"a shlning example for the anti-im-perialist struggle of all oppressedpeoples and oppressed nations of theworld and a great contribution to thecause of the people of the worldfighting against U.S. imperialism indefence of world peace." I{e alsoexpressed firm belief that "the Viet-namese people will win and U.S. im-perialism will be defeated."

Supporting the Arab People'sStruggtaThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs

in a statement issued on May 17pledged support for the Arab coun-tries and p,eople in their struggleagainst U.S. imperialism, West Ger-man militarism and Zionism. Thestatement pointed out that the Bonngovernment's establishment of diplo_matic relations r,r'ith Israel at U.S.imperialist instigation was a newprovocation against the Ar.ab people.

On May 13, Lhe Govelnment ofWest Germany, disregarding thestrong opposition of the Arab people,

brazenl;' established full diplomaticrelations r,vith Israel. The statementsaid: "This is a new provocationagainst the Arab people by WestGerman militarism and Zionism atU.S. imperialist instigation; it is alsoa grave provocation against the peo-ple of Asia, Africa and the rvholer,r,orld. "

The st.atement noted that, in pr-ir-suance of the March 15 decision ofthe emergency meeting of the Cor,rncilof Ar.ab Foreign Ministers, nine Arabcountries

- the United Arab Repub-iic. Syria, Iraq, Algeria, Yemen,Sudan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia andLebanon

- had broken off diplomaticrelations with West Germany, andKuwait had indefinitely postponedimpiementation of its agreement with

West Germany on the establishmentof diplomatic relations. "This,,, thestatement said, "is a forcefui counter-blou, dealt by the Arab countries atthe provocative action of U.S. impe-ri.alism and West Germany. A newwave of struggle against U.S. im-perialism is rising throughout theArab worId."

The statement pointed out that theaim of U.S. imperialism in rearingand arming Israel was to threatenth,e independence and security of theArab countries. West German mili-tarism. u,hich h.as also been fosteredby U.S. imperialism, is supplyingarms to Israel at Washington's behest.West Germany's establishment ofdiplomatic relations rvith Israel,planned directly by U.S. imperialism,was another grave step taken byWashington after a series of its actsof aggression had faiied.

Peking Reuiero, No, 21

Praising the Arab people for theirdetermined struggle against U.S. im-periaiism, West German militarismand Zionisrn, the statement expressedconfidence that "the Arab people,supported by the people of othercountries. will win final victory solor-rg as they strengthen their unityand persist in their struggle."

Vilificalion by Tunisian President

Refuted

Tunirsian President Habib Bour-guiba has recently made repeatedstatements u,hich constitute seriousinterference in China's internalaffairs and vile calumny against theChinese people. The Chinese Gov-ernment stronglS,- protested againstthis on May 13 in a note handed byChinese Ambassador to Tunisia YaoNien to Tunisian Secretary of Statefor Foreign Affairs Habib Bourguiba.Jr.

The note said: "In a lecent inter-view rn,ith a co'respondent of theFrench paper Combat. PresrdentBourguib.a has declared: 'We rec-ognize that the government of thedemo,cratic China occupies Chineseterritory. But u,e do not accept norrecognize that Formosa should bea"bsorbed and that. after the depar-ture of the Americans, the Chineseof Formosa should be obliged to be-come Communists."'

"Earlier," the note continued, "inan inten,iew u,ith a UPI correspoi-rd-ent on January 16, President Bour-guiba said that China 'has alwaysused the cioak of nationalism in itsattempt to nibbie away and gainterritory under the pretext of fight-ing against imperialism.' He a,1so

asserted in a speech on February 12

that China's 'opp.csition' to 'peacafulcoexistence' was the 'fundamentalcause of the present situation inSoutheast Asia' and that 'the maior-ity of the Chinese in Forn-Losa refuseto live under the communist regirleand have aske,C for United Statesassistance to protect their territory.'In an intervierv with American jour-nalists on April 18, the TunisianPresident presented the Viet Namquestion as a 'kind of sequel to theco,id war fostered by internationalcommunism, especially Chi.na.' Heslanderously accused China of 'try-

May 21, 1965

ing by all kinds of pretexts to im-pose its hegemony on Asia."'

Refuting such vilification, the Chi-nese Government's note pointed outthat "the Province of Taiwan, whichis now occupied by the armed forcesof the United States, is, from thepo.int of view of history, and de jureand de facto, an integral part of theterritory of the People's Republic ofChina. The Chiang Kai-shek cliquewhich has entrench,ed itself onTaiwan is merely a contemptibleband of traitors leading a precariousexistence under the protection ofU.S. imperialism. The Chinese peo-ple are determined to li.berate Tai-wan, and this li.beration is er-rtirelyChina's internal affair and no foreigninterference wiil be tolerated."

The note dlerv attention to the factthat the origin of the tense Viet Namand Southeast Asia situation -was tobe found in U.S. intervention andaggression. After scrapping theGeneva agreements, U.S. imperialismhas sent ground, naval and airforces to occupy south Viet Nam andhas savagely bombed north Viet Nam,unscrupulcusly extending the \1:arin Indo-China. The note declared:"It is regrettable that. instead ofsupporting the Vietnamese people intheir fight against U.S. aggression andfor nat-ional sair.ation. President Bour:-guiba should have, at this juncture,sl.andered China an,C openly exon-erated U.S. irnperialism." The notesaid that this was an intolerabledistorticr-r of the truth about the \rietNam question and that it u,as aseLt,ice to the policies of agglessionand war of U.S. imperiaiism.

The note reaffirn-red that Cl-rina,as a signaLory to the 1954 Genevaagreements and a ciose neighbour' offraterr-ral Viet Nam, would. do all itcould to give firn-r and unreservedsupport to the Vietnamese people intheir great struggle against U.S.aggression and for national salvation.

Stressing that China had alwaystreasured Sino-Tunisian friendship,tire note expressed the sincere hcpethat tire Tur-risian Government rvouldadopt a correct attitude favourableto the development of friendly rela-tions betr,veen the two countries so

as to contribute to the commoncause of promoting Afro-Asian so1-

idarity in the fight against impe-rialism, colonialism and neo-colo-nialism.

Chino Successfully Explodes AnotherAtom BombPress Communique

C HINA exploded another atom bomb over its r.;ester,n\J ar-eas at 10:00 hours (Peking time) on NIay 14, 1965,and thus successfully concluded its second nuclear test.

Foltorving on the explosion of China's first atombomb on October 16. 1964, this nuclear test is anotherimpor-tant achieveme.qt scored by the Chi.nese people instrengthening their national defence and saf,eguardingthe sec-uu'ity of their mother'land and world peace.

Undel the. iearlership of the Communist Party' ofChina, ihe Chinese Pecple's Liberation Ar-my andChina's scientists and technicians have rvholehearledi-'-lvorked together to ensure the complete success of thisnucleal test. It is a great victory for the Party's generalline of socialist construction. It is a gre:rt r.ictor')' forNIao Tse-tung's thinking.

The Centlal" Committee of the Communist Part;,' oIChina and the State Council extend their rrarm conqrat-ulations to all the comm:lnders and fighters of thePeople's Liberation Army who took part in this test.and to ail the workers. enginccrs. techr-ricians. scientistsand othel personnel rvho contributed to it, and hopethat they will redouble their elforts and continue tovzork tirelessly for the furthel strengthening of ourcountry's defences.

China is conducting necessary nuclear tests withindefined iimits and is developing nuclear r,veapons forthe purpose of coping with the nuclear blackmail andthreats of the United States and for the purpose of abo-lishing all nuclear $re.apons. When China exploded itsfirst atom bomb, the Government of the People's Repub-lic of Chlna issued a statemen+" ri'hich containe'd a fullexplanation of our fundamental stand on nuciear weap-ons and a concrete proposal for a summit coi-rference o{ali cotLntlies to discuss the ccml:letc prohibition andthorough destruction of nucleai' weapons.

Since then, the United States has b,een continuingits development and mass production of varioris kindsof n';clear 'weapons. and has iniiulged in further nu-clear blackm,ail and threats againsi China and the wholervorld. China is developing nucLear \veapons solel;z fordefensive purposes. China will never be the first toltse nuclear v"/eapons. It is the sincere hope of theChinese people that thele rvill nevel be a nuclear !vau.Together with ail the peace-lorring ccuntries ancl peopleof the u,or1d, the Chinese Government and peopie wil1,as ahvays, continue to stlive nnsrvervinglv for thr: nobleaim of the complete prohibition aird thorough destruc-tion of nu.clea-r lveapons.

(Hsinhua Neu,s AgencA, MaA 14, 1965.)

\rVonld I'loils Chino's New Nucleor TestrF HE news of China's second nuclear test. which lvasI flashed around the world on May 14, has broughtforth an outpourii-rg of congratuiator;r messages. Thislatest success has been acclaimed as a great inspirationto the rvorld's revolutionary people, a fresh blow toU.S. nuclear blackmail. and a contribution to the safe-guarding of w-orld peace.

Farty and state treaders of the Democratic Republic ofViet Narn Ho Chi Minh, Truong Chinh, ancl Pham VanDong on May 15 sent a joint message to Chinese leadersMao Tse-tung, Liu Shao-chi, Chu Teh and Chou En-iai.The message siated: "At a time lvhen the imperialistsheaded by the United States are intensifying the armsrace, escalating the .war of aggression in south Viet l{am,r'aining destruction on north Viet Nam and carrying onarmed intervention against many other countries. thisnew success of the Chinese pecpie has elated us, theVietnamese people, and other peace-ioving people theu.orld over." The Vietnamese leaders described Ciri.na's

ner,y nur:lear test as "an extremely important factor incurbing the ti.S. imperialist schemes of war and ag-gression and an added guarantee for the nationai in-dependence of the people of ail countries and forsafeguardinq world peace.,,

Party and state leaders of the Democratic people,s Ee-public of Korea Kirn Il Sung and Choi yong Kun, intheir XtIa;, 1.7 telegram to Chinese leaders Mao Tse-tung. Liu Shao-chi, Chu Teh anci Chou En-lai, declat.ed:"The nuclear test conducted successfuliy in China re-cently is another brilliant victory tvon by the fraternalChinese people, under the leadership of the ChineseCommunist Party, in the struggie for the soci.aiist con-structicn of the country and sti'engthening of the de-fence capability by dispia-yi.ng the revoluticnary spiritof self-reii.ance and creative enthusiasm,

tion evelywhere in the wor1d, and a great inspiration tothe peopies of the countties of the socialist camp andthe people fighting for. natioiral independence and\A.'or'ld peace."

