President Nixon’s propaganda offensive”, the token withdrawals of troops and the phony peace” stand, are meant only to gain time and side-track the growing anti-war movement. His recent speech is a threat of prolonged war, and is unacceptable to the majority of people. Around the world, millions of people will be marching on November 15 in protest against the war. One of these will be Toshiake Yokayama, member of the Japanese parliament and for many years general secretary of the Railway Workers - Union. He was in Toronto last August and issued an appeal to Canadian labor leaders and union members: “I urge the Canadian labor movement to join in the world fall actions against the Vietnam war. The main force of the peace movement in Japan is the labor movement. This November millions of Japanese trade unionists will strike for higher wages and march against the war. It is a matter of world Survival that labor join together at this time to act. Join us in your own way to rid the world of war.” He spoke of the rapidly increasing cost-of-living as a result of the expenditures on the Vietnam war. In Canada too, the war is a major cause of the inflation that makes a farce of our wage gains. : In the United States the Alliance for Labor Action endorsed the Viet- nam Moratorium. Already New York City trade unionists have booked 300 buses for the March on Washington and thousands are expected from across the country. The Winnipeg convention of the New Democratic Party expressed support for the Nov. 15 protest. T.C. Douglas, N.D.P. leader, gave his support, saying, “I do send my good wishes for the success of your Mass March and Rally and my congratulations to the Vietnam Mobilization Committee for undertaking this demonstration.” The Vancouver. and District Labor Council has endorsed the Vietnam protest as have many locals and leaders in Toronto and other centers. Dennis McDermott, Canadian director of the United Auto Workers will be one of the speakers at the Toronto rally. Join the labor contingent at the November 15 March. Join the world protest to end the war in Vietnam. Demonstrate for withdrawal of all — troops and an end to Canada’s complicity. Come and bring your ‘amily. These labor leaders have endorsed the Nov. 15 protest.
