Neutrality Not Enough

L.A. Vancouver, writes: I
wonder if the American people
still think of their country as
the home of democracy? If so
they should look again at what
their government has done and
is doing, and consider the fol-
lowing:

The U.S, government stopped
the Vietnamese people from
having free elections, when such
had been agreed to by interna-
tional convention. The U.S. did
this because the U.S, govern-
ment was already sure that it
would not approve of the candi-
dates that the people of Vietnam
would elect,

U.S. ‘democracy’ then put in
a dictator in South Vietnam. This
because the Vietnam peasants
were dividing up the lands of
absentee landlords, so as to be
sure they and their families would
not starve on the land that they
alone worked — their land.

Now, in order to force the
will of U.S, ‘democracy’ upon
the Vietnamese people, U.S,
‘democracy’ is dropping thou-
sands of tons of bombs and
flaming napalm on everyone in
any village where it is supposed
there may be a few fighting men;
thus killing children, burning the
sick and the aged, women, chil-
dren and babies, indiscrimin-
ately.

They also scatter chemical
poisons from the air on the Viet-
namese crops, thereby hoping to
starve the people into sub-
mission,

All this by a government which
was elected by the
majority ever” of the American
people, so as to make sure that
war would be avoided, and peace
would prevail; a government
which has defied democracy both
outside and within the country
that elected it.

Canada must do nothing that
would even appear to be in sup-
port of these U.S. activities,
Our so-called neutrality by not
actually sending Canadian troops
to date, is not enough.

‘How About The Truth?

PKB, Haney, B.C. sent the
following letter to the ‘Sun,’
‘That paper wanted PKB to know
that his letters “are appreciated
‘by this paper” — but not pub-
lished, We think it has reader
interest, (Ed.)

Why is it that every first of
December you come out with a
sob story about starving child-
ren, and then forget them for
a whole year? And to make your
story more appealing to the
suckers, you print a picture of
a young Korean boy, who is
earning six dollars and sixty
cents a month,

And why is it Mr, Editor that
‘you always pick countries which
are subservient to the western
world?

Is it not a fact that starving
children only come on as a gim-
mick with which to collect money
to be sent to the rulers of those
countries so they in turn can
blackmail their people into obed-
ience, without which they may
decide to take over running of
the country in which they live,
like North Korea, South Viet-
nam, China, etc!

“ereatest ©

Your own paper testified not so
long ago, that in those countries
children are not starving; matter .
of fact, according to a story in
your paper, they are well fed,
cleanly dressed and all go to
school!

How is it that people in India
are starving, yet they have less
population than China, China had
bad crop failures not so long ago,
yet they bought wheat from
Canada and no one starved there,

Why not tell Canadian people
the truth for once, why people
are starving in India, South Am-
erica, South Korea, and thou-
sands of homeless children in
South Korea and South Vietnam
and in the Dominican Republic?

You know the truth, why not
print it for a change? Every
country which is run by people,
their children come first, edu-
cation of children comes next,
and if they are short of food they
all tighten their belts and no
one starves!

Take A Second Look

John Tanche, White Rock, B,C,
sent the following letter to U.S.
President L.B. Johnson, We are
sure ‘PT’ readers willagree with
the sentiments expressed by Mr.
Tanche,

I have been at an end tounder-
stand your motivation in trying
to destroy the people of Vietnam,
whose moral ethics are far more
human than the ones you want to
impose on them, :

Your America may be a great
nation to your eyes, but to many
others it lacks a conscience, and
no nation can live with itself
forever without a conscience,

You are trying to decimate a
nation, The Vietnamese who

Same a:

are united like no other nation
ever was to protect its freedom
from your greedy monopolies
that you want to impose on them,
as you are trying to impose on
the rest of the world,

Tf ever there was a nation
dedicated to its people’s wel-
fare embodying the Golden Rule
the Vietnamese are that,

What sort of a president are
you? Are you going to go down
in history as the last president
of the U.S.A. that tried to use
force, violence, deceit, to subju-
gate all nations of the world to
your dictate?

To the measure of your vio-
lence there will be opposed an-
other measure of violence,

There have been in the past,
all sorts of dictators throughout
the world Mr. Johnson, all have
tried to rule by the sword, and
have perished by the sword, and
the American nation will not be
immune to the fate that befell —
other dictatorial nations,

When you kneel and pray to
God, think of the misery that
you are bringing to the people
of Vietnam, to the mothers of
your own country, after you have
assured them of your peaceful
intentions that was instrumental
in assuring your presidency for
another term,

We who are opposed to blood-
shed, lies, and deceit, as you
practice, ask you to take a second
look on what you are doing, and
make a New Year’s resolution
towards ending the Vietnamese
war ten thousand miles away
from your shores, and let the
Vietnamese run their ° country
as they wish,

Yours .for a world at peace,

War and the people

n World War I the total

number killed was approx-
imately 10 million, 95 percent of
whom were soldiers and five
percent civilians,

In World War II, over 50
million were killed, comprising
almost equal numbers of soldiers
and civilians (52 percent to 48
percent),

During the war in Korea, of
the nine million dead, 84 percent
were civilians and only 16 per-
cent soldiers, |

Sing a song of profits,
Pockets full of cash,

Four-and-twenty magnates,
Out to cut a dash;

Owners of some oil wells,
Armaments and banks,

Over-dressed and over-fed,
Over-weening Yanks,

Sing a song of stooges,
Slick and highly placed,
Worshipping the dollar,
Bowing from the waist;
Helping big monopolies
To sneak into our shores,
Pawning our young manhood
In their dirty wars,

Nursery Rhyme

Sing a song of workers
(Pockets full of what?),
Slaving for the master
Sweated, starved and shot;
Making all the good things,
Getting all the dross;
Isn’t that a dainty dish
To set before the boss?

Sing a song of struggle,
Organize and plan,
My sisters and my brothers,
Comrades to a man;
Build a new world order,
Never count the cost;
Everything to profit us,
Nothing to be lost,
