Few apparently regard a Sovet nuclear attack as lkely, Don Munton wrote n a survey sponsored by the Canadan nsttute for nternatonal Peace and Suzuk Securty. The greatesthreat, most superpowers and n the possble escalaton of a regonal conflct, wrote Munton.

But how of ther cultural and sprtual Suzuk sad our underlyng can we talk about managng dentty, Suzulu added. Munton s survey. Munton sad one of the most mportant results of the survey s that an overwhelmng majorty (of Canadans) thnk we d be better off wth fewer weapons. Ths represents a substantal shft from the mentalty of the 960 s. n a 962 survey conducted by the Canadan Peace Research nsttute, 58 per cent of the surveyed Canadans beleved the best way to prevent war would be for the West to ncrease ts mltary strength and gan superorty. When the same queston was posed n Munton s survey, only 29 per cent were n favour of ncreased weaponry. That s a very substantal wrong to cast Canadans negatve mages of Amercan polces: as entrely a product of the Reagan era, sad the survey. There are many areas n whch Canadans follow Amerca, sad Munton but added, Were s an area (the defense ssue) where don t thnk we do.

Nanoose protesters seek prompt tral Vancouver (CUP) Students arrested durng a nonvolent protest at. a naval weapons testng base on Vancouver sland say the federal government has stalled ther court date avod to publcty. m dsapponted, sad Susan Moore, one of fve Vancouver Communty College (Langara) students arrested at Nanoose Bay base. We won t have a chance to prove to the courts that what happens at Nanoose Bay s unconsttutonal ar,d nhumane. The Langars students and 3 others were amested Oct.26 durng the largest nonvolent cvl dsobedence acton to date protestng weapons testng at the Canadan Forces Martme Expermental and Test Range at Nanoose. The group blocked an access road and were to appear on mschef charges Jan.4. Moore thnks the government wll not charge the actvsts because they don t want publcty on the actvtes at Nanoose. Ths s typcal, sad Bruce Torre of Lawyers for Socal Responsblty, a natonal organzaton of antnuclear attornes. Crown Counsel felt ether there was not approprate evdence (to convct the protestors) or takng them tocourt was not n the publc nterest. t was probably the second. Nanoose Bay base ncludes 65 square nautcal mles off Vancouver sland. A treaty wth the US., sgned n 965 and renewed last year, allows the U.S. navy unspecfed access to the area. t s regularly vsted by U.S. shps and submarnes, some of whch are nuclear powered and may carry nuclear weapons. Communty groups lke the Nanoose Converson Campagn have long protested the mostly antsubmarne warfare tranng at Nanoose base, as Canada s further role n ntensfyng the arms race. The NCC s man goals are to convert the Nanoose Bay base from mltary to cvlan use. The campagn s also c oncerned about the possblty nuclear accdents. Both the Canadan and U.S. naves wll not reveal whether ther submarne torpedoes have nuclear warheads. They wll not comment on what they wll do n a nuclear accdent, sad Moore, rasng myrad concerns for the people and wldlfe n the area. They keep whales n captvty to test antsubmarne weapons and to retreve equpment, she added. Crown prosecutor n Nanamo, Andy Croll, refused comment on why the charges are stayed.

6 No tme for msunderstandng Why s t that when a group of envronmentalsts and those wth nterests n the forestry ndustry get together there s an atmosphere of perceved threats and outrght confrontaton.? Ths was the general mood yesterday when Davd Suzuk spoke at UBC. And t s precsely what must be avoded f we are to make any headway n our dscussons about the future of our resources. On the one hand, those ndwduals workng n the forestry ndustry feel ther jobs wll be jeopardzed f the scope of loggng s reduced. On the other hand. envronmentalsts beleve that entre ecosystems are threatened by unchecked loggng. These perceved threats are perhaps best expressed n the debate surroundng the loggng future of the Sten Valley. Wth an envronmental vctory havng been won n South Moresby, the Sten Valley s vewed as an mportant turnng pont n the confrontaton. Forest companes have begun expensve advertsng campagns. Televson ads tell pecple that foresters are good corporate ctzens who replant more trees than they cut down. Share the Sten ads advocatng loggng of the Sten valley appear n many prnt publcatons, ncludng ths one. The envronmentalsts are also pumpng money and tme nto ther own advertsng campagn. Save the Sten, the envronmentalst s hgh profle color tablod paper, has appeared regularly ths year on UBC s campus. Last summer s musc fest val at the Sten and Lytton valleys receved extensve coverage on local news programs and n the prnt meda. Yesterday, UBC foresters passed out prologgng lterature at the entrance to the audtorum; behnd them sat envronmentalsts wth buttons and books for sale. nsde the hall, the foresters sat n the last few rows n polte slence. Untl the queston and answer perod where the general mood was one of us versus them. How we choose to manage our natural resources and n turn effect the landscape must be a collectve process, tme s runnng out for msunderstandng.
