‘Freedom and Peace to
the people of Indochina’

On behalf of the Soviet Communists, on behalf of the
entire Soviet people, the 24th Congress of the CPSU ex-
tends ardent fraternal greetings to the heroic Vietnamese
people and its militant vanguard—the Party of the Working
People of Vietnam, to the courageous patriots of Laos and
Cambodia, to the fearless fighters against U.S. imperial-
ism, for freedom, independence, and the peaceful future
of the countries of Indochina.

We wish the invincible defenders of the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam further victories in repelling imperial-
ist aggression, new achievements in the construction of
socialism. .

We state our full solidarity with the forces of liberation
in South Vietnam and wish them new successes in the
struggle to rid their homeland of the interventionists and
the corrupt Saigon regime, for asserting the right to decide
their destiny themselves.

Our sympathy and our support go to the patriotic forces
of Laos and Cambodia, which are waging a decisive strug-
gle against the imperialist intervention of the United
States, in defense of their righteous cause.

Soviet people are full of pride for the victories of the
heroic Vietnamese people, the glorious patriots of Laos
and Cambodia, who are dealing cripping blows to the
American interventionists and their hirelings.

CHAIN OF U.S. FAILURES

A continuous chain of ignominous failures—is what the
adventuristic schemes of the American aggressors have
turned into. Neither bombs nor shells, nor the ruses of
political intrigues will enable them to break the will of the
people of a socialist country, the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam, of the patriots of South Vietnam, Laos and
Cambodia, and this will be the case in the future, too. The
implementation of the so-called “Vietnamization”—of the
brutal principle “to make Asians kill Asians’ — will not
help the U.S. imperialists to attain their criminal ends. The
staunchness and courage of the freedom-loving peoples of
Indochina, multiplied by the unfailing support of the Soviet
people, the peoples of the other countries of socialism, of
the international Communist movement, of all the progres-
sive forces, serve as a gurantee of their victory in the
struggle against the enemy. :

The Soviet Union is deeply convinced that the proposals
set forth by the government of the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam, the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the
Republic of South Vietnam, the Patriotic Front of Laos and
the National United Front of Cambodia, offer a construc-
tive basis for the solution of the problems of Indochina.

Soviet Communists believe that in the prevailing situa-
tion to strengthen in every way and everywhere solidarity
with the embattled peoples of Indochina and to come out
vigorously against the aggressive policy of the U.S. ruling
circles is an urgent need.

The Soviet Union has given and is giving all-out support
and aid to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the
building of socialism, in strengthening its defense capa-
city, in repelling the imperialist encroachments, it has
come out and is coming out consistently and resolutely
on the side of the liberation movement in South Vietnam,
Laos and Cambodia, which is making an outstanding
contribution to the cause of the peace and national inde-
pendence of the peoples. The 24th Congress of the CPSU
solemnly declares that the Soviet Union will follow this
course in the future too.

CALL FOR RESOLUTE ACTION

The 24th Congress of the CPSU calls on all those who
cherish freedom, peace and progress:

Still louder raise the voice of protest against the
Sas aie aggression of American imperialism in Indo-
china!

Resolutely and boldly expose the crimes of the American
military, come out in support of the heroic peoples of
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia!

May the world-wide movement for an end to the impe-
trialist aggression in Indochina, for the withdrawal of all
the troops of the United States and its allies from there,
for the realization of the legitimate rights of the peoples
of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to be masters in their own
land, grow wider and stronger!

American aggressors—get out of Indochina!

The just cause of the heroic peoples of Vietnam, Laos
and Cambodia will triumph!

PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1971—PAGE 8

MOSCOW — The 24th Con-
gress of the CPSU adopted the
directives for the 1971-1975 Five-
Year Plan proposed in the report
by A. N. Kosygin and stressed
that “the implementation of the
Plan will be of great internation-
al importance.”

“The growth of the Soviet
economy will serve to further
strengthen the forces of the
world socialist community, and
will again demonstrate the ad-
vantages of a planned socialist
economic system,” it is stated in
the directives.

“The basic task of the Plan is
to ensure a considerable rise in
the people’s material and cultur-
al level on the basis of a high
rate of development of socialist
production, enhancement of its
efficiency, scientific and techni-
cal progress and acceleration of
the growth of labor productiv-
ity.”

To translate into life this

‘basic task, the directives pro-

pose:

e To ensure improved propor-
tions of social production, with
a high rate of growth in agricul-
ture and the industries produc-
ing consumer goods; to consider-
ably enhance the efficiéncy of all
the branches of the national
economy; and to increase the
country’s national income by 37-
40% with 80-85% of the incre-
ment to be obtained by raising
labor productivity.

e To accelerate the pace of
scientific and technical progress
by the all-out development of
research into the most promising
spheres of science, and cut the
time it takes to introduce the re-
sults of scientific research into
production; to substitute ma-
chine for manual labor on a wide
scale; and to ensure the improve-
ment of the sectoral and intra-
sectoral structure of the national
economy.

e Consistently to raise the
working people’s level of educa-
tion and skills; to complete the
transition to universal secondary
education for young people; to
carry out the necessary measures
for training highly skilled spe-
cialists and workers and for re-
training of personnel in connec-
tion with the introduction of
new technology and improve-
ment of the organization of pro-
duction. :

e To continue the work for
improving management, plan-

THE NEW SOVIET

(Building the country av’

ning and the provision of eco-
nomic incentives in production,
according to the demands of the
present stage of communist con-
struction; to use the latest tech-
niques and devices in manage-
ment; to involve the working
people in economic management
on a wider scale.

e To do the utmost to intro-
duce scientific organization in
labor; and to improve the forms
and systems of wages, of mate-
rial and moral incentives for the
working people.

Social Measures

The directives provide for an
extensive program of _ social
measures. Real per capita in-
comes are to go up approxi-
mately 30%. To . ensure the
growth of the real incomes of
the population it is planned to
greatly increase the stock of
goods and to saturate the market
more fully with a wide range of
high quality articles of consump-
tion, and extend the services
provided for the population. The
stability of state retail prices of
consumer goods will be ensured
and prices for some types of
products will be reduced as
stocks accumulate.

Social consumption funds are
to be increased by 40% to fur-
ther improve public health ser-
vices, develop public education,
train personnel and educate chil-
dren, increase pensions for in-
dustrial and office workers and
collective farmers and _ scholar-
ships for students.

Develop Science

It is planned to accelerate the
pace of scientific and technical
progress and to ensure the im-
plementation of an integrated
technical policy. It is planned to
use on a wide scale opportunities
created by the scientific and
technological revolution to speed
up the development of the pro-
ductive forces, to create and in-
troduce fundamentally new in-
struments of labor, materials and
technological processes, superior
technically and economically
to the best present Soviet and
world achievements.

The directives provide for an
extensive development of funda-
mental and applied scientific re-
search and the faster application
of their results in the economy.
