| Protest to U.S. on
bombing of dikes

Nixon, calls upon U.S. to “‘stop
forthwith all meteorological
warfare and all bombings
directed at weakening and dam-
aging the dikes system in the
Democratic Republic of Viet-
nam.”

Also on July 31, an enlarged
vigil took place in front of the

_U.S. consulate in Toronto, in

which members of the Cana-
dian Peace Congress, Voice of
Women, Society of Friends and
other organizations parti-
cipated. A letter on behalf of the
Canadian Peace Congress was
presented to the consul general
calling on Pres. Nixon to halt the
bombings. ‘‘The deliberate
bombing of dikes,”’ it stated,
‘‘and seeding of clouds to in-
crease rainfall during the period
of the monsoon rains threatens
the lives of millions of men and
women through the flooding of
immensely populated areas.

‘The Canadian people are
aghast at this ultimate viola-
tion of international law and
most barbarous crime against
humanity...

‘Humanity will hold the U.S.
government fully responsible
for all death and destruction
from floods in North Vietnam
and hold Mr. Nixon accountable
for this most dastardly at-
tempted genocide.’ the letter
concluded.

~ Teachers attack Socred

anti-education policies

The Social Credit government
has used every means at its com-
mand to stop teachers in B.C.
from going to bat to uphold their
own rights and that of the educa-
tion process in this province.
but it has not succeeded.

The teachers have put out a
pamphlet °‘Teachers Versus
Social Credit” which is being cir-
culated in many thousands
throughout the province. Spon-
sored by the B.C. Teachers’ Fed-
eration. the pamphlet says
teachers dispute with the
government is not over poli-
tical ideology: it is over educa-
tion and finance policies the
teachers believe will have disas-
trous consequences for children
of the province.

The passage of Bill 3 at the last
session of the legislature is a
culmination of a series of anti-
education and anti-teacher
moves by the government, it
states.

“The federation therefore de-
cided the only way to change the
education policies is to defeat
the government at the polls, in
the hope that a different govern-
ment will have a different atti-
tude towards education.”

They have sent their educa-
tion platform to all candidates
in the five parties contesting
the election, asking them to
endorse it.

Hiroshima Day
marked in city

Hundreds of people stopped
to talk with members of the
Peace Action League who
rallied at the courthouse
square Friday night to com-
memorate the many thou-
sands who died under the
nuclear bomb at Hiroshima,
and to rededicate their
efforts to bring an end to the
Vietnam war.

More than 220 signed mes-
sages to Prime Minister
Trudeau urging him to call on
the U.S. government to stop
the bombing of Vietnam and
to stop the sale of Canada-
made arms to the U.S.A.
Among those who signed were
dozens of visitors to Canada
from around the world —
from Switzerland, Denmark,
France, Norway and other
European and_ African
nations. Two thousand
leaflets calling for Ny,More
Hiroshimas! were given out
by members of the united
peace groups.

Photos of the horrible
scenes left at Hiroshima
after the nuclear bomb fell on
the defenceless city, and
others of the napalmed and
cripped ‘victims of U.S.
aggression in Vietnam drew
the attention of passersby,
and a committment from
many of them to work
towards an end to such atroci-
ties.
