In addition to its Appeal for

the conference greeted “the
countless demonstrations and
very diverse actions taken

throughout the world since Sept.

d’etat, and to support Chile on
the part of governments, parlia-
ments, political parties, workers’
organizations, young people, wo-
men, and peace movements, cul-
tural, religious, humanitarian or-
ganizations, etc.” The ‘delegates
agreed to a number of recom-
mendations for a big campaign
of information and denunciation
including the constitution of an
international tribunal composed
of highly-renowned jurists to
judge the junta’s crimes; the
preparation of a “Black Book”
collecting together documents

Help the people of Chile

Refugees was in Santiago, and
had facilitated the safe-conduct
from the Canadian embassy
without formal recognition of
the Junta by Canada. He also
admitted that Canadian officials
in the embassy had turned away
many people desiring admit-
tance in the first days of the
junta’s violence.

(It was subsequently learned
—and admitted officially—that
the doors of the Canadian em-
bassy had in fact been locked,
and that access was gained only
in the initial moments of the
violence.) .

Questions were also raised by
the delegation regarding the
conduct of the junta, whether,
in the light of the murders, pol-
itical arrests, executions and
denial of human rights, recogni-
tion could be extended.

Charpentier answered that
although he personally ‘tid not

to investigate and make known to the world at large the true

2. Organize urgent assistance for the thousands of im-
prisoned and persecuted in Chile as well as for their families;

3. Take the necessary steps to organize public collections
in each country to help the victims and materially support the
struggle of the Chilean people;

4. Approach the authorities and organizations in every
country to provide facilities for Chilean students by granting
a “Salvador Allende Scholarship Fund.”

In addition we appeal for the organizing of activities and
demonstrations on Oct. 11 — one month after the assassina-
tion of President Allende — to pay tribute to the example he
gave and to strengthen support for the people of Chile.

echoed by De Bané), neverthe-
less, recognition did not imply
approval anyway. The junta, he
said, “had declared. adherence
to the UN Charter,” including
the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. “Chileans are
reasonable people,” he said,
“and usually moderate people.”
Tory Favored Recognition
Conservative spokesman Gor-
don Fairweather, who met with
part of the delegation, agreed
that Canada should do her ut-
most ‘to assist refugees, but ,
stipulated that this could be
done only after recognition.
Later that afternoon, the dele-
gation met with NDP. leader
David Lewis. He expressed his
sympathy and full agreement
with the lobby’s demands, and
promised to talk to the govern-
ment regarding recognition. Al-
though he expected recognition,
he stated that “there was no
need ‘to hurry,” and that the
junta should be condemned.
When asked why there was
no formal NDP statement on
the coup, he said that “our sup-
port comes from our position in
the House,” and would be quite
evident during the upcoming
session of Parliament.

November Anniversary

After a press conference,
members of the lobby got toge-
ther to discuss joint initiatives
in English Canada and Quebec.
Some of these will revolve
around November 4, the 3rd an-
niversary of Dr. Allende’s in-
auguration as president of Chile.

Among the participants from
English Canada were represen-
tatives of the Canadian Com-
mittee for Solidarity, the United
Electrical Workers Union, the
Canadian Peace Congress, AUUC,
Communist Party of Canada,
and the Congress of Canadian
Women.

From Quebec were the Comi-

The
Conference was very moved to hear the last

words that President Allende spoke to his people from
the Presidential Palace under the bombs of the mili-
tarists who rose up against the constitutional regime.
These words are the real reflection of the great dig-
and firmness of the democratic convictions of

nit ° :
this authentic hero of the struggle: for national in-
dependence. The noble sacrifice of Salvador Allende

constitutes a priceless example for his compatriots

and for all people. :
American imperialism is primarily responsible for
preparing and executing the horrible crimes commit-
ted in Chile. By the intervention of its international
monopolies and the CIA it strove to overthrow the
Popular Unidad Government even before it was con-
stituted. Afterwards, with the constant complicity of
the Chilean reaction and fascists, it tried to sabotage
the Chilean economy, to weave plot after plot, in-
stigating acts of terrorism and ending by assassinat-
ing the great President who had undertaken in unity
with his people historic efforts to end social injustice,
dependency, to liberate his country and implement the
construction of socialism, respecting democracy and
the widest public freedoms. tie’
Chile is living today a repetition of Hitlerism: im-
punity to assassinate and destroy, encouragement to
persecution of ideas and culture, book

denounce,
man-hunts, tortures,

burning in the streets, frantic

creation. of concentration camps and innumerable
forced entries into peoples’ homes.

No worthy and conscientious human being can per-
mit such atrocities. The Helsinki Conference has the
responsibility to testify to the anguish and suffering
and the condemnation expressed by all the people at
the tragic events of Chile. It expresses its most deter-
mined solidarity with the struggle of all the democ-
ratic and patriotic forces of Chile against the intro-
duction of fascism into the native land of Salvador
Allende and Pablo Neruda.

The Conference, interpreting the common aspira-
tions, considers that it is essential to launch a wide
international movement of solidarity grouping all the
most diverse forces who want to help the Chilean
people to regain their freedom. The Conference calls
for the most rapid, varied and effective support pos-
sible in the moral, political and material fields.

Mankind demands: ‘Stop the bloodshed”, “Stop

the assassinations and the persecutions”, “Open the.

prisons, stop the tortures and close the concentration
camps”, “Respect ‘the dignity of man, ideas, and cul-
tural values”, “Freedom for the Chilean people”.

The fascist junta must answer for its crimes in
front of. the tribunal of universal conscience. The
nations will mobilize themselves energetically and

the people of Chile until their inevitable victory.
