Protests rising in U.S.
against Vietnam policy

Opposition to the Johnson ad-
ministration’s policy in Vietnam
continued to mount in the United
States this week with the an-
nouncement that peace forces
have combined to stage a giant
Emergency Rally on Vietnam in
New York’s Madison Square
Garden on Tuesday, June 8,

Mrs, Martin Luther King, wife
of the Negro civil rights leader,
will share the platform as a
speaker along with Senator Wayne
Morse (D-Oregon); Dr, Benjamin
Spock, co-chairman of Sane and
one of the world’s leading child
Specialists; Prof, Hans J. Mor-
genthau, University of Chicago;
Dagmar Wilson, leader of Women
Strike for Peace, and Norman
Thomas, Socialist Party leader,

The rally is called to demand
a halt in the Vietnam war, and
will urge that President Johnson
“stop the bombing,” “geta cease-
fire,” and “negotiate with all
parties concerned” said rally co-
ordinator Mrs, Marie Runyon,

Senator Wayne Morse warned
the nation in a news conference
in Detroit on May 15 that “the
Pentagon is trying to goad Red
China into war against the U.S.”
He said Washington wanted China
involved directly in the Vietna-
mese war as an excuse to bomb
China.

Morse warned that “such an
action would set the U.S, back a
thousand years in Asia and ex-
pose future generations of Amer-
ican boys and girls to retaliation
from renewed nuclear capa-
bilities of the Chinese,”

Last week aU,S, author told the,
American Academy of Arts and
Letters that a “tide of public
shame and private anger” is
rising in the U.S, “as we con-
template the moral outrages to
which our government, with in-
creasing abandon has committed
our country.”

FOR PEACE,
REMEMBER?

Canada is to prosper in future years.

General McNaughton, who was
chairman of the Canadian section
of the International Joint Com-
mission for 10 years and who
strongly opposed the Columbia
River Treaty, said that export
possibilities should not even be
considered until this country
knows much more about its future
water requirements,

He told the gathering of Cana-
da’s top engineers that under the
proposals now being advanced the
benefits of 100 percent Canada-
owned water would be unfairly
split 50-50 with the UnitedStates.

*Canada has no obligation what-
soever to export water that is
contained entirely within her
boundaries,” he said. “And even
if this type of exportis eventually
made, the water would be sold as
a commodity, with 100 percent
of the price going to the owner—
Canada,” -

McNaughton said Canada’s fu-
ture water needs are not known,
but are likely to be greater than
the original estimate. As a re-
sult, he said, it is crucial that
a national water policy be de-
veloped to guide the coming utili-
zation of this country’s water
resources, —

He said the Columbia Treaty,

Dominican plea to world:
‘Stop U.S. intervention’

. The constitutional government
of the Dominican Republic has
sent a message to parliamentary
leaders in the Western Hemis-
phere, Europe, the Middle East
and Asia, accusing the U.S. of
coercion and interference in
Dominican internal affairs,

The message was signed by
Arevaldo Cedeno Valdez and
Anibal Campagna as presidents
of the Chamber of Deputies and
Senate which were dissolved by
the overthrow of president Juan
Bosch in 1963 and now brought
back to office by the constitution-
alist forces,

The cabled message saidit was
*no longer a secret how the
United States government, em-
ploying dilatory tactics that could
be qualified as coercive, have
strongly pressured responsible
personalities and organisms in
Santo Domingo and abroad with.
the manifest desire to impose
solutions openly contrary to the
democratic interests of the Dom-
inican people and the 1963 con-
stitution,”

The message appealed for the
support of the “free and demo-
cratic parliaments” of the world,

Meanwhile, the doublecross of
the Dominican people by the John-
son administration moved into
high gear last week behind the