The Albanian paper "Zeri i Popullit,, on May 10editolially pointed out that by its achievements in thedevelooment oI atcmic weapons which broke the U.S.nuclear monopoll' and served as a rebuff to \Vashing-ton's nuclear blackmail and threats, China has made agreat contribution to humanity and the cause of safe-guarding freedom and peace. The paper said China'snuclear success "not oni-v strengthens the defencecapability of the People's Republic of China, but helpssafeguard rvor'1d peace because it serr;es a new u'arningto the imperialist aggressors headed by the UnitedStates and to all its allies."

The Presidium of the Central Committee of the Jap-anese Ccmmunist Party in a statement released on Ma;,15 said that China. confronted by the U.S. policy ofnuclear rvar and blackmail. had condr-rcted its seconc'lnuclear test of a def ensir-e nature lvith a view tosafeguarding lts or,r.n security and world peace.

After making public the presidium's statement inFarty headquartei's u'here he uret the press. Secretary-General Kenji Miyamoto made the lollolving points inanswer to questioi-rs pr-rt b1' repolters: "Khrushchov saidit ri'ould be absurrd for countries other than the SovietI-ini<;n, the United, States and Britain to squandc'r- largesums of money and a lalge amount of ener-gy to developnuclear weapons. Sr,ich a contention, based as it isupon the desire of the Soviet Union and the UnitedStates for rvorld domlnation. is sheer great-nationchauvinism. It stands to reason that China, which isresolutely confror-riing U.S. imperialist nuclear black-mai1, shouid be making great efforts to develop its ownnuclear weapons."

D.N. Aidit, Chairman of the Ilrdonesian CommunistFarty, told Antara on the night of May 14 that "China'ssuccessful second atom bcmb expiosion sho',vs once againthe might of the People's Republic of China in thestn-rggle against impet'ialism and for peace and rTationalliberation." He said that this "incteases the prestige ofthe new' emerging fot'ces and is a tremendous blorv tothe old establisheci f crces. the United States iirparticular:."

AiCit also declared: "Nuclear weapons in the handsof the imperialists are aimed at increasing the dangerof rvar ancl intimidaling the peoples now struggling fornational independence. On the contrary, nuclearweapons in the hands of the new emelging forces arelor the purpose of strengthening the struggle againstimperialisnr and for peace and national independence."

Nguyen Huu Tho, Fresident of the Presidium of theCentral Conrnrittee of the South Viet Nam NationalFront for Liberatior.r, in a ccngratulatory message toChinese Pariy and state leaders Mao Tse-tung, LiuShao-chi, Chu Teh and Chou En-Iai daied May 15, calledChrna's success ''a great and active contribution to

the cause of defeirding peace and an encouragement tothe revoiuticnary moveir:ent in the world as r,vell as tothe jursL and suLeh, victcrious patriotic str:r-rggle of thescuth Vieinamese people." He -qaid; ,,China's successlulsecond- atom bomb test is a hear,)' blor,t, dealt ai thenuclea.r blackn-rail policy cf ihe U,S. irnperialists and afirm gualantee for the struggle against in.rperiaiism toachieve genulne and lasting peace." The President :rlsosaid: "Tl-re south Vietnantese people are very proud tohave as their heloic comracle-.-in-alms the 650 millionChinese people who have in tireil l.rands nuclearweapcns to strer-rgthen their national defence, therebygreatl5' contributing to the defence of peace in Asia andthe r,,;or'1C. "

Prince Souphanouvong, Chairman of the Central Com-rnittee of the Neo Lao Haksat and Vice-Premier of theLaotian Gor-ernment of National Union, in a message toPremier Chor-r Err-1ai dated NIay 18. saiC. ''This Chineseachievement not only incleases China's defence capabili-ties. but wili play an important part in fulthering theuatiot-ral-iibelatior-r n-rovernent. lncluding our Laotianpeople's struggle to resist U.S. aggre,tsion and save thecourrtr'I'."

Ali Sastroamidjojo, General Chairnran of the [ndonesianNationalist Farty, in a statement to newsmen on May18, said, Thc stccnd nuclear test conducted by China|ecentl.1,- causes both amazernent and admiration thatChina can explode a second atom bomb rvithin so shorta 1inie. '

lndonesian First Deputy Foreign Minister Suw,itonorv visiting Pakistan said in l(arachi on May 15 thaias an Asian he was ploud of China's nerv nuclearsuccess_

In intelvieu's rrith the press prominent Japane.secitizens voiced their suppcrt for China's second A-bombtest.

Yoshitaro Elirano, Chairman of the Japanese NationalPeace Committee, said that the United States had con-c1,,rcted 337 nuclear weapons tests in 1"1 years.

Tep Phan, Cambodian Eoyal Delegate at Phnom Penh.told the press: "We are very glad to hear of this neu,success of our Chinese friends. It is anothel support toCambodia and other countries."

The "Daily News" in Pakistan in its May- 15 editorialwelcomed China's explosion for the reason that theincrease of nuclear weapons in China n-right deter thenuclear threat of the Westel'n po\\-ers. It said, "We,as friends of China, congratulate our Chinese friendson their signal achievemenl. as an Aslan nation of u-hichall Asian nations should be proud.''

Khaled Fahum, Member of the Executir-e Committeeof the Palestine Liheration Organization, on May 15

said that "we hold that China's A-bomb explosionstrengtheneal the force of the p,eoples in fighting forliberation."

Gabriel Yumbu, General Secretary of the SupremeCouncil of Revolution of the Congo (Leopoldville),in a message to the Chairman of the People's Republicof China, said, "Like the Chinese people. the SupremeCouncil of Revclution feels great joy at this successfulexplosion. This achievement is the fruit of the Chinesepeople in their unswerving efforts for safeguardingpeace. Mean'uvhile, this shou,s once again the proglessmade by a free people."

Luis Almeida, Permanent Representative in Algiers ofthe Angola People's Liberation Movement, said on May14 that he rvas very glad to learn that China had car-ried out its second nuclear test. "The Afro-Asian coun-tries are a community rvith a common destiny andChina is our guarantee," he said.

Eduardo M,ondlane, President of the Mozambique Lib-eration Front (Frelimo), said in a statement issued bythe Frelimo Headquarters in Dar-es-Salaam: "Apartfrom its obvious scientific value, the success of theChinese people represents a victory for all freedom-loving people and for those who are under i.mperialistdomination."

Ntsukunyane A. Mphanya, Deputy General Secretaryof the Basutoland Congress Party, told Hsinhua on1\{ay 15 that China's second atom bomb explosion wasa tremendous success. He said, "This is in fact a glory

of the oppressed peoples of the world because I knowthat this bomb will not be used like those in the han'dsof the imperialists, to suppress the progressive move-ment, but for the defence of world peace."

The Pan-Africanist Congress of South Africa in a state-m.ent issued in Dar-es-Salaam on May 15 said: "Nowr,vhen Western imperialist aggression is at its highestpoint, as is evident in the Congo and Viet Nam, it isonly proper that the People's Republic of China shouldhave explcded her second atom bomb which the Pan-Africanist Congress hails on behalf of the oppressedp.eople of South Africa."

Gottfriedt Jario, Acting Bepresentative of the SouthWest African I'.Iational Union in Dar-es-Salaam, con-gratulated the Chinese people on their second nucleartest.

Alfred Kgokong, Director of Putrlicity of the AfricanNational Congress of South Atrica, a1s6 congratulatedthe Chinese Government and people on the nuclear test.

Sow Abdoulaye, President of the Afro-Asian SolidarityCommittee of IIIali, told a Hsinhua correspondent, "I,in the name of the Mali people, rvarmly congratulateyou on this great sllccess ri'hich has strengthened thefoi'ces in defence of peace and our position and hassnrashed the nuclear blackmail of U.S. imperialism."

J, Nquku, President of the Swaziland Progressive Party,said, "We knou, that the Chinese are peace-loving peo-pie and that the Chinese bomb is for defensive pur-poses."

Noted Mexicans congratulated Hsinhua when thenews of the success of China's second atom explosionreached Mexico City.

Luis Torres, Presidenf of the Mexico-China FriendshipAssociation, said, "The explosion is another peace mes-sage that fills us with hope. Undoubtedly, atomicenergy in the hands of the people of a socialist countryis a guarantee for peace."

Andres Garcia Salgado, General Secretary of theMexican Confederation of Bevolutionary Workers, said,"China's control of atomic energy should be regardedas a guarantee for mankind's progress and for peace.It makes the forces which attempt to unleash war re-flect and makes people understand that the peace-lovingforces are strong enough to liquidate them ultimately.,'

Noted woman leader Elena Vazguez Gomez held thatthe second atomic explosion was quite appropriate ata time when the United States u,as unleashing warsin Asia and Latin America.

Famous sculptor Federico Cacessi stated, "When theSoviet Union and the United States have atomic bombs,there is no reason why China, the most populous coun-try in the world, shouid be prevented from possessi.ngthem, and there is no reason why anyone should sayanything against China having them."

" Johnson Doctrin e" ls Neo-HitlerismFollowing is a translation of ,,Renmin Ribao's"

Mag 14 editorial. Bold.face emphases are ours.-Ed.

rfHE Johnson Administration,s armed intelvention inI the Donrir-rican RepubJ.ic and ir.rtensifiecl agqressionagainst Viet Nan-r have served to open the eyes of anincreasingly large number of people. They see that,in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, U.S. imperial-ism is playing the same butcher,s role, suppressing thepeople's revolutionary struggles in various lancls andthrottling other countr.ies' independence and sovereignty.This has fully exposed the aggressive featules of U.S.imperiaiism.

The U.S. aggressors have openI1' sent more than30.000 troops for the srnguinar'5' suppression of theDominican people's f ight against dictatorship andt}'ranny. Casting arva;, all pretence, Johnson brazenlydeclared that "we do know what kind oI gor-elnmentrve hope to see in the Dominican Republic" and thatthe United States "cannot, mrist not, and lvill not pern.ritthe establishment of anothel commluli:st govelnment inthe Western H'emisphere.' This amounts to Johnsontelling the Dominicalr people: We'Il bombard ;rou if -1'oudon't surrender.

