Peace Mobilization
April 4 - 6, 1969
"At the conference table, the delegate of the United
States government has repeatedly stated about the American will
to "search peace" in South-Vietnam, but in fact, since President
Nixon took office, his administration has been pursuing and
even intensifying the United States war of aggression in South-
Vietnam. At present, the total effectives of United States,
satellite and Saigon troops have been brought to some 1,500,000
men. The number of flights and the quantity of bombs :dropped
by B.52s on heavily populated areas, resulting in mass-massacre
of civilians, have increased at least by a half as compared with
the previous time, with a daily average of about 1,500 tons. In
towns still temporarily occupied by them, the United States and
the Saigon administration are intensifying the repression of
those who are demanding independence and peace, regardless of
their social belonging: students, intellectuals, buddhists...etc...
"Facts in South-Vietnam prove that the Nixon adminis-
tration is still reluctant to give up its wicked designs to
maintain at any cost the warlike and rotten Thieu-Ky-Huong
administration in order to realize its ambition of dominating
our country. Recently the United States government'has stated
many times about the treed of so-called "private talks,” as if that
is the key for a solution to the Vietnam problem. Acting on
orders of the United States, the head of the Saigon administration
Nguyen-van-Thieu has voiced his demand for private talks with the
NLF, But at the same time, he declared his "opposition to the wit
drawal of United States forces from South-Vietnam" and demanded
the dissolution of the NLF,
¢
"It is obvious that this is not a serious proposal, but
@ mere trick of the Nixon administration, aimed at covering up *
its policy of war intensification in South-Vietnam and coping
with public opinion in the United States and in the world, which
is urging for an end to the war. The important problem does
not lie in the way the talks may be held, privately or in plenary
session, but‘in whether the United States government is willing
to settle peacefully the South-Vietnam problem, on the basis of
the respect of the fundamental national rights of the Vietnamese
people or not. - .
