Non-Alignment for India

The policy of non-alignment
being pursued by the Indian
‘government is vitally indis-
pensable to India and aids
the cause of world peace,
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru told a session of the
national committee of the
Congress Party of India, meet-

- ing in Delhi recently.

Non-alignment is the main
principle of India’s foreign
policy, and will never be ab-
andoned, Nehru declared. —

_ Nehru pointed out that the
most reactionary and conser-
vative forces in India are ad-
vocating war against China
and opposing the policy of
non-alignment, economic
planning and socialism.

International problems,
however, should be decided
not by war but through nego-
tiation, he emphasized. We
must put an end to war.

There is no place for it in
the world, the prime minister
asserted.

Venezuela forgery hit

The Communist Party of
Venezuela has exposed as a
forgery a document attribut-
ed to its central committee

LEFT TOPS POLLS
IN CHILE VOTE

Chile’s left-wing Popular Ac-
tion Front, which ‘includes the
‘| Communists, polled 28 per-
cent of the total vote in last
week’s municipal elections, it
was announced in Santiago.
| This compares with 22 per-
fcent for the Christian Demo-
erats, 21 percent for the Ra-
dicals, and 12% percent for
the right-wing Liberals.

The Communists on_ their
own polled 12.37 percent of
the total.

“and publicized by the count-

ry’s ministry of internal af-
fairs.

‘A statement circulated in-
ternationally by the party’s
central committee contains
the text of a‘ letter written by
its general secretary, Jesus
Faria, and published in the
daily newspaper, Clarin.

Faria’s letter states that
“those fragments (of the doc-
ument publicized by the FBI
as well as the Venezuelan po-
lice) do -not belong to any
document originating in our
party.” The false document al-
legedly accused “most Com-
munist parties outside the so-
cialist world” of “advancing
a policy of opportunism and
ideological regression.”

Franco shoots CP leader

Julian Grimau, leading
- Spanish Communist, was ex-
-ecuted by a Franco firing

squad last weekend despite —

world-wide protest against the
death sentence.
Grimau was very ill. The

__ left side of his face was shat- |
tered in the fascist torture
chamber and his body -was_

partly paralyzed,

recently wrote Franco urging
the death Sentence against
Grimau be withdrawn, but
this appeal was ignored. So-

_ Viet lawyers also sent a tele- s

gram to. Captain-general Gar-

cia of the First. Military Dis-

trict in Madrig demanding
hospital care for Grimau and
the transfer of his case to a
civilian court.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev

The Spanish Communist
Party in a leaflet distributed

in Madrid before the execu--~

tion said that ‘Franco and his
lieutenants are planning to
murder Grimau in the hope
of cowing the people.”

_ “But nobobdy and noth-
ing,”

the leaflet adds, ‘can
now prevent the millions of

- Spaniards from rising to ov-

erthrow the tyranny.”
Adding its protests against
the death sentence of Grimau
last week were the delegates
to the British Communist Par-
ty convention meeting in Lon-
‘don, who demonstrateq in
front of the Spanish embassy.
Charges which were heard

_by a military court arose out
_ of Grimau’s part in the Civil —

War.

U.S. unions urge JFK
defend Negro rights

A powerful segment of Ameri-
can organized labor — the mil-
lion-strong United Auto Workers
‘— has joined the fight for the
right of harassed Mississippi
Negroes to register to vote.

In similar mood the AFL-CIO

in Michigan, with 750,000 mem-
bers, states, through its three
top officials, that it decries the
racist. attacks in Birmingham,
Alabama.
_In a ttekegram to President
Kennedy, UAW President Walter
Reuther demanded ‘“‘affirmative
action’’ to protect ‘‘these people
(who) are being denied any pro-
tection by local and state au-
thorities.”’

The message urged ‘‘prompt
federal protection for American
citizens besieged in Greenwood,
Mississippi, for no offense other
than their efforts to register so
they may discharge their citizen-

Terrorists of the Quebec libera-

harm to democratic nationalist

Quebec leader of the Communist
Party, told the Tribune last week.

He was referring to the rash
of bombings and _ telephoned
threats which resulted in the ar-
rest of 15 men at the Easter
weekend. :

Both mass nationalist and
Communist movements have vig-
orously repudiated efforts to link
them with the terrorist activity.
“There is no justification what-
soever,”’ said Walsh, ‘‘for terrorist
methods in French Canada_ in
order to achieve full national self
determination. What is needed. is
‘unity of the“labor and national-
‘ist movements in mass sruggle.”’

Police on three levels — civic,
provincial and

out the terrorist activity, arrested
15 persons last week and seized
equipment such as_ typewriters,
but released 10 of the arrested

“T urge your immediate atten-
tion and affirmative action to
protect the right to register and
vote in Greenwood, Mississippi,”’
Reuther told the White House,
“for such right is no less sacred

than the right to enter the uni- —

versity of his choice which you
protected for James Meredith.”

statement of Jan. 12, 1963 Liberal
leader Lester Pearson committed
__ his party to support of a policy
~~ of providing Sucipge bombs for
the CF-104. ‘

‘The force and its targeting
would be under control of NATO’s
supreme commander U.S. Gen.
Lyman Lemnitzer, and its nu-
clear strike power would, as one
report put jt, ‘“‘in all likelihood”
be under the control of the U.S.

The U.S. has heen pressuring
with NATO. for such a force ever
since the Anglo-American Nassau
Pact last December which result-

ed in the scrapping of the Sky- |

bolt as Britain’s mainstay in de-
veloping its own ‘‘independent”’
nuclear force. ;

The speed with which the Liber-
als are moving to force nuclear
indicates,
that unless public opinion _ pre-

vents it, the Liberals can be ex-

pected to be ready to accept this
next-step process when they host
‘their cold war allies in Ottawa
next month.

tive Charles Diggs, a Negro, was
an overnight guest —. brought
angry protests from Michigan’s
AFL-CIO.

In Birmingham, ‘‘a subjugated
minority are fighting for their
most minimal rights as human
beings,’’ says the statement, il-
lustrating that “in some __ in-
stances we cannot allow our
states and local communities to
sit in sole judgement of their
affairs — to violate the laws of
our Jand.”’

The statement blasted charges
by police and other officials,
such as Birmingham's. Mayor
Arther Hanes, that citizens de-
fending their rights are. ‘‘com-
munists turning peaceful citizens
into raw savages.”

“This is said to justify the
savage treatment of human be-
ings by these same - officials,’
warned the labor body. ‘‘These
Negroes fighting for their rights
to equality of citizenship de-
serve the full support of all our
citizens in every way we can
conceivably give it.’””