These utterances are the same as his sho.uting aboutthe Viet Nam question. Time and again Johnson hasar-gued that the purpose of U.S. aggression against VietNam and its continued u'ar in south Viet Narn t'as toestablish an "independent south Viet Nam." and beforeachieving this, "we cannot, ll,'e must not, we rvl1l nott,ithdraw" and that the United States "must fight" inorder not to hand south Viet Nam over to "communistt1'ranny." So Johnsor-r has been telling the Vietnamesepeopie: We'1i bomb you if -vou don't give in.

In this way, Johnson has proclaimed to the rvholeworld a war program.me to strangle the independenceand freedom and stamp out the revolutionary rnove-ments in varieq5 eountries by force. If the people ofany country dare to stand up for their independenceand sovereignty, or to fight for freedom and liberation,or to rise and resist the traitorous, dictatorial rule ofU.S. puppets, U.S. imperialism will send troops tosuppress thenr and shoot to kill!

This is the "Johnson Doctrine!"

We knou, that in postwar United States there werethe so-calied "Trutnan Dcctrine," "Eisenhower Doc-trine," and "Kennedy' Doctrine." The "Johnson Doc-

trine" is a continuation of the foregoing ,,doctrines,"aI1 of which are plans to carr';,- out the dictates of U.S.monopoly capital and vigorously push the globalstrategy of enslaving the people of the u,hole '"vorld.The ''Johnson Doctrine," however. has outdone theprevious ones. blir-rging the U.S. pollcies of aggressionand u-ar to a poLr-rt mor.e blatant and more sanguinarythan ever.

Johnson has opened up the most blood-thirsty pagein the histor.l' of U.S. imperialist aggression!

In his militar5r aclventures and aggression in VietNam. Johnson has clu'alfed Eisenhouzet- ancl I{enned;2.Eisenhower rigged up the SEATO bloc and fosteredthe Ngo Dinh Dien-r clique; I{ennedy. started the ,,specialwarfare,'' but. r,rting native puppet troops as thevanguard, he nevei. thought of giving up the signboardsof "advisers" and "instructors.,, Now Johnson simplysR-eeps them al1 aside and sends U.S. ground forcesto fight the war. In a short span of tu'o rnonths, thenumbel of U.S. aggressive troops in South Viet Namhas increased foulioiC. In an even more desperatemove, Johnson has used every means in his por,ver toextend the r,var into north Viet Nam. He is turning"speciaL rvarfale' into a legional war.

In unleashing armed aggression to interfere inDon.rinican affairs. Johnson has done what his predece,s_sors dared not do. In invading Cuba. Kennedl, sentrnercenaries mainh, composed of cotnter-revolutionaryCuban gangsters. Nou,, in invading the DominicanRepublic. Johnson has sent tens of thousands of U.S.ground. naval and air force,s in a matter of a few days.

Among postwar U.S. presidents, ro one has beensuch a fanatic about using force as Johnson, and noone made a shorv of force and used fo::ce to such anextent as Johnson irs doing now. He fiagrantly declaredthat "force must often preceCe reason-and the wasteof war. the works of peace." He has turned a ,,cold

lvar" into a "sho,otir-rg war" and "escalated,, the lvarfrom a small scale to a medium scale. threatening tofight on a big scale. He has used every conventional\veapon and threatens to use nuclear weapons.

The road Johnson is travelling is the same roadtravelled by Hitler, and the "Johnson Doctrine" is neo-Hitlerism.

Johnson has picked up the tattered standard ofthe "anti-communist" crusade. Imitating Hitler, heIabels anything not to his liking and anything he

r,vishes to ciestrcly as "comniunist menace" in an attemptto use "anti-corttnunism" as a covel' for hirs crimes ofaggressicn. I-Ie describes the Dominican people's up-rising to topple their dictatol'ial regime as comnr-tnistsu.l:versive activitles. He leiers to the rerroh.rtionarystruggle of the .6111[ Vietnairrese people agairsi U.S'

imperialisrn ar-rd its lackeys as "commrinist aggres-sio.n."

Johnson has brushed aside al1 accepted principlesof intei'r.rational lar,lr. He feels he is not bcund in any.\ /ay by such principle,; as non-interfet'ence in othercountiies' internal affairs, invioiability o{ ten'itory.equality among natious, respect for internationallieaties, freeCom of narzigation on the high seas, pro-hibiticn of the use of poison gas. He has unhesitatinglydeclar'ed the United States' right to decide r.r'hat kindof governrtent should be established in the DominicanRepublic. Arbitraril;r di'ar.ving a line on the map.

John,son has designated Vietnanlese and Chinese telli-tolial u,aters and the adjacent high seas, lr-hich are

thousands of miles away from the United States, as a

U.S. ''combat zone"; he has ordereC '"he intelceptionof other countries' ships and committed all kinds ofcrimes. Hitler once said: "A merit of mine is that Irefuse to be bound by ar-r1- fixe'C ruie of theory or'

ethicrs." He u'as so arrogant as to say: "f have no

scruples and I take advantage of any opportunity that

is available; there is no sttch thing as j'r-rtei'national lawnor is there an5 agreet-irent tl-rat stands in my way'"The cleed of this fascist arch-fiend is the U S' imper:ial-

ist lir-rgleaclel LvnCon Johu,sot-t's gr-ride to actiot-l'

John,son is stepping up the fascization of his coun-

try. Racist persecution of the Negi'o people has

reachecl a new high rvhile the violation of the Ameri-

can people's basic rights has come to a point of mad-

ness. Since the Johnson Adnrinisti:ation recioubled its

efforts to enLarge the rvar of aggression in Viet Nam

and led the United States on to the road of tn'ar adven-

tures. he ha,s beer luthlessl5' tlying to squash viervs

and opinicr-rs opposed to his ott'n' cursing that

demonstlations are ''Communists' subversive

activities" ancl using this as a pretext to further

hls blcccS' su,ppression of the American people'

In the aggression against Viet Nam and the

Domrnican Repubiic, Johnson has acted in such

an overbearing manner that there are $rierr-anc€s and loud complaints even among U'S'

ruiing circles.

The "Johnson Doctrine" is synonymous withthe rnost rabid counter-revolutionary violence; itmeans strangling other eountries' independence

arid sovereignty under the anti-communist banner;it means trampling underfoot all prineiples ofinternational Iaw and furthering the policies ofaggtession and lvar without disguise. In a rvord,the "Johnson Doetrine" is a refurbished versionof Hitlerism; it is neo-Hitlerism; it is U.S. fascismmore reactionary than Hitlerism.

The appearance of the "Johnson Doctrine" rnalksthe bankruptcy of the global sttategy adoptetl hy U.S.imperialism in the postwar years. Af ter assumiugoffice, Johnsoir let it be known that he rvould follcrvthe fo,otsteps of I(ennedy and cling to the lattel'sdouble-dealing poiicy. But Kenned.v's methods can no

longer check the vigorous development of the natlonal-democratic movements in . Asia, Africa and LatinAmerica. ToCay, from Japan to the Coilgo (Leopol'd-

vi11e), from the Caribbean to Cape Hcrn. u'here"'er U'S'imperialism has exteltded its tentacies. there ai'e earth-quakes and thunclerstorms. The militar-v blocs rvl.rich

the United States took pains to rig up aftel WorlC WarII are falling apart and the puppet l'egil.neis rvhich ithas fostered are totteiing. The U.S. aggressors aleheavil)' besieged by the people of the whole rn''or1d andare in a disadvaniageous position beset with great

strategical difficulties. There are breaches in theirfronts of aggression all orrer the r','orld. The fact thatJohnson has to t'al:e his ''big stick" so often simplyshows that he is ptitting up a desperate stluggle andei-rgagecl in a bitter fight, locked in the jarvs of a vice.

The appearance of the "Johnson Doctrine" isclosely connected with the capitulationist line followedby the modern rer-isionists. U.S. imperialism has themeasure of the modern revisionists represented byKhrushchov to an inch. Khrushchov himself and hissuccessols dale nol oftencl U.S. imperialism and theyhold on like grim <ieath to theii so-called general lineof "peaceful coexistence" manifested in ''U.S.-Sovietcollabclaticn to dor-r-rir-rate the world." Just as theappeasement policy of Neville Charnberlain, EdouardDaladier and their foliowers encouraged Germanfascism ir-r the 1930s. the Khrushchovian revisionists'capitulationist lii-re has greatiy encouraged U.S. im-perialist arrogance. Khrushchovian revisionism is thenev,r appeasement poIlcy in the 1960s.

Eut ihe "Johnson Doctrine" cannot save the iife ofU.S. imperialism. Its appearance has greatlv aggravated

the contradiction between U.S. imperialism and itsfiunkeys on the one hand and the revolutionary peopleof the worid and all countries and peoples subjected toU,S. imperialist aggression, control, interference andbullying on the other.

The Johnson Administration is bent on going itsown way; this too has greatly hastened the divisionamong the imperialist biocs and helped the developmentof contradictions betr.veen U.S. imperialism and itssa ieili tes.

Walter Lippmann, the American bourgeois com-mentator. has brought up a realistic question. He asked:"The adCicts of the global and crusading theorl, shouldask themselves h.oi,,,'many more Viet Nams and Dcmini-can Republics theS- are prepared to police.,, This ques-tion is not di{ficult to ansr.ver-. Ali piaces subjected toU.S. imperialist control and interference -,r,i11 l-e likesonth Viet Nan and the Dominican Republic, that is,bogs in l-hich the U.S. aggressors will sink deeper anddeeper. and ncoses t-hich u,i11 get tighter and tighterround their neck-s. The continlieci upsurge of the anti-U.S. struggie of the people of aL1 lands is an inevitabilit;'.The Johnson Administration has appointed itself inter-

national gendarme, but the fact is that while it hasgreat ambition it is short on ability, thus cutting aridicuiours figure because of its lack of seif-knowledge.It rvill, Iike a moih fluttering about the light, burnitself in the flames of the anti-U.S. struggie of the peo_ple of the rvorld.

