Servers noted that the U.S. made 64 air strikes and the Turkish air force used 64 planes. The Security Council ordered a cease-fire “by all concerned” and reaffirmed earlier resolu- tions on Cyprus which included guarantees of the island’s terri- torial integrity. The Cypriot del- egate objected to any resolution which treated the aggressor and the victim on equal footing. The Soviet delegate charged Turkey’s N.A.T.O. allies with trying to shield the Turkish gov- ernment. It appealed to the Se- curity Council to adopta decision which would “contain the appeal of the Council for an immediate cessation of bombing and military force against Cyprus.” The Cypriot delegate to the United Nations stated that neither the military might of Turkey nor the danger of the present situa- tion leading to a third world war would make the Cypriot govern- ment reconsider its attitude to the territorial integrity of Cyprus and that it would not give in to Turkey’s demands, North Vietnam on Aug. The U.S, said that it was at- tacked by North Vietnamese torp- edo boats on Aug, 2 and called it “open aggression on the high seas,” Apparently what really happen- ed was that U.S. warships intrud- ed into North Vietnam waters and North Vietnam boats immediately came out to investigate and repel any attack, (Just two days pre- vious U.S, and South Vietnamese naval units had attacked North Vietnam islands.) “The (U.S, Destroyer) Maddox fired warning shots”, wrote Jack Brooks in a front page article in the Vancouver Sun, Aug, 8, “When torpedo boats were seen approaching at high speed and in attack formation,” The U.S, ships then retired out of North Vietnam waters, As for the alleged attack by North Vietnamese torpedo boats on the U.S, fleet on Aug. 4, no evidence or proof whatsoever has been supplied by the U,S, that Endicott blames CIA for attack “I very much suspect that the whole thing is a phony, cookedup deal,” said Dr, James Endicott to a group of Vancouver peace supporters on Sat,, Aug, 8 when asked about his views on the U.S, attack on North Vietnam, “The Democrats may be trying to show that they’re just as tough as the Republicans, “It is quite possible that the torpedo boats which allegedly at- tacked the U,S, fleet were pro- duced by the Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S, How is itthat they haven’t a single picture of the attack? It has all the ear- marks of a CIA operation, *U.S, authorities lied about the U2 flights over the Soviet Union when Eisenhower was president, they lied about the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1962 when Kennedy was president and I be- lieve they could be lying now, “The war in Vietnam could easily escalate into a world war, Canada should demand the re- calling of the Geneva Conference to stop the fighting and start ne- gotiating, The U.S, is the only country against such a conference. being held, We should join with peace forces throughout the world in this demand,” “I have just returned from Japan where I attended three large peace congresses, They want U.S, military bases removed from Japan and they want the U,S, to get out of Vietnam,” 4th are being revealed. such an attack ever took place, All we have from the U,S, is theories as to why a handful of tiny torpedo boats would attack the mighty U.S, fleet, It is sug- gested that the “reds” wanted to test the “readiness” of the U.S, to fight, What utter rot! If the U.S, fleet was attacked, and if it drove off the attack as it claims scoring hits and sinking some of the torpedo boats, where is the evidence? Where are the pictures, the wreckage, the . survivors? North Vietnam, which has cert- ainly never concealed any of its encounters with the U,S,, denies categorically thatithad any brush whatsoever with the U,S, fleet on Aug, 4, .. ®The U.S, imperialists,” said an official statement issued by the Vietnamese People’s Army, “are raising a hue and cry about that they call an ‘unprovoked attack by three torpedo boats off North Vietnam,’ “They have done this to cover up their own acts of provocation and sabotage, their violation of territorial waters and air space and their encroachment on the sovereignty and territory of the Democratic Republic of Viet- nam,” If the U.S, was really attacked, why didn’t it just repel the attack and then take the case to the United Nations? Why didit launch a full scale air strike against North Vietnam ports? The belief is growing around the world that the so-called at- tack on the U.S, fleet on Aug, 4th was a fake, a put up job so that the U.S, navy would have the excuse it wanted to launch its own attack, This view is being expressed publicly in papers in Britain and France, Senator Wayne Morse asked a question about it in the U.S, Senate, See CIA fake pg. 3 Dr. James G. Endicott, Chairman of the Canadian Peace Con- gress, addressed peace marchers at Vancouver's Victory Square on Sat., Aug. 8. The marchers pcraded on Ganville and Hastings streets before assembling on the Square. 2500 leaflets were distributed to interested Spectators. Placards carried by the marchers read: Peace in Vietnam, Stop the War in Vietnam, Let the U.N., not the U.S. decide. “In the atomic age,” said Dr. Endicott, ‘its better to talk for five years than to wage atomic war for five minutes Let’s stop the war in Vietnam by negotiation.”
