PEACE COUNCIL CALLS FOR:

World week of solidarity
with people of Vietnam

The World Council of Peace
has called for an “International
Week of Solidarity With the Peo-
ple of Vietnam” beginning Dec,
20, the fifth anniversary of the
founding of the National Liber-
ation Front of South Vietnam,

The action was announced here
by Dr, James G, Endicott, chair-
man of the Canadian Peace Con-
gress, who has just returned
from a meeting of the executive
and presiding committee of the
World Council, held in Sofia,
Bulgaria, November 19-21,

There was general agreement
at the Sofia meeting that the aim
of the U,S, war of aggression
against the people of Vietnam is
to divide Vietnam at the 17th
parallel, occupying the south half
under a U,S, controlled and fin-
anced puppet government and
building huge military bases
there,

What the U.S, government is
in fact demanding is the uncon-
ditional surrender ofthe National
Liberation Front by means of in-
tense military pressure and
behind the smoke-screen of “un-
conditional discussions” which
would not include the National
Liberation Front,

There was also general agree-
ment at Sofia that the U,S. gov-
ernment has repeatedly refused
meaningful negotiations and as
in the case of the U-2 incident
and the Bay of Pigs fiasco of
1962, the U.S. government is
being caught in falsehoods,

A similar position was outlined
by the representatives of Hanoi
and the National Front at the
meeting in Sofia, They willnever
surrender to U,S, military pres-
sure, They are prepared to dis-
cuss a political settlement at
any time on the following basis:

1,/.-The: U.s, government
should solemnly declare its ad-
herence to the Geneva Agree-
ments of 1954 and that it re-

spects the right of the Vietna-

mese people to independence,
sovereignty, unity and terri-
torial integrity,

2. To demonstrate its sin-
cerity the U.S, government would
stop its war of destruction against
the Democratic Republic of Viet-
nam, which is a sovereign and
independent government,

3. The U.S. government
should recognize that the Na-
tional Liberation Front is the
only authentic representative of
the people of South Vietnam and
should cease to send troops to
Vietnam and proclaim its will-
ingness to withdraw all military
forces and bases,

Commenting on the visit of U.S,
defence secretary Robert Mc-
Namara to Saigon, Dr, Endicott
said that it will likely be followed
by a large scale escalation ofthe
war, This will not break the
will of the Vietnamese people,
but it may hasten the day when
the socialist bloc will start rather
massSive aid to Vietnam.

The presidential committee of the
World Council of Peace has awarded
a Frederic Joliot-Curie gold peace
medal to Dr. James Endicott, chairman
of the Canadian Peace Congress.
Other recipients include Martin Nie-
moller, Linus Pauling and Valentina
Tereshkova.

Chinese stand hurts
anti-imperialist front

The Communist Party, in a
statement issued by its national
executive on Nov, 26, said it
“deplores” the. position taken
by the Chinese publications
Hongqi and Renmin. Ribao in a
recent editorial entitled “The
CPSU new leadership’s harangue
on ‘unity of action’ rebuffed.”

“This editorial rejected the
need for united action of all
Communist and Workers Parties
against the common enemy —
imperialism in general and U.S,
imperialism in particular and in-
stead undertook a bitter attack on
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union,” said the Canadian state-
ment,

“Such a position can only wea-
ken the anti-imperialist front at
a time when it needs decisive

strengthening to ensure all-out
solidarity in support of the heroic
peoples of Vietnam and all peo-
ples striving for national liber-
ation and the curbing of U,S,
aggression,

“Our party is firmly convinced
that what unites all Communist
and Workers Parties is greater
than what divides them at the
present time, This should be the
starting point for united action
against imperialism by all par-
ties,

*It is our hope that the Com-
munist Party of China will recon-
sider the position taken by the
above publications and together
with all parties strengthen the
common front against imper-
ialism and for peace and social
progress,”
