by -governments:— = = — - “Violence is not a social problem. Violénce is a human tendency. We can learn to control it, but we can never abolish it. ° . Pearson said the long-term aspect of the problem is how to stop or abolish war asa means of settling conflict. He said that since “more than’ 90 per cent of the total number of nuclear weapons are under the control of just two governments — the U.S. and the Soviet Union — then obviously those two governments bear an overwhelming ibility for controlling such weapons” as a means‘of settling conflict. ‘s i Pearson said the two countries must come to realize @ their gover “because our government has always been fighting against war and disarmament.” : it g to stop the arms race'and to eliminate all weapons,” The question’ p&riod prompted many questions from youth delegates. A delegate from Panama asked Kassin if the Soviet government wants peace throughout the world, why is it sending arms to Nicaragua and El Salvador to aid guerrillas there? 3 i is-teplyi interpretor Sergey Plekhanos head of social and political studies for the Canada/USA Institute, Academy of Sciences in M&scow, said: “We support those nations fighting for independnece. And tha ‘why we openly state that we are on the side of- the Nicaraguan people.” . Kassis noted that. during the opening céremonies of the Moscow Youth Festival held recently “you just had to hear and see the storm of applause that the 100,000 people sitting in- Lenin Stadium gave to the Nicaraguan delegation and only 10 per cent of the audience were ftom the Soviet Union. “That illustrates the worldwide supportfor the struggle of the Nicaraguan people,” Kassis said. He asked! the delegate whether’ she had been to Nicaragua and seen the artrocities inQitted onthe people there. Another delegate asked how the USSR is to make it universal. : : “We are not in the business of exporting revolutions,” Kassis said. “We have no intention to enforce order in the world and to impose our own systems on the world. So the very’ premise of your question is very strange.” that what matters is not the principle of i or. capitalism, but how each regime helps make life better for those who live in the two countries and the world.

He strongly objected to the premise of the question that _ the regimes were imposed. ~ Kassis, who said he visited Poland after the war, said he knows for xfact that Poles and Czechs were grateful to the Soviets for liberating them from the Germans. » He said ‘the protests heard from people in those countries are those objecting to social development. They do not reflect the desires of the majority of people, he said~ Kassis-was also asked about the Soviet government opposition to the Strategic Defence the Initiative or Star Wars project. proposed by the U.S. 6 “We believe we must oppose it (militarism in space) but our government has stated that if they are forced to compete in this area they will have to respond with effective counter measures because it will be a threat to the Soviet government's security,” “Kassis said. One delegate said during the conference that the youth seemed to be ‘opening up. old wounds, asking each government why certain things were done. ~ : ‘But he said the youth should ask constructive questions such as what ‘they can do to create this peace: “Since you said the Soviet Union. has done so much for peace and disarmament, how can we influence the USSR to .._inerease efforts for peace initiatives,” he asked. Kassis cited the Soviet & tatest—peace initiative, The Soviet Union announced that their nation would stop all testing for a period of months in hopes that thd U.S. would respond with a similar commitment.
