Dear Editor:

~ Many Canadians will be
shocked by Marc
MacGuigan's recent public
Statement that Canada
supports the U.S. on ar-
mMaments build-up. Our
external affairs minister was
quoted, in January, as telling
a Los Angeles audience that
a nuclear arms build-up is a
commonsense answer to
Soviet power that will
reduce the risk of war.

This ideaé of building
enormous nuclear arsenals
as a deterrant against
aggression was condemned
by the General Assembly of
the United Nations in its
special session on _ disar-
mament in 1978. The
assembly adopted, by
consensus, a _ declaration
which reads in part: “The
increase in weapons,
especially nuclear weapons.
far from helping to
strengthen international
security, on the contrary
weakens it. Mankind today
is confronted with an un-
precedented threat of self-
extinction arising from the
massive and competitive
accumulation of the most
destructive weapons ever
produced.”

At that U.N. session in
1978 Prime Minister
Trudeau told the nations that
“the arms race must be
‘suffocated’ by cutting off the
military research and
development efforts that
feed it." A commendable
objective, but one that
Canada itself has done little
to achieve. A large porwgon
of the money spent by our
government today for
scientific resarch and in-
dustnal development goes to
the armaments industry. In
recent years Canada _ has
consistently been among the
top 10 or 15 nations ex-
porting military supphes
And our exports include
parts for nuclear weapons
systems.
