The ACM is a more sophisticated cruise mussile than the one Canada has allowed the Americans to test over Canadian soil since 1984, said Bill Robinson Canada is making a big mistake by agreeing to test the American adâ€" vanced cruise missile (ACM), accordâ€" ing to a researcher at Project Ploughs hares at Conrad Grebel:College. Features of the ACM include inâ€" creased accuracy, higher speeds and a stealth capability that makes it diffiâ€" cult to detect, said Robinson. Combined with other weapons deveâ€" PAGE 12 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1989 Canada similarly wastes talent and resources on producing goods that do not contribute anything, rather than working for real peace. The Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Guelpnâ€"Cambridge area has a wide vamety of military industries, Epps points out, including Raytheon Canada Limited in Waterloo, supplier of Sea Sparrow missiles to the Canadian navy Arms are not the route to security, said Epps. "It‘s Third world nations buy military goods for security. That means there are less economic resources available to develop productive industry and selfâ€"sufficiency in those countries Much of the Canadian military industry is dependent on exporting for profit, said Epps. "The economic and political policies follow." â€" lan Kirkby Chromicie Staff Nuclear missiles and arming to the teeth do not create real security. Instead, the world needs to turn increasingly to alternative ways of achieving peace, such as collective security Surpmisingly, the group has a low profile in its own community Yet, when Peter Gzowski needs a peace researcher for CBC‘s "Morningside" program he turns to Project Ploughshares The group works in three areas: research, education and advocacy. and employs seven fullâ€"time staff in Waterloo, and one staffer at its Ottawa office. Research is the basis for informed advocacy and public pressure to change government policy wherever possible," said researcher Ken Epps. That is the message that Project Ploughshares is hoping to get across to Canadians. The acclaimed peace research group is located at Conrad Grebel College at University of Waterloo, and was founded in 1976 as a project of the Canadian Council of Churches. â€"Canada exports $2 billion yearly in military equipment, vet most Canadians are unaware of it, said Epps. "Because f its nature, it‘s not a very visible industry." Canada should say ‘no Local peace group has national profile lopments such as "Star Wars", the advanced cruise could eventually be used to launch a preemptive strike against the Soviet Union. â€" militarists admit publicly that a nuclear war is unwinnable, they have actively developed military systems that are aimed at attempting to win a nuclear war should one happen, or even to be able to launch a preempâ€" tive strike against the Soviets. And Canada, while telling the world it is in favor of disarmament, is actually supporting these American Started by the Canadian Council of Churches in 1976, threats from the environment, social inequities, poverty, hunger, malnutrition and other aspects of underdevelop ment that create insecurity." If we want real and lasting peace the issues that create war must be addressed â€" Third World debt, hunger, poverty, and so on. "All of which feed instability, feeds war, feeds demand for military equipment which becomes ever more expenâ€" The people and government resources that go to support military manufacturers can be diverted to solving world problems, said Epp. 6 9 iA ay ‘no‘ to cruise strategies by agreeing to test destabilâ€" izing weapons, he said. That puts the Canadian governâ€" ment in a position that is not in the interests of Canadian citizens. "Our security depends on a lack of nuclear war as much as theirs does." "the Soviets have not yet deployed an equivalent weapon (to the ACM), but you can be assured they will. ‘"Then our military will be running around like chickens with their heads chopped off, talking about how much more dangerous it is for us." " It drives the arms race." len XOriby photo CreativeBacketsa cirr snor C Saturday is our Sampling day This Week‘s Special: 20% Off Herbal Teas & McSteven‘s Spicy Cocoa Hours: Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs. 10:30â€"5:30 ‘ Fri. 10:30â€"0:00, Sat. 10â€"3:00 PP PARIS 40 SPRUCE ST., PARIS MON. to FRI. 9 to 9 442â€"3118 SAT. 9 to 5 Valentine Baskets & Gifts ’ For Your Sweethear_; 181 PARK ST., WATERLOO (between Union and john Streets) REMODELLING YOUR KITCHEN?
