an apology dear sir as members of the durham york ndp we strongly object to your editorial of april 13 1983 about the pro- disarmament meeting we sponsored at the uxbridge high school you called our meeting a communist rally to begin with a dulycalled public meeting sponsored by any ndp riding association is not a communist meeting the new democratic party represents above all democratic socialism and in no way can it be taken for communism there were many respected members of the community at this meeting the major ity were members of the ndp and included former provincial and federal candidates in addition there was a highranking elected regional official a local cler gyman a retired crown attorney some united church women who arc members of operation dismantle teachers social workers and a general representation of citizens of all ages from all walks of life you also called our meeting a pro- russian rally surely it is possible in this free society of ours to discuss russian his tory and try to see it in the perspective of world events without having the partici pants of such a discussion labelled as com munists your hysterical rantings bring back the witchhunting days of joe mccar thy in the us our speaker dave szollosy tried to address the question how do we control what the russians do he began by saying that he did not approve of the rus sian system he explained that there might be grounds to expect that the soviets would be prepared to negotiate with the us for balanced disarmament he used historical background and much factual material me szollosy also indicated that the us is not entirely without blame for bringing the world to the point where over 600 bil lion is spent annually on arms you suggest in your editorial that cana- da has no alternative but to agree with the pentagon request for testing the cruise and that such action is the only way to co operate with our southern neighbors there are many of us who prefer to co operate with our southern neighbours by supporting those americans who arc call ing for a nuclear freeze prominent among these arc walter mondalc john glenn and edward kennedy one of whom may easily be the next president and a majority in the us house of representatives we also be lieve that canada has an independent role to play similar to other nato members such as norway and belgium wc feel thalyou have done a great disser vice not only to the new democratic party but to the peace movement wc arc asking that you withdraw your comments by printing an apology and a retraction to red ress the public record wc require that this appear in the same page location of the tribune in which your editorial appeared we further ask that you carry a full and fair news account of the meeting which you did not do in the first place a copy of this letter is being sent to the ontario press council of which your paper is a member we in the ndp believe that nuclear dis armament is literally a matter of life and death for the human race there will be no winncrsin a nuclear war we believe that all of us must convince our leaders to in crease international security through ba lanced disarmament
