“The main obstacle to victory

Now is the intervention of the U.S. government. I am here to alert the People of Canada to this possibili- ty,” she said. _The U.S. has doubled military aid to the junta in recent days and last week 500 ex-Somozan national Suards were transported from the USS. to join the junta’s forces.

Further intervention could take two forms, said Sandborn. The first possibility is through the Manipulation of the Organization of American States (OAS) for a Multinational expeditionary force to be sent in the country.

_Themore serious threat is that of direct U.S. intervention with U.S. Soldiers and equipment. ‘‘Direct intervention from the U.S. would transform the war in El Salvador into a regional conflict throughout Central America,’’? Sandborn warned, ;

population. We want a sovereign, independent, non-aligned govern- ment,’ she said.

“We are asking the Canadian people for solidarity to impede U.S. intervention.”

She asked for pressure on the Canadian government to ‘‘take a clear and firm position against any US. intervention in El Salvador”’ and for the breaking of diplomatic ties with the junta and the establish- ment of relations with the FDR.

Sandborn acknowledged that the honorary counsel of El Salvador to~ Canada ‘based in Toronto had resigned his post and declared his support for the revolu- tion. The report was still uncon- firmed Monday.

Also present at a press con- ference hosted by the Central America Support Committee was United Church Minister John Hilborn, one of six Canadians who travelled to El Salvador in early December to attend the funeral of, the six slain FDR leaders.

Hilborn confirmed the state of war in the country, pointing out that 12,000 people fell victim to tion squads alone in 1980, apart

from deaths in actual combat bet- ween the junta and the FMLN.

Hilborn criticized the news reports reaching Canada through U.S. news agencies and Canadian news services as well which distort the situation in El Salvador and at- tempt to portray the junta as a moderate force between two ex- tremes. ‘‘There was no question in our minds that the junta and the para-military right are one in the same,”’ he said.

“You can see resentment grow- ing daily.in EkSalvador. The day is past for negotiations. The only solution now is the present conflict,’ he said.

In a late report from El Salvador, the political and diplomatic commission of the FDR, responded sharply to recent statements by U.S. ambassador to El Salvador Robert White that “the U.S. will not tolerate the im- plementation of a marxist-leninist dictatorship in El Salvador.”’

The FDR leadership responded that White’s statements were “simplistic and malicious’. They recalled that the U.S. had used similar identications of liberation movements as a prelude to military

intervention. Such was the case in Guatemala in’ 1963, Dominican Republic in 1964and Chile in 1973, the statement said.

‘The ambassador pretends to be unaware of the principles we have pledged to defend, namely: pluralistic majority rule, the respect of private enterprise willing to par- ticipate in national reconstruction, and non-alignment in foreign policy.”

The political and diplomatic commission of the FDR is a seven person leadership body headed by Guillermo Manual Ungo. Ungo told reporters in Mexico City last week that a revolutionary democratic government was in for-

_mation in El Salvador. ‘‘We will

not be a government in exile,”” he said.

It is expected that when the new government is established several countries will break relations with

the junta and establish relations.

with the new regime.

The new government’s social and economic program envisages sweeping social reform based on a large scale land reform and na- tionalization of banks and foreign multinationals.
