Abstract: We construct some $\kappa ^+$-Souslin trees which cannot be specialised by any forcing which preserves cardinals and cofinalities. For $\kappa $ a regular cardinal we use the $ \begin {picture}(6,6)(0,0) \drawline (0,3)(3,6)(6,3) 	(3,0)(0,3) \drawline (0,6)(6,6)(6,0) 	(0,0)(0,6) \end {picture} $ principle, and for $\kappa $ singular we use squares and diamonds.