In his Statement Supporting the Dominican peo-ple's Eesistance to U.S. Armed Aggression, ChairmanMao ?se-tung made another clarion call to the wiroleworltl: "The people in the socialist camp should unite,the people of the countries of Asia, Africa and LatinAmerica should unite, the people of every eontinentshouid unite, a-ll peace-Ioving countries and all coun-tries sutrjected to U.S. bullying, interference, controland aggression should unite, and form the broadestunited front to oppose the U.S. imperialist policies ofaggression and war and to safeguard world peace,"

We are con';inced that this great call by ChairmanMao Tse-tung will further inspire aIl the people of theworld opposing U.S. imperiaiism to close their rankssriil n'rore. reinforce and develop the broadesi possibleunited front against U.S. irrrperiaiism. strike dor,vn thecrcss-bones neo-llitlerite banner of the "Johnson Doc-trine." and completel;- defeat the U.S. aggressors.

Lome Excuses for U.S. Aggressionby COMMENTATOB

Following is an abridc,led translation of the arti.cle"Refuting the AbstLrd U.S. Excttses f or Aggression,Against the Daminican Republic" ptLblished. irt "RenntinRibao" on May 12.

- Ed.

HE Dominican people's struggle against U.S.aggression has ..l,on r,i,orldwide sympathy and

support. To escape condemnation, the Johnson Ad-ministration has made one statement after another inthe pasi fortnight, advancing various excuses for ltsfiagrant acts of aggression.

One of the excuses is "to protect American lives."This is a hackne5red formula. memories of which aresiili fresh ln the minds of peopie. As Nlexican ForeignNlinister Antonio Carrillo Flores so aptiy said: "Wecannct br-rt deplore the step ordered by the U.S. Gov-ernmeirt r,r,hich brought back such painful recollectionsto so many countries in the hernisphere."

It rva-s under this same pretext that the L'l'nitedStates landed troops in Lebanon in July 1958. anci con-ducted armed intervention in Leopcldvilie Congo inNovember 1964. This time 35,000 U.S. troops havebeen landed in the Dominican Republic presumabl-v forthe pr-rrpose of protecting the 3.000 Americans therc..But one rvonders whether it is a case of U.S. troops"protecting" American nationals or one of Americannationals "protecting" ihe land-ing of U.S. troops.

May 21 , 1965

The second excuse is "to save the lives of all(Dominican) people." What a saviour! But no picus-scunding rvords can ret-rite the Dominican people'shistory of blood and tears. Since the beginning of thiscenttrn,. U.S. imperialism has repeatedly occupied thatcountry by force-' of arms. It has brutallv cracked dor,",non thr: ]reople rising in revolution and set up onepllppet regime after another. Now, ever since Johnsonbegan 'sa,ving" the Dominican people with guns andbayonets. the streets of Santo Domingo have beenstained r.l,ith the blood of more than 2,000 insurgenttroops and people. If Johnson's excuse were con-sidered valid, r,,,'ouid not the African countries haveeven greatel justification for landing troops in theUnited States to save their Negro brothers and sisterswhose lives are ah,vays in peril?

The ihird excu.se is "to, maintain larv and order."What has lalv and order in the Dominican Republicgot to do with the United States? Moreover, in so faras law is concerned. the provisional Dominican Gover:n-ment was elected by Congress. As for order, Provi-sional President Francisco Caamano has said: "If theAmericans had not sent armed troops into the Domin-ican Republic there r,vould have been peace and onderhere." So it is clear th.at Jchnson is seeking the "larvand order" that r,vill facilitaie U.S. imperiallst enslave-ment of the rvorld. If such "la-lr' and order" rnrere to

11

prevail, the Dominican people would have no lau' andorder of their own.

The fourth excuse is "to help prevent anothercommunist state in this hemisphere." What kind ofstate the Johnson Administration r,rrants to make of theUnited States of America is no business of any othercountry. But Latin America is not Texas, U.S.A.,and. the Latin American peopie have never giventhe United States the right to plotect them. Whatright then has the United States to play the boss inLatin America? If Johnson's logic were valid, thenwould not the Latin America.n peopie have greaterjustification for sending troops to Washington to helpprevent a new fascist state in the Western Hemisphere?The plain truth is that the United States is using theanti-communist smokescreen to achieve lvorld hege-mony and enslave the people of all countries.

The fifth excuse is that "to yield to aggressionbrings oniy greater threats" and that "the consequence

has been more bloodshed and wider war." Thisreminds one of Hitler's outcries more than 20 years

ago. While serrding troops to Czechoslovakia's border,Hitier clairrred that it was because Czechoslovakia

"posed a threat" to "peace in Europe." He called the

Nazi German troops' inr,asion of Czechoslovakla's

Sudetanland "the only possibJ.e means to prese1"l'e

peace"; otherrvise "war," "a fu1l-scale lvar," wouldenslle. There is little difference bett'een Johnson and

I{itler, except tirat the f ormer leaves the latter farbehind in arrogance and bullying.

These excuses dreamt up by Johnson to covel" up

U.S. aggression against the Dominican Republic have

been and will be used to justify U.S. aggression inother parts of the world. Johnson himself declared

only a few days ago that the United States would not

"sIacken" its actions iu the Dominican Republic be-

canse "there are 100 other nations watching."

Chairman Mao Tse-tung to the people of the worldg,ho love peace and justice.''

Chailman Mao's statetnent "is in complete confor-mity with the feelings and thcughts of the Afro-Asianand Latin American peoples and the rest of the rvor'ld'specple," said E.A. Nlartalogawa, Vice-Chairman of theForeign Affairs Sub-Committee of the Indonesian Co-operation Parliament. Secretary-General of the In-donesian Party Adisun-rarto said that Chairman Mao'sstatement was entirely correct and that facts prorred thatthe Chinese people alivays stood at the forefront indefence and suppolt of nations fighting for their in-dependence and liberation. lsrnurvil, head of the In-donesian Party's International Affairs Department andGeneral Chailrnan of the Indcnesian Youth lVlovement,expressed ful1 agreement r,',,ith C1-rairman Mao's state-ment.

Nladame Aminah Hidajat, General Cirairman of theIndonesian Peace Committee, said that Chairman Mao'ss'Latemen'L is a great encouragement to the Dominicanpeople arrd that it not on1y,- mobiiized the Chinese peo-p1e but also the people of other iands.

Siraddjuddin Abbas, General Chairman of the PertiParty and General Chairnan of the Indonesian Orgairi-zation for Afro-Asiar-i Pecple's Solidarity'. said thatChairman Mao's statement "voices the aspilations ofthe prcgressive peoples of Asia, Africa and LatinAmerica. . . . It is approved and upheld by all theu,or1d's progressive peop1e."

He pointed ollt that the United States hadinterfered in the internal affairs of other countries underthe pretext of "the defence of freedom,, and ,,anti-communism" and that U.S. interference in the internalaffairs of other countries with armed force and dollarsw'as the root cause undermining peace in Asia and therest of the world and that it should be u,iped out.

Masaharu Hatanaka, leader of the Japan CouncilAgainst Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs, said that Chair-man Mao's statement was timely and that the Japanesepeople who supported the struggle of the Vietnamesepeople endorsed it and tvere encouraged by it.

The Zanzibar News Service in its Ma;, 17 editorialhailed Chairman Mao's statement, saying that it hascompletely exposed the ferocious features of U.S. im-perialism and greatly contributed to the political andideological awakening of the people of the world.

The OIfice of the South West African NationalUnion (SWANU) in Cairo issued a statement on May12.

What is the meaning cf the "unconditional dis-cussions" or the settlement of the \riet Nam questionthrough '"peacefui negotiations" proposed by Johnson,the ringieader of U.S. imperialisrn, when the Vietna-mese pecpie are rvinning one rrictory after anothei: intheir strriggle against U.S. aggt'ession and i.ihen the U.S.imperialist crimes of aggression are meeting with in-creasingly strong condemnation i:y the people of thervorld ?

JohnsoiT's so-calied "unccncilticnal discussions.,, iniact. mean "discussions" on his terms. They meanforcing people to recognize, under the threat of the U.S.imperialist butche:''s knife, tl-rat U.S. aggression againstViet Nam is 1egal, and that the United States has theright to scrap the Geneva agrt--ements at will, per:peiuatethe division of Viet Nam, hang oi: in south Viet Nam,continue to enslave and slaughter the south Vietnamesepeople rand at.iack the Democratic Republic of Viet Namas it likes. In short, by waving his olive branch,Johnson is trying to cover up U.S. imperialist sanguinaryaggression and aid the implementation of his criminal

Comferenceplan for the escalation of the u'ar in order to pei'petuateU.S. occupation of south Viet Naur. The so-called"unconditional discussions" mean nothing hut the un-conditional surrender of i;he Vietnamese pecple. Thisis war biacknrail pure and simple.

The Vietnamese people have given a clear and un-equivocal ansrr]er to .Tohnson's war blackmail' Tirey havemade the tremendously inspiring vorv that they refuseto be enslaved and are determined to fight to tire endgeneraticn aiter generaiion, till not a single U.S' soldierremains on Viet Nam soil. iis Fresident Ho Chi i\{inhi-ias said, ihr r;ri-,, -r',.-aJz to sch,e the Viei Nam quesiionis: "Flrst of all, the Unirccl Statcs must r."'i'Lhai:a-fir fromsc':r'ii'r irie f. i,aur, iet ihe scu.ih Vietnan^,1'si: ';;eoole decidetheir ourn affaii's tl^ienr,ich'es. and stop i,ts prorio':atir:t:a.iiacks aga.inst the Deroocra'Lic P.ep,,ibllc of Vlet ldan-i."The Sc-r-t-,ii r,'::-1r Nan:l iiational Front fcr Liberation i-urs

Some rvell-intentioired friends ma5u think that anacceptance of the so-caIled unccnditional negotiationsmay help bring about the uiithdrawal of the U.S. ag-glessors and restore peace in Viet Nam. We must have noillusions rvha.tever about U.S. irnperialism. It is a setpolicy of the United Staies to continue its occupationcf south Viet Nam. Jchnson iras openlv declared thatthe United States "wiil not rvithdrarv, either openly orunder the cloak of a meanii-rgless agreement," and thatthe United States is determined to fight an "endlesscourse of battle" for this purpose.

Tl-rere are cther fliends whose attitude on the VietNanr question ls not sufficiently fair.

Today, q,hen U.S. imperialisn-r is desperateiy com-mitting aggression against Viet Nam and brutaliyslaughtering the Vietnamese people and when the Viet-namese people are shedding their blcod in their war ofresistance. the peopie of Asia and Aflica must unite andact in positir,,e response to tl-re appeals rnade b)' theSouth Viet Nam National Front for Liberation and theNational Assembly of the Dernocratic Republic of VietNam and girze all-or-rt support to the Vietnamese people'sstruggle. To support the Vietnamese people is tostrengthen the struggle of th,e Afro-Asian people againstimperia.lism. and hence to strengthen themselves.

