of ‘these weapons.” It ex-:
pressed concern at ‘the’fact
that “certain members of the
U.S. military establishment
(are) now claiming that it is
possible to wage and win a
nuclear. war,” and it called
on “all nations to recognize
the danger of building up
nuclear arms and to agree to
a slowdown and eventual
dismantling of nuclear ar-
senals.”

The petition calls for the
abolition of nuclear ‘weapons
and all weapons of ‘mass
destruction and the abolition
by agreed stages of:.con-
ventional arms leading to
general_ and complete
disarmament. -

_ Then, having stated this,
council members began to
discuss the subject them-
selves! It quickly became
apparent that we have a
collection of “hawks” on
council.

Alderman Gordon Rose
said he was all in faveur of
bigger weapons of
destruction as “people are
animals and. worse than
animals.”

‘Alderman Jim Ball was

Mayor Don Bell expressed
the opinion that disar-
mament is “unrealistic”.

And on it went.

I was the only alderman to
speak in favour of giving the
group a hearing.

Council is acting in an
arrogant, high-handed and

‘dictatorial manner when it
refuses to hear a delegation

all the “hawks” on council

I think it is very much a
