To reach $40,000, another $10,000 is required. Of this $7,500 can be found in as yet unfulfilled club pledges. In Vancouver there is still $2,500 in outstanding quotas; on Vancouver Island, $1,600 is still to come; from North Fraser region there is $1,130 remaining on club quotas. Another $1,500 must come from clubs in the miscellaneous On top of that we will still need close to $4,000 — providing every Two weeks remain and we have already matched last year’s record achievement. But this last $10,000 will be the toughest. Let’s siart by making sure that our own clubs fulfill their pledge. If that is done, then start work on the remaining $4,000. * * The Victory Banquet is shaping up to be another good one.

In an interview on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the victory over fascism, broadcast on Soviet television, Pham Van Dong stressed that mankind will forever be grateful to the Soviet people because, ‘‘having made _ in- calculable sacrifices, it created by its victory the conditions for the, formation of the world socialist system, for the mighty upsurge of the national liberation movement in the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, for the rapid growth of the working class movement in capitalist countries. The united might of these three revolutionary streams .now determines the course of the world’s development.” Saying that the Soviet people’s ' victory opened the road to the formation and development of socialist countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, Pham Van Dong stated that the strengthening of the countries of socialism is an important guarantee of universal peace. The Vietnamese people, Pham Van Dong said, took timely .ad- vantage of the favorable conditions that resulted from the victory over fascism, formed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the first socialist state in Southeast Asia, the invincible outpost of the socialist system in this area. Then the Vietnamese people fought against the French colonialists and defeated them.

Mao on Pinochet's By VOLODIA TEITLEBOIM Member, Central Committee, Communist Party of Chile MOSCOW — The attitude of the Pinochet clique on the part of the ruling circles of the People’s Republic of China stands out in strong contrast to the general tendency to isolate the fascist junta internationally. The relations between the PRC and Chilean fascism are becoming ever closer. The blood shed by President Salvador Allende had not yet cooled. The flames of the fire started in the La Moneda Palace by the fascist bombs were still burning. But Peking was already hastening to expel from China the diplomatic mission of the Popular Unity government of Chile headed by Ambassador Armando Uribe so as to make room, as soon as possible, for the fascist repre- sentative of the Chilean junta — General Hernan Iriarte. Thus, Gen. Augusto Pinochet found a zealous ally in the Chinese leaders. As a token of gratitude, Pinochet sent a warm message to Mao Tse-tung, congratulating him on his 80th anniversary two months ahead of the calendar date. While the majority of states which still had their diplomatic missions in Santiago were opening the doors to political refugees, to shelter them, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China was shut tight. Anyone who applied to the Chinese Embassy for political asylum from fascist persecution got a flat refusal. In November, 1974, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the fascist junta and the Ambassador and trade representative of the People’s Republic of China held a conference in Santiago. They dealt not only with trade and economic relations but with political support. Reports from Santiago indicate that a delegation from Peking will visit the Chilean capital this year. side Pinochet and his accomplices | looking forward to a com) hensive long-term agreememl , economic and techil, ' cooperation being signed “} Peking.