The flag ol the United Nations is dripping with theblood of the peoples of Asia and Africa. Manipulatedby the United States. thc United Nations has beeome a

tool of U.S. imperialism lor undermining and supsress-ing the naiional-liberation movements in Asia, Afticaand Latin America. And nolv, through the instrumen-tality of the so-cailed U.N. "Special Committee forPeace-Keeping Operations," the U.S. impelialists andtheir partners are plotting to set ttp a pei:manent U.N.force to suppress the national-liberation movements.V,/e Afro-Asian peoples shall never tolerate the use ofthe United Nations by U.S. imperialism and its accom-plices for their dirty deeds.

It is higtra time to thoroughly extrlose and eondemn

the crimes of the United Natious. Orir conference

,(

should sternly denounce the crimes perpetrated by theUnited Nations against the Afro-Asian pecrples' The

United Nations should forthwith correct its mistakes,

be thoroughly reorganized and free itself from U.S. im-perialist control. Otherwise it may be necessary toconsider the establishment of a revolutionary UnitedNations, as a rival drama in competition with the UnitedNations which is now controlled by U.S. imperialisroand does nothing 6r;1 grzil. Any attempt to belittle andnegate the important role of the African and Asiancountries in international affairs is bound to fail. ltwilt be impossible to settle any lmportant internationalissue without the participation and agreement of the2,000 million people of Africa and Asia.

Of tate, U.S. imperialism, in collusion with WestGerman militarism, has stepped up its arming of Israel.This has posed a pfrave threat to the independence andsecurity of the Arab countries and aroused great indig-nation among the Arab people. They resolutel;, refuseto compromise with Israel. a tcol of imperialism, andreject peaceful coexistenee with it.

The national-lib,eration movement of the Arabpeople is an important integr"al part of the Afro-Asiannational-lib,eration movement. We Chinese people havealways sto,cC steadfastly on the siCe of our Arab brothersand sisters, anC u,e ',r,ill continue to do so. We resolutelysupport the Arab people of Palestine in tht-ir struggleto return to their 'homeiand and regain their larvfulrights, and all the Arab people in their struggle tosafeguard their national sovereignty and oppo-se im-perialism and its too1. Israei. The Chinese people rvi11

not recognize Israel, no.r will the Chinese Governm'entestablish diplo,matic relations u'ith it. We are co-t-vinced that victory rvi1l assuredi;r beiong to the Arabpeople fighting for justice.

U.S. imperialism has of late been sending troopsto the Dominican ReptlbJ.ic for naked arme'd interfer-ence and aggression against that country. We strongl-vcondemn U.S. imperialism for its act of piracy andfirmly support the Dominican people in their patrioticanti-U.S. struggle. We propose that the conference ex-press mighty solidarit;r with the Dorninican people. U.S.

imperialism still threatens the independence and sove-reignty of Cuba. It stil1 maintains its reactionary policyof enslaving and exploiting the people in the coun-tries of Latin America. The struggle of the Latin Amer-ican people against U.S. in-rperialism and its stoogesis dev,eloping in depth. Armed struggles for nationalliberation have broken out in many Latin .{mericancountries. The Chinese people support the Cuban peo-p1e and all the people of I"atin America in their juststruggie against U.S. imperialist aggression and for thedefence of their independence and sovereignty. U.S. im-perialism must get out of Latin America!

U.S. imperialism is being besieged ring upon ringby the people thro,ughout the world, includingthe American peoptre. The struggle of our AmericanNegro brothers and sisters against racial discrimina-tio,n and for freedo.m is mounting daily. Recently, the

16

American peoptre have unfolded mass campaigns againstthe Johnson Administration's aggressio,n in Viet Namand for the withdrawal of U.S. tro,ops from there. We

salute the courageo,us and peace-Ioving Americanpeople!

We are sule that the Secon'd Conference of theAsian an,C African Heads of State will continue to holdhigh the banner of the Bandung Conference, that ofunity against imperialism. and reflect the common de-sire and urgent d,emands of the Afro-Asian peoples intheir struggle against imperialism and old and neu' colo-nialism and for the winning and safeguarding of na-tional independence, strengthen the soildarity betrveenthe Afro-Asian countries and peoples and contributeto the further deveiopment of the n,ational-liberationmovement in Africa and Asia.

The experience of the new-emerging Afro-Asiancountriss has proved that the development of an inde-pendent national economy on th,e basis of self-relianceand through mutual assistance based on equality andmutual benefit is the sure road for the Afro-Asian peo-ples to achieve complete independence and economicprosperity. The "aid" given by imperialism and itsparttter$ always has conditions attached and alwaysbenefits them at the expense of others. Mo,reover, theyhave thought up a so,-called "theor:y of the interna-tional division of labour" and talked loudly about the''industria1l1- aCvanced" countries ai.ding the "under-developed" ones. In fact, u,hat the)'are seeking is toprom,ote neo-colonialism in the Afro-Asian countriesand keep them dependent economically and enslavedfor ever.

Since the First Afro-Asian People's Solidai'ity Con-ference, the experience of the Afro-Asj.an people's soiid-arity movement shows that the first and most urgenttask of the peoples of Africa and Asia is to oppose im-perialism and o1d and netv colo,nialism, r,l,hich areh,eaded b1' the United States.

For a long time now sorne people have been put-ting forrvard the argument th.at our movement shouldregard so-caljed general and complete disarmament andpeaceful coexistence with imperialism as our first andforemosi task. This is completely erroneous. Thisargument has now gone totally b,ankrupt. The livingfacts are that the imperialists, and the U.S. imperial-ists in particular, are everywhere suppressing the na-tional-liberation movement, carrying out subversionand intervention against the ne\v-emerging indepen-dent countries, madly engaging in a drive fo,r generaland compiete armament and threatening world peace.Confronted with this situation, the new-emerging coun-tries of Asia and Africa and their people must strength-en their capacity for national defence, establishpeople's armed forces and rvage a tit-for-tat struggleagainst imperialism; there can be no peaceful coexist-ence with imperialism. The common historic taskconfronting the Afro-Asian p.eoples is to establish closerunity, drive the forces of imperialism, and especiallyof U.S. imperialism, out of Africa and Asia, and strive

Peki,ng Reuieu, No. 21

for a new Africa and a new Asia, freed fr,om imperial-ism and colonialism.

Throughout the world the people ar,e earnestiy ex-pecting our conference to take urgent steps to give ef-fective suppo.r't to our Vietnamese brothers. TheChinese delegation would like to propose:

(1) that this conference wholeheartedly respond tothe call of the Vietnamese peopie, and make an appealto the people of Africa and Asia and the world to launcha powerful campaign for driving the U.S, aggresso!:sout of Viet Nam and give all-out support to the juststruggle of the Vietnamese people until their finalvictory;

<2) that this conference sternly condemn andresolutely oppose the U.S, imperialist torvering crimesof aggression in Viet Nam and escalation of the rvarthere. All U.S. aggressors must get out of south VietNam and Indo-China;

(3) that this conference declare that to advocateany unconditional "peace talks" in the present situa-tion means asking the south Vietnamese people to laydorvn their arms and stop fighting. This conlerencefirmly opposes any "peace talks" intrigue aimed at sell-ing out the interests of the {ietnamese pecple antlthe big fraud of Johnson's so-called "unconditionaldiscussions";

(4) that this conference declare its unreservedsupport for the solernn staternent of the South VieiNam National Front for Liberation issued on llarch 22,

1965 and the solemn appeal to the world adopied llvthe Second Session of the Third National Assembly oIthe Democratic Bepublit of Viet Nam. The South Viet

Nam National Front for Liberation is the sole genuinerepresentative of the south Vietnamese people. Thequestion of south Viet Nam should be settled by thesouth Vietnamese people themselves and the questionof the reunification of Viet Nam should tre settled bythe Vietnamese people themselves;

(5) that this conference support the Second Inter-national Conference for Solidarity rvith the People ofViet Nam Against U.S. Imperialist Aggression and forthe Detence of Peace to be called by its permanentbureau in Hanoi in order to strengthen the activities ofthe people in different countries in supporting Viet Namagainst U.S. aggression.

We llould like to propose that this conference adoptspecial resolutions in support of the struggles be'ingwaged by the peoples of the Congo (Leopoldville), theDominican Eepubiic, Cuba and other countries to winliberation and to fight against imperialism.

We would like to propose further that this con-felence adopi all effective measures to increase oursupport for the . str-uggles of the Afi'o-Asian peoples,and paiticuiarl5' our moral and malerial support forthcse brotheLs and sisters ivho are waging arduousstruggles for independeirce.

In accordance with the unanimous decision of theAlgiers CounciL session gLrncer-ning the convocation ofthe Fifth Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Conference inthe capital of our ccuntr.v in 196?, and on behatf ofthe Chinese peopie ancl the Chinese Committee forAfr'o-A,sian soliCaritn. I wish once again to expressot'lr \\.arm u-elcome anii lcok fonvard to receiving ourfriends in Peking.

Moshi Conference, the national-liberation movementin Africa, Asia and Latin America has been develop-ing powerfully and has won gleat victories and dealttelling blows at the imperialists, coloniaiists. neo-

ing bombers to the puppet regime of Moise Tshombe;

on furnishing arms to the fascist regimes of Salazar,Verwoerd. and to the African neo-colonialist coun-tries mainly through Israel in order to suppr'ess thefreedom fighters' movements in these countries; onmilitary adventures in Yemen; on the economic stran-gulaiion of Cuba, and on containing and sabotagingthe economies of states with sociaiist programmes fornational development.

The Afro-Asian countries should co-ordinate theireconomic policies in the face of the imperialist, colo-nialist and neo-colonialist sabotage. Those countrieshaving advanced and having powerful econorni,es shouldin this field reconsi'der their relations rvith the de-veloping counti'ies. These reiations should be based notonly on the principle of mutuai interest but also onqenuine solidaritv.

