Thi3 policy of fore# is giving rise to a wave of protest throughout the world, even among circles which have previously taken no part in the struggle for Peace.

These facts emphasise the very import.' nt role the Peace Movement can and must play in organising the common struggle of the forces who wish to see the present negotia­tions succeed and ensure a lessening of international tension. They led the World Council session to determine the main objectives around which this common struggle can develop.

- The settlement of questions at issue in the interests of the peoples, more particularly in Asia and Europe, leading to the organisation of the security of nations.

- The conclusion, as a matter of extreme urgency, of an international agreement containing an undertaking not to conduct any further experimentswith atomic bombs, and not to use this weapon.

This would be i.-Lmediately help forward the relaxation of international tension and would lead to the banning of all weapons of mass destruction and to disarmament.

It would be useful to specify the ideas which came to light during the sesion on the nature of the action which should be taken for the organisation of the security of nations and for the banning of atomic weapons.

As far as the question of security is concerned the World Council protested against the policy of military h ipcs in Europe, Asia, America and in the near and I.:iudie East. In order to preserve the security of the peoples, it is important that military pacts leading to the division of thi world and endangering the independence and sovereign­ty of nations should be stopped.0

— ' - In Europe, the rejection of E.D.C. and theresumption of negotiations between the Great Powers, in order to reach a peaceful solution of the German problem.

- In Asia, the conclusion of a cease-fire* in Ir.i - China and the peaceful settlement of the yoree^ Indo-Chinese conflicts.

- The rejection of regional and bilateral :r.i'in-ry pacts in America,, in Afrioa and in the Kear Middle East.

In Africa, the actions taken against military pacts, against foreign b-ses and troops, and the exploitation of natural resources for war aims, contribute .0 the defence of the common interests 01 the countries oi continent, which are menaced by the repression c;-.tic: ^ emancipation movements.

£ L

Furthermore, meetings and discussions between the various forces who desire positive solutions of these problems would help to’ develop the action of the peoples for the establishment of joint security.

v ^ • JLThe World Council surveyed the action for the banning

of atomic weapons which is developing in many countries, particularly in Japan, Great Britain, Italy and Canada, ' •where it is very powerful and where new forces are taking part. There is no doubt that suoh action can have a great effect on public opinion and lead to the imposition of an agreement.

This agreement depends on the extent to which each National Committee uses all forms of action and seeks poll- ,j tical steps, which, in the specific conditions of each country, can give th.4 action the widest possible repercussion^ In this field, various methods can be co'risfderfed s voliefction, of signatures on a national or local soale, deputations to Members of Parliament, councillors, etc., and the organisation of "Action Days" or weeks, on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, for example.

The work of the Council has shown that an effort must be wade to bring in the organised forces in each country which do not belong to the Peace Movement, but whose participation in the action against atomic weapons ±£ * i of great importance.

Such an effort could lead these persons or groups, especially scientists and doctors, trade unions, sooial organisations, and religious circles to speak out and act together for the banning of these weapons and for the peaceful use of atomic energy.

The breadth and effect of the aotions organised by the National Peace Movements and these actions depend above all, on the development of many Peace Committees in each town, village and factory, are therefore more than ever of decisive importance for bringing the present negotiations to a successful conclusion, for establishing the common {security of the peoples, banning atomic weapons, and easing international tension.

The Council Session also noted that, while we must congratulate ourselves on the development or cultural activities and exchanges in the recent period, they are. however, far from corresponding to the present possibilities.

In view of the fact that these cultural activities constitute a very ioportant factor in easing international tension, and enable us to draw cultural groups an .5 figures, along with us, the World Council considers that it is desirable and possible that a number of steps should be taken in this field.

Dear Sir,

The attention of my organisation has b^en directed to a ; reference in your -Tuly issue concerning +>*e resolution of Ahe Transvaal Peace Council "dissolving"the Doomf^iitei’- Peace Committee,

Your ar+icle which mentions t*at "Johanr^sburg"had dealt a resounding blow to splitters and that this committee had alleged*} ly been a running sore in the Peace Council’s si.’e .or a long time I also maintains that sniping had taken place,and by implication that this committee had not cooperated in preventing the outbreak , of another world war.

My committee feels th at this sort of article could jhave been published in sheer ignorance or as «. deliberate slander, I Anybody even slightly connected with tv>e Pcacc* f. ovem**rt Jr .Is country(such »s it is)io fully aware of the sterling con ributior.3 in a c t iv e work and finance of the Doornfonteir.

In addition may we suggest that you ascertain the iin future before rushing into print with articles of th**My committee also expects y*i to give this reply as much
