Peace Mobilization
April 4 -6, 1969
i . "The South-Vietnam National Front for Liberation
has come to the Paris Conferencé with a serious attitude and
the goodwill to find a political solution to the South-Vietnam
problem, which would bring real independence and freedom to our
people. The key problem is that the United States must totally
and unconditionally withdraw its own troops as well as those
of its satellites from South-Vietnam. This is a legitimate
demand, fully consistent with right and morals, with the interests
of the Vietnamese and the American peoples.
"Ip the Nixon administration really wants to end the
war in Vietnam, we are ready to talk with it. But if it
continues to nurture its designs of dominating our country,
the people and National Front for Liberation of South-Vietnam
cannot bt continue their just fight, until real independence
and freedom are won. Throught the current offensive by the ,
armed forces of the NLF backed by the South-Vietnam population,
once more the South-Vietnam population are voicing firmly
their legitimate right to self-defen-e, the right to self-
determination of anys:lf-respected people who refuse to be
subdued by violence.
"The honorable way for the United States government
is not to pursue an inhumane and costly war, which impairs the
prestige of the United States, but to put an end to this war,
and repatriate all the G.I.s. The United States government
must be held responsible before the American people for
squandering the GI's lives in South-Vietnam.
"I wish your march and rally the best successes. On
this opportunity, I wish to express out indignation at the new
base act of repression by the Nixon administration, in indicting
Dave Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis and five other friends,
in an attempt to stamp out the anti-war movement in the United
States. People who are demanding an end to the war, an end to
the slaughter of Vietnamese children, are not guilty. Guilty
are precisely those who, in the name of. the American nation, are
daily raining napalm to incinerate South-Vietnamese children. We
fully support your courageous fight against war, poverty, racism,
for a healthier society worthy of the fine traditions of freedom
and justice of the American nation. I send you my best greetin,
| for solidarity. *