Iinperialist manoeuvres in Africa have assumeddangelous diraensions and the cunning foltu of neo-coloniaiist exploiiatioi-r. lateiy characterized by the es-tablishment of ihe Afro-Maigache Community Organ-izaticn (O.C.A.ryL), an imperialirst creation. aimed tosave Moise Tshon-rbe's legin*re and all other simiiarregimes in Africa; attacking not only the ploglessivestates of Africa but above all the just idea of Africanunity as contained in the charte;: of the Oi'ganrza'uionof African Uniiy. But the conference is convincedthai these manoeuvres cor:ld be stoppecJ- b-u.- the unitrvof th,e progressive forces in Africa in the form of anAfrican revolutionary front struggling against imperial-ism and reaction, fol the genuine unity of Ailica. Inpar'ticu1ar, the forrnatlon of a union government as thesur.est guarantee for political and economic security ofthe continent and its contribution to the security ofmankind.

The desperate and ruthless policies of the impelial-ists are clearly aimed to save tl-reir colonialist and neo-colonialist structures from final col1apse. But neithertheir aggressive u,ars r-ror their measures of economiccontaihment can prevent or slorv down the forces ofliberation, social justice and economic progress fromachieving their goals. They can only call for greaterheroic efforts and fiercer struggles from the peoplesof Africa, Asia, Latin America and all progressive peo-pie of the world.

Our urgent task is to intensify the peoples' struggleagainst aggression, to win and safeguard irationai in-dependence and to ensure peace. This means using allthe powers antt means at the command of our peol:lesto compel the Anglo-American imperialists to withdrawtheir rnilitary forces from south Viet Nam, the Congo(L), the Dominican Bepublic, South Yemen and Malaya(including Singapore), and North Kalimantan. This isour supreme duty.

With the aim of completing the national liberationof all peoples under colonial chains, of ftrrthering

18

human progress to a more just social system and great-er economic development, of preserving rn'orld peace,

the conference affirms its determination to oppose ag-gression of imperialists by consoiidating the solidarityof the peoples of Africa and Asia, and by extending itssolidarity to embrace the peoples of Latin America andits co-operation with other progressive peopies in thervoild, by struggling against imperialist aggressionw'hich threatens world peace, ancl by taking counter-measures to destroy neo-coloniaList structures of eco-

nomic exploi.tation throughout the developing u'orl'd'

We must mobilize, organize and educate our peo-ples to regard the f'oreign military bases and jointmiiitary pacts in their rnidst not only as a continuousthreat to peace, but also an encroachment on theirnational sovereignty, and consequently to regard gor'-ernntents which allow imperialists to establish andmaintain such bases and such joint pacts or aily countrybuilding up colossal military rnight with U.S. aid andweapons for aggressive actions against neigh';ours inAsia, Africa and Latin America as neo-eolonialist pup-pet governments and enernies of their people. Wemust consolidate our own soliCarit-v an<i exten'ri it trlinciude the people of Latin America u,ho ar-e also sr,tf-fering frorrr the ,qame form o*'neo-colonialism headedb), U.S. imperlalism. Notr. tha'L U.S. imperialism hassplead its tentacles ov.er all the continents, our .solid-arity rvith Latin America is not only logical, but im-peratirre. In the Linite<i States itself. 22 million Afro-Arnerlcans are suffering from the same laciai dis-cr:imination and exploitation rvhich plagues the peopleunder colonial ruie. The struggle of Afro-Americansshoulci no lcnger be regarded as a civil rights issuebut that oI human rights x,hich must be raised beforethe United Nations.

The conference affirms that it is the legitimateright of the Afro-Asian peoples to answer imperialistviolence by revolutionary violence in their struggle fornational liberation and for safeguarding national in-dependence. This is lvh} r,r,e support the statementmade b5, President Nkrumah: "You are entitied to yourfreeCom at any cost, and if you are only able to gainyour freedom by an armed struggle, we will not onlyconsider your wars against foreign oppressor as justanC holy, but we will be prepard to help you as ifthese were our own wars for our own liberation."

Report on VisEt to Five Africon

LIU NING-I

The African people are an unbending people whofr'fuse to bow trr fot'ce. They have been car-ryiltg onheroic, indomitable and persevering stluggle ag.ainstaggre:ssion b;, in-rperialism, colonialism and neo-coionial-ism, and to u'ir-r al-rc1 safeguald nationai ir-rdependence.In order to 'rvipe out coloniajist influence ar.rd furtherr:id themselves of foreigir domination. Guinea, Ma1i, theRepi-ibl.ic of Central Africa. the Congo (B) and Ghanahave all made great efforts in replacing foreigners withAflicans in govei:r-rment offices and other spheres ofpublic life. A1l or nearly aIi government officials andofficcrs ir-r the armed forces of many African countriesare now Afr-icans.

The people of the nervly independent African coun_tries deeply sympathize with and vigorously supportthe naticnal-liber,aticn struggle of their African broth_ers lvho ar.e stil1 under colonial domination. The peo-p1e in the conntries rve visitecl regard the struggle andr.,ictories of the Congolese (Leopoldville) people as theirorvn. Inspired by hatred for the common enemy, theyhave provided the Congolese (L) people with variouskinds of aicl.

The slaughter of the Congolese (L) people by U.S.imperialism and its subversive acti.vities against thenew emerging countries have gradually brought thebroad masses of the African people to realize that U.S.in-rperi.alism is an international gendarme ancl the mostferocious enemy of the African people, and that the U.S.imperialists not only want to o.ccupy the Congo (L) but to

Peking Reuiew, No. 21

enmesh once again the whole of Africa in the web ofU.S. neo-colonialism.

From their own experience in the struggie, the Afri-can people have come to realize very clearly that factsdefinitely do not suppolt the assertion made by somepersons that colonialism has disappeared from theearth. Colonialism has not yet died; it is sti1l kickiirgon its deathbed. O1d colonialism is trying hard to re_store its former colonialist domination u.hile neo_colo-nialism, especially U.S. irrperialism, is using still morecunning tactics in franticaliy pushing its poiicies of ag-gres-.ion and war. Combating imperialism, colonialismand neo-colonialism remains the most pressing task ofthe African people.

Today the situation in Africa is an excellent one.The African people who were trampled underfoot byimperialism and colonialism for centuries are now filledwith a heroic spirit of daring to fight and daring to seizevictory; they are now fighting valiantly against im-perialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism. Africa is be-coming an arvakened, nrilitant, revolutionarl, andadvanced continent. The revolutionary strength of theAfrican peoptre is invincible. and they are determinedto be masters of their continent. Imperialism is doomed.lt can never hold back the advance of the wheel of his-tory.

II

The African peoples who have u'on independenceare well aware that political independence is insep-arable from economic independence. In order to con-solidate political independenee and achieve completenational liberation there must be economic indepen-dence. The people of the ne\ / €merging countries inAfrica are now energetically- taking various kinds ofmeasures to wipe out colonialist influence and toderrelop their national economies and national cultules.and they have achieved outstanding successes in thesefields. Everywhere we went we could see the Africanpeople diligently building neq, factories and plantations.The economic and technical personnel of the Africancountries are developing rapidl;;. Industrial and agricul-tural production has made new progress. A new releaseof life is evident everywhere. The dependent single-product economy rvhich the colonialists created for theAfrican countries is also beginning to develop in thedirectio,n of a diversifled economy. The Mali Govern-ment has nationalized the "Niger Office." a colonialistenterprise. Following this, not only has Mali registereda big increase in cotton output but for the first timehas succeeded in growing wheat and sugar cane on itssoil and building tea plantations. In the past fer,v yearsthe MaIi Government has taken many steps to developagriculture and stock-breeding. lMali now has achievedself-sufficiency in food grain and even has a surplus.In the past Ghana mainl.y produced cocoanuts, but ithas now made some progress in stock-breeding, growing

Ma17 21, 1965

vegetables and rice, and in rubber plantations. Beforeindependence, Guinea had to import such daily neces_sities as cigarettes and matches. Now the Gr_rinean peo_ple have established a plant for making cigar.ettes andmatches, which, besides suppl5.ing domesti,c needs, arealso sold to the foreign market. The 12_point programmeof action against speculation. smuggling and corrup.rionproclaimed by President Sekou Toure lasi November hashad a great significance in placing the nation.s economiciife on a sound basis and pr.on-roting economic derrelop_ment.

In the eourse of building up their countries, theAfrican people have gradually realized that they mustattach importance to relying on their orvn efforts andutilize their orvn resourees to develop their independentnational economies. Man;. African friends iold us ihatbuilding up one's countr;r by self-relianc.e is a preciousexperience derived by the African people out of thepractice in their own trl,ork of national constructiorr.

The African peopie have also achieved positiveresults in dwetoping their national cultures. In olrierto elin-rinate the colcnialist influence in the ideologicaland cultut'al fields. the Guinean Governrnent and peo-ple have ordered the bannir-rg of decadent Western songsand used various forms of literature and art to educatethe people on patr.iotisrr. We had the opportunity tosee a play call,ed Oasmon perfor.med by Guinean actors.Through the character Ousman, the play criticizes theerroneous ideas of certain intellectuais who put blindfaith in the West, and brings into focus the Guineanpeople's ardent love for their country, for labour andfor their hard-working spirit to make their countrystrong and prosperous. This play is highly praised bythe masses. and is an exhiiarating result of the Guineanpeople's development of their national culiure.

The African people are brave and industrious.Africa has fertile land and rich resource;s. We areconvinceC that by relying on their own efforts and lr,iththe support of friendly countries and people, the peoplein the new emerging countries in Africa are sure toovercome the various kinds of difficulties on the path ofadvance, and gain great victories in the struggle fornational construction. An advanced, strong, prosperousnew Afriea is sure to emerge in the world.

iltThe African people's profound love for Chairman

Mao Tse-tung rnade a deep and unforgettable impres-sion on us. Wherever we went we could hear the words"Mao Tse-tung," "Mao Tse-tung

- China" erupting fromthe crowds. Many African friends told us with warmfeeling that the writings of Chairman Mao Tse-tungenjoy great popularity among Africans, and they en-thusiastically talked with us about Chairman Mao'sworks and statements which they had read. ChairmanMao's statements and talks supporting the Africannational-liberation movement especially have received

21

warm appreciation and positive r€sponse froln theAfrican people. The great love of the African people

for Chairman l\{ao Tse-tung is a profountl reflectionof the thoughts and {eelings that the African people, whohave suffered eolonialist rule for a long time, hold incommon with the Chinese people.

