They carried placards reading: ‘‘Out of Vietnam’’, ‘Out of Cambodia’, ‘“‘Withdraw U.S. Troops,” “End Vietnam War,”’ ‘Out Now— U.S. Troops.” A statement handed out to the public by the B.C. Peace Council, which sponsored the protest, said: “President Nixon has extended the war into Cambodia and resumed bombing of North Vietnam. He promised to withdraw troops — instead he sends them into Cambodia. He promised to end the war — instead he escalates it.”’ Pointing to External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharpe’s statement-which ‘‘deeply regrets that the American government has considered it necessary to take this step,”’ the leaflet says this is not enough. It calls on Canada to cease sending arms and ammunition to the U.S. for use in Vietnam and Cambodia and calls for the immediate PRESS DRIVE HIGHLIGHTS Spanish Civil War veteran and old time PT supporter, Mike: Stevens raised $325 in the PT Press Drive in honor of Lenin’s Centenary. ‘ Mike’s own comment: ‘‘This is my way of celebrating Lenin’s birthday.” This makes Mike number one on the totem pole in the Pacific - Tribune sustaining fund drive for $18,000. **K* The number of supporters who have pledged to raise $100 or more (Honor Press Builders) during the Drive, now stands at 24.

Meeting Tuesday night the Van- couver Labor Council adopted a strong resolution condemning the U.S. aggression against Cambodia and called for the complete withdrawal of foreign troops from Southeast, Asia. (See full story on page 12). The B.C. Peace Council has sent a wire to Prime Minister Trudeau which said: ‘Shocked at invasion of Cambodia by U.S. troops. Urge you immediately condemn this new escalation with its threat of global disaster. American, Cambodian and Vietnamese lives can best be protected by withdrawing all U.S. troops from Indochina immediately.” An appeal for action to compel immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Cambodia, and stop U.S. imperialism from engulf- ing the whole of Southeast Asia in flames, was made by Nigel Morgan, Provincial leader of the Communist Party, at public meetings in Vernon’ and Kamloops last weekend. Morgan said, “‘the invasion. of Cambodia was an extension of the U.S. policy of forcing upon a people a government that will satisfy. the greed of U.S. imperialism for resources, ‘markets and slave labor. . . itis the same policy which has already resulted in three million casualties and costs of over seventeen thousand million dollars in South Vietnam ... and with disastrous con- Sequences for the U.S. and Canadian economies.” | Lenin fete hears Rush Maurice Rush, PT editor, told a capacity audience of 250 at the Ukrainian Hall in Vancouver last Saturday that Lenin’s teachings are valid today and are a guide to progressive people everywhere in finding solutions to today’s complex problems. Rush said the recent escalation of the war into Cambodia by U.S. President Nixon was an example of the desperate action imperialism takes to try and perpetuate its system. ‘‘Imperialism has unleased two major world wars and many smaller wars, and now is threatening world pease with its expansion of the war in South Ease Asia,”’ Rush said. Pointing to Lenin’s emphasis on peaceful co-existence; Rush said peace loving people everywhere must take action to force President Nixon to end the war in Indo China and withdraw all U.S. troops now. ‘‘Peaceful co-existence means that the people must impose peace on the imperialists and to stay their hand,” said Rush. The banquet, called to celebrate the Centennial of Lenin’s birth, adopted a motion to wire Prime Minister Truduea demanding that Canada condemn the U.S. invasion of Cambodia and call for the immediate withdrawal of all - U.S. troops from South East’ Asia.
