charged that “Mr, Stevenson has
chosen to remain a spokesman
for the cruelty and distortions
which characterize U.S, policy.”

Boyd wrote: “Those who favor
honoring Stevenson point to his
‘great contribution to public life
over the years,’ his ‘brilliant
record’ and his ‘liberal intellec-
tual tradition,’ But it’s not Adlai
Stevenson’s past that people are
concerned about — it’s what he
is doing now,

“Moreover, if he were such a
great ‘liberal’ and principled
statesman, he would resign his
present post and join in the
growing protest that thousands
of intellectuals in his country are
spearheading against the Johnson
administrations’ foreign poli-
cies, As it is, his‘liberal’ image
makes his present role of trying
to sell those policies to the world
that much more unsavory and
dangerous. :

“That is why everyone who.
stands for peace, for an end to
the war in Vietnam, will whole-
heartedly endorse the proposal

professors at last Saturday’s
teaching at the University of
Toronto that one of the most
effective ways they could express
their objections to U.S. policy
would be by demonstrating
against the university’s decision
to grant Stevenson a degree.

“Adlai Stevenson’s coming
visit provides Toronto citizens
with a timely and very ap-

DRIVE EXTENDED!

June 12 is closing date

$5,700 still to go

OBJECTIVE
eS

Let’s put
some ‘oomph’
into it!

Day’s pay urged

at this crucial point

We have reluctantly extended the closing date of our
Spring Financial Drive by two weeks, The new date is
June 12, This leaves us just barely two weeks to raise
the $5,700 we still need if we are not going to place the
continued publication of the PT in jeopardy,

Wherever possible—and wherever this has not already
been done—we urge all our readers and friends to donate
a day’s pay to help speed up our drive to victory, In a
sense, we are asking you to work one day for the paper
which works for you all year round, Fair enough?

Of course, many of our faithful supporters have al-
ready made their contribution, To all such, we appeal
to squeeze out an extra dollar or two, if this is at all
possible, If enough people do this, it could make quite a
difference in the final figures.

We would dearly love to announce at our 30th Birth-
day Party on June 12 that ourSpring Drive has gone over
the top this anniversary year, And we believe that
opportunity will be given us by you,

It’s no small task-to come up with $5,700 in two
‘weeks; but it’s an impossible task to publish a newspaper
without funds, As of now, we’ve entered the home stretch
The next two weeks will be decisive, :

We urge you to do your share in helping put.the PT
over the finish line, Act now, and get your neighbors
and friends to do thé same,