Tl-re leacier.'s of these fiire Afi'ican cottntries and theAfrican people have the sincerest friendship for andconfidence in ilerv China and the Chinese people. Whenreceiving the delegaiion, President Sekou Toul'e ofGuinea said: "Facis harre ploved that ihe Chinese peo-ple are a reliable friend of the pecple of Guinea andal] other: African countries." President Modibo Keitaof It/Iaii expressed gleat satisfaction rvith the growth offliendly relations betrveen Mali anci China, and con-sidered that ''co-operati.on on both sides has entereda positive st,age." President David Dacko of the Repub-lic of Central Afrrca said that "among the friends of theRr,.pr-rblic of Centla] A{rica rve fii'st ciie the lrame of thcPeople's Republic of China." Plesi.dent AlpironseNlassamba-Debat of the Congo (B) said: "The imperialistsale engagLrlg in an anti-China cailpaign. bui r-rnder nocircu:nstances rviil the Congolese (B) people changetheir friendship torvards China. On the contrarr'. thisfriendship ivill coniinue to be strengthened and con-so1idat.ed." Pi'esider-rt Ku'ame Nkrumah of Ghana er-pi'essed the view that the success of the Chinese Ccirr-munist Pa.rt;- and the liberation of China 1'rave dsaltimperialism its biggest bro,.r'. Other leaders, peoplefr:om all vralks of life and ordinary citizens have sho.,vnthe same urarm and friendlv feelings tor..;rlds Lis. Dur-ing this r.isit s,e deeply felt that the African people re-gard the Chinese people as their rnost loyal and reliablecornrades-in-arms. No nlatter horv the imperialists,rnodern revisionists and reactionaries of all countriesrack their lrrains and no matter what trieks they playto break the rnilitant solidarity ancl ftiendship betweenthe Chinese and African peoples, their schemes cannev'er succeed.

"Fight U.S. lmperialism to the End I"

The rally cheered to the echo a speech by PengChen, Member of the Poiitical Bureau of the CentraiCommittee of the Chinese Cornmttnist Party and Mayorof Peking, who declareti that the Chinese people rveredetermined to carry through to the end the struggleaga.inst U.S. imperialist aggre'-ssion together rviti-r theDominican people and the people of the whole r,''oiId.Mayor Peng Chen paid tribute to the patriotic a.rmed

struggle now being waged by tl-re Dominican oeopleagainst the Yankees as marking a nelv upsurge of thenational-democratic movement in the Dominican Re-pubiic and of all Latin America. "The datintless spiritof the Dominican peop1e," he declared, "gi'eati;r' in-spires the other Latin American peoples in theit' na-tional-democratic revoluticnary struggle and the peopleof the .r,,hoie world it-r their figl-rt against U.S. iir.rpeiiai-ism."

Expressing confidence that the Dominican peoplervoulcl be victorious, he declared that the "goocl olddays'' of U.S. irnperialism were gone for ever and itsaitempi to re-conqner the Dorainican Repubiic as it did50 years ago '*oli1d never succeecl.

The raiiy ad-opted by accla:nation a message of sup-port for the p:rtriotic Dominican soldiers and people in

For Your Reference

U.S. Plunder of the DominicanRepublic

rnHE armed. forces of the United States ha..'e been used,t for more than half a century to back up American

plunder of the Dominican Republic. Control of theRepublic's ec.oncmy by armed intervention and militaryoccnpation dates back to the beginning of the century.In 1904, voracious U.S. imperialism, bent on grabbingcolonies, sent warships into the Republic's terlitorial'"r.aters. The follorving year it forced the country toaccept U.S. supen,ision of cttstoms and the collectionof customs duties.

In 1916 U.S. troops invaded the Dominican Republicand eight years of occupation enforced by or-rtrightrnilitary rule by the marines followed. For the next40-odd years the marines, rratchdogs for Americancapital and the big stick use.d to suppress the Dominicanpeople's resist.ance, served as Washington's strongarmfor controlling the Republic.

After forcing open the portals of the DominicanRepublic, American capital poured in as monopollstsseized mineral resources and large tracts of land andexploited cheap sources of labour. According to officialU.S. figures, in 1962 direct American investments inthis land of 3 million people reached U.S.$108 million.But more realistic figures given by the Dominicanauthorities in 1961 showed that U.S. investmentsalready amounted to U.5.$250 million.

The penetration o,f Yankee capital into the Domini-can Republic's finances, foreign trade, sugar industry,mining and o,bher vital spheres of the e,conomy gave theUnited States control over the nation's economic life,In order to facilitate the entry of U.S. private capital,in 1962, Washington forced" the reactionary pro-U.S. re-gime in the Dominican Republic to sign an agreements,afeguarding U.S. capital.

To control Dominican finances. the Morgan bankinginterests .set up a branch of the First National City Bankof New York. h-r aCCition, American capital gaine'd

control of most oI the country's import-export tra'de as

rve11 as 60 per cent of the pr:ocessing industries.The Dominican Republic rvas turned into a pro'ducer

of raw materials rt ith sugar as the main product. Sugarmakes up 60 per cent of the total value of exports,and more than four-fifths of the sugar industry is inAmerican hands: the South Puerto Rico Sugar Com-pany and another U.S. company. In the Dominican Re-public the fcm-rer holis 120.000 acres of sugar-canefields, 110.000 acres of pasture rvith choice livestockand 45.000 reserve acres. It also has a private rail-road system, a dcck and a bulk sugar loading stationto lacilitate the exp,ort of sr-rgar. In 1964 alone thisone Amelican company, which deals mainly in sugarin the Dominican Repubiic and Puerto Rico, earnedU.S.$8.1 million.

In 1959 the Niellcn financiai group's Aluminum Com-p,any of America branch in the Dominican Repubiic -the Alcoa Explcration Company

- began plundering

Dominican bauxite resources, and in 1963 robbed theRepublic of 852,000 tons of bauxite. According to figuresreleased b;r the Aluminum Company of America, it hasinvested U.S.$176 million in the Caribbean region andin 1962*63 made a profit of U.S.$155 mil1ion.

The notorious United Fruit Company, commonlyknown in Latin America as the "Green Devil," holdsL2,350 acres of ban.ana plantations in the Dominican Re-public. Fcr further economic penetration, United Fruitrecently signed an agreement with the Republic tobuild ils orvn railways and ports.

Among the many American-controlled enterprises,even the beer industry has not escaped.

The Dominican Republic has served as the happyhunting-ground for U.S. super-profits from the exploita-tion of cheap labour. Worker"s in the sugar industryget a meagre U.S.$1.30 for a 12-hour day. Still morepitiful is the lot of the agricultural worker who receivesonly 30 to 40 cents daily.

- Ed.

TrUf nroves of the leadership of the C.p.S.U. to compelr the rvor'Id Parties to embrace a revisionjst line has

met with another setback." says the Political Committeeof the Contmunist Partv of Nerv Zealand in its March24 statement on the schismatic March meeting inMoscow-

The main conclusions r.r,hich the political Com-uittee of the Comn,unist Palty of New Zealand arliveclat from the l\.Ioscow meeting convened by the leader.-ship of the C.P.S.U. were:

"1. By attempting to foist this improper meetingupon the world communist movement the organizershave continued to do harm to the cause of comrnunismand the rvorld's working class.

"2. The communique is an attenlpt, under coverof soft words and Marxist-Leninist phrases, to createfurther disunity in the u'orld movement.

"3. It makes clear that the leaders of the C.P.S.U.(and their supporters in other places) persist in theirrevisionist ideas and are determined to impose themupon the world movernent.

"4. The practical effect of the rrreeting is toencourage imperialism to continue its rvar of destruc-tion in Viet Nam, threaten China rvith attacks anrlintensify its ruthless suppression of national-liberationstruggle.

"5. That the world comn:unist movement muststand firm on the ground that arr attack on any onesocialist country is an attack on all socialist countriesand rnust be rnet by their combined might. The vitaltash of the C.P.N.Z. is to strive to rvin the u'orkingclass to lead the struggle to stop the U.S. war againstsocialist Viet Nam and to force the s'ithdrarval of Il.S.troops froni south Viet Nam.

"6. That the struggle against revisionism (op-portunism) within the world Parties is the road to therevolutionary unity of the movenrent-the necessarycondition for new vietories for socialisrn and the de-feat of imperialism with its continuous threat of war."

"From the time ihe leadership of the C.P.N.Z. firstbecame aware of the world ideoiogical dispute, it hasalways been in favour of the holding of an interna-tional meeting of the world Parties

meeting was held with the cbject of reaching ideo-logical unity and not u'ith the object of forcing anorganizational split. That is why it has alr,l,ays insistedthat such a meeting be preceded by bilateral discussionbetween the Parties int'olved in differences.,,

The statement notes "the determination of theorganizers to atroid the proper preparation as laid dora,nin thc. B1 Parties' Statement. The necessity for bilateraltalks bettr-een Parties on a free ar-rd equal basis is onceagain spurned and with it any serious attempt toestablish a real Marxist-Leninist foundation for build-ing rvor'1d ccmrnunist unit1,,.,,

"Conseqr-rent1r, it is necessaty to see tl-rat the planoutlir:ed in the conrnrunique to convene a meeting otthe 81 Parties to consider rvhether an internationalconference should be held is rnerely a new revisionisttrick to achier.e their anti-Marxist-Leninist objectivesunder the pretence of .overcoming the differences andstrengthening the solidarity of th,e lvorld communistrnot'ement.'"

Refelring to the utter failure oI the schismaticMosccu' n:reetiug. 'the statement says that the meetinghad been changed from one which $,as to organize andprepare a n-reeting of u,orld parties in 1g65, to a down_gradecl "consultatir,e rDeeting.,' This was a setbackfor the revisionist leaders of the C.P.S.U., the organi_zers of the meeting.

"A second b1ot. u'as that the meeting itself w,asforced to recognize that it could not prepare and pro-ceed to convene a conference of 'world parties. But itis equalli' clear fi'om the communique that the organi-zers have not given up their hopes of imposing theirrevisionist ideas on the world movement.

"The third and most telling biow to the organizersof the Moscorv n-reetir-rg u,as struck by world events.

"American bombs ',,vele raining dor,vn on socialistsoil as the representatives of the 19 Parties sat clcrvnin lVlcscou; to sohre the problerns of the worlcl com-munist motzement. In the communique of the meet-ing it [Viet Nam] is dismissed in a single sentence.

"True. they also issued what is described as a callfor 'worldu,ide public action to support the people ofViet Nam.' But it cannot by any means be described asa clarion cal1. There were representatives of some eightsocialist countries present at the meeting, but there wasnot a single reference to the fact that acts of war againstone socialist country are acts of war against them all.The statement failed to recold what has been rea.dily

forthcoming on other occa-sions, i'e., that the might of

the rn,hole sociaiist camp u'i1l be used to defend the so-

cialist rule sacred to the rvorld's working class -wherever it may be.

"To the imperialists the 19 Parties' statem'ent wouldcome as a welcome reassutance that the Khrushchovline still prevailed in the Soviet leadership and amongtheir supporters in the leadership of other CommunistParties.

"The hollolv'ring of the communique, despite iiberaluse of Marxist-Leninist phraseo1og5,. *o.,1d go far toconvince the U.S. Government that for the tlme beingat least, an empty barrage of words r,l,a,s the onlyobstacle their bombers lvere likely to meet from thequarters that might otherrvise havt' ended their mis-sions of death.

The communique of the meeting was "a completenegation of Marxism-Leninism. It i.s not the worid out-look of dialectical n-raterialism. There is nothingdialectical or materialist abcut it. It is idealism pureand simple."

"The line of the revisionists on 'unity' leads to theliquidation of the Commtinist Parties. It tl'ansfortnsthem from re'u,olutionary parties of the proletariat intolabour parties, social democratic parties. reformist par-

''The 'unity' the revisionists advccate is not the

"Brave u,ords cannot conceal the divisions thathave arisen nor the honest bet'ilderment of many oftheir follort'er's."

Referring to the Australian revisionist group'st.oeing of the line of the leaders of the C.p.S.U., thestatement said: "More and rnore Australian people seethese tr,vists and turns as real service to U.S. imperial-ism. Under the slogan of unit;r with the Right-ivingA.L.P. leaders. the leaders of the Australian revisionistgr-oup set've U.S. imperialism.

The meeting. it points out, was i1lega1both in procedure and ccntent an'd was detrimental tothe solidarity of the internation.al communi-st tnotrentent."No amount of fine r,vcrds can hide the fact that th,erneeting was attended by oniy a number of Parties calleCtogether by the leadership of the C.P.S.U. in a blatantand unprincipled manner by il1egal1.v and Lr-n\\.arrantedlyusurping the right to call the meeting. The meetingsirnply aimed at perpetuating the split in a disguisedmanner. In this sense, it brought to the surface thesplit in the international communist rnovement and wassectarian and schismatic in character. Of course. u'eare not putting all the otl-rer Parties represented in theconference on a par with the leadership of the C P.S.U.. . . It is the unshirkable, bounden dutl' of the tluil'Marxist-Leninist palties to point out publicly and un-equivocally the sectarian nature of the meeting."

Khrushchorr's dot,nfa1l malkecl tl-re political bank-ruptcy of the revirsionist, big-nation chauvinist andschismatic iine of the international trend of modernrevisionism. The failure of the "Drafting ComrnitteeMeeting" [the March Moscow meeting] engineered bythe leadership of the C.P,S.U, represented another bank-ruptcy for the international trend of modern revision-ism, in particular, bankruptcy for its big-nation chau-vinist organizational Iine.

The article exposes the true nature of the statementon Viet Nam i;ssued b;, the March Moscon, meeting andof the tactic to put reluctant emphasis on the anti-imperialist struggle in the communique. "This showsthat in face of the war of aggression a6lainst Viet Nam,which has reler:.tlessly exposed the ferocious, aggressivenature of U.S. imperialism. the leadership of the C.P.S.U.can no longer repeat its irresponsible talk to prettifyU.S. imperialism as it did before. It had to write inhere and there certain incoherent phrases about theimportance of the task of striving for concerted actionat the present time.

"The policy pursued by the leadership of theC.P.S.U. of unprincipled compromise with U.S. impe-rialism has enabled the latter to make use of the disunityin the world communist movement and has encouragedit to arrogantly engage in war and aggression. trncarrying out its criminal war of aggression in Viet Nam,U.S. imperialism places its hopes on the revisionists'policy of unprincipled'U.S.-U.S.S.E. co-operation.'

"If the leadership of the C.P.S.U. really hcpedto strengthen 'concerted action' in the struggle againsbimperialism, U.S. imperialism in particular, as \vas statedin the communique [of the March Moscorv meering], itshould not have called such a schismatic meeting asthe one '"r,hich opened on March 1 at a time rvhen therewas a grave situation in rvhich U.S. imperialism becamemcre and more unbridled iir extending its vu'ar of ag-gression. The day after the meeting opened. U.S. im-pelialism, after an interval of 20 da;.,-s. reneu,ed massivebombing of the ierritory of the Democratic Republicof Viet Nam. This, lve consider, is not accidental. Itis obvior:s that the very act of calling the 'consulta-tive meeting,' aimed at bringing the sptit into the openand perpetuating it, had the effect of encouraging U.S.imperialisnr.''

Refer"ring to the question of calling a halt to openpolemics raised in the comntunique. the article pointsot-tt that the C.P.S.U. leaders ''plovoked open polemicsancl iegalized them li,i-ren they considered that this rvasadvantageous to themselves. but lvhen the situationbecame unfavourable to them they declared that openpolemics should be stopped, This is an attitude of big-po\.\ret' char:r'inism plrr.e anc'l sirr-rple and not one whichCommunistrs should adopt."

It u'as the C.P.S.U. leaders rvho first pror,,oked thecpen polen-rics and who should be held fu11y responsi-ble. the article declared. It is absolutely unfair to callfor the cessation of open polemics before the C.p.S.U.leaders have repented. The Japanese Communist partyresel'ves the right to make lefutations so long as theFrench Communist Party and other fraternal parties,t.hich have made slanderous attacks by name againstthe Japanese Commut-rist Party, have not openly admit-ted their mistakes.

Whiie continuing their flagrant sabotage ancl inter_vention against the Japanese Communist party, theC.P.S.U. leaders have pubiicly stated that the internalaffair,s of other. Parties should not be interfered with.This is certainly a far cry from the attitude of makingu-oids accord ."vith deeds. which Con-rmunists shouldadopt. The article cites a mass of facts to show thatafter Khrushchov's ciownfall the C.p.S.U. leadershiphas continued to intet'vene and unclermine the JapaneseCommunist Party b5r the most vicious means. It openlysr-rpports Yoshio Shiga and other anti_party elernentsexpelied b1. the Japanese Communist party and praisesthe anti-Party organization rvhicl-r it has knocked to-gether. In the recent Japanese Upper House electioncampaign. it has helped these anti-part;z elements intheir sabotage activities against the Japane,se ConrmunistParty. The Soviet press has also carried articles open-iy supporting renegades of the Japanese CommtrnistParty and heaping intolerable slanders on the C.p.J.The C.P.S.U. Central Committee has also unjustifiablydismissed a member of the Japanese Communist partyworking in Radio Moscow on the ground that he refusedto broadcast an article of the C.P.S.U. attacking theJapanese Comn-runist Par.ty and even expelled him fromthe Soviet Union. The C.P.S.U. leadership has also

Viet Nom Question: The Whys ond WhereforesFollouing is a factual surueg of the Viet Nam

question, the first instalment of uhich appeared in theIast issue of "Peking Reoieu." - Ed.

Division of a l{ationThe Geneva agreements unequivocally provide that

"the military demarcation 1lne ls provisional andshould not in any \yay be intelpreted as constitutinga poiitical or territorial boundary," and that nationwidefree general elections should be held in Jul;, 1956 tobring about the reunification of Viet Nam (Fina1 Dec-laration of the Geneva Conference).

Ngo Dinh Diem, who ordered flags to be flownat half-mast to "mourn" the signing of the Genevaagreements, flatly rejected a1l proposals from theDemocratic Republic o,f Viet Nam to prepare for gen-erai elections. In this the U.S. aided and abetted him.And the reason was not far to seek. Eisenhos-er. inhis memoirs Mandate Jor Change, rvrote:

I have never talked or corresponded rvith a

person knowledgeable in Indo-Chinese affairs whodid not agree that had elections been held pos-sibly B0 per cent of the population would have votedfor Ho Chi Minh.

On July 16 and August 9, 1955, the Diem regimeopenly declared that it "could not be bound" by theGeneva agreements and refused to attend a north-south consultative conference to prepare for the 1956

nationwide general elections. It then proceeded toproclaim the bogus "Republic of Viet Nam" (October26, 1955). organized by force and fraud a separatist"election of the National Assembly" (March 4, 1956),and made that "Assembly" adopt a "constitution" (Julv2, 1956)

- a series of moves designed to deepen andformalize the division of the country.

Thu;s, the Ben Hai River in the vicinity of the 17thParallel, which had been chosen earlier as the provi-sional military demarcation Iine in accordance withthe Geneva agreements, became an artificial barrier, andthe nation was torn in two.

Mag 21, 1965

Ntany families were separated. Even personal mailcannot go through. The national market rvas parti-tioned and traditional trade channeis blocked. A match-box or a packet of cigarettcs made in Hanoi found ina south Vietnanese pocket suddeniy turned into a ,'sub-

versive" object and its owner. u.as liable to decapita-tion.

In the follorving years, the Democratic Republicof Viet Nam made man-v propLrsals to normalize north-south relations and create favourable conditions fornational reunification. But the United States and itspuppets paid no heed and rvere bent on perpetuatingthe division.

This state of affairs grieves all Vietnamese people.They cannot accept it. As the South Viet Nam Nation-al Front for Liberation said in its well-knorvn March22, 1965 statement:

Viet Nam is one, the Vietnamese people are one.North and south Viet Nam are of the same family.This sentiment is higher than mountains and deeperthan the sea. This truth is like the sun rising in theeast and cannot be shaken by any force whatsoever.

Brasshats and G.l.'s Move lnWith effect from the date of entry into force of

the present Agleement, the introduction into Viet Namof any troop reinforcements and additi^na1 milltarypelsonnel is prohibited .

So read the Geneva agreements (Article 16, agree-ment on the cessation of hostilities in Viet Nam).

A partial listing of Washington's breaches of thisprovision leads:

1954 200 American military personnel stationed insouth Viet Nam as members of a "Military Aidand Advisory Group."

With effect from the date of entrv into lorce ofthe present Ag|eement. no military base un..1er' 1l:e

control of a foreign state may be established in thereg|ouping zone of either party; ihe t\yo par'1ies shallensu|e that the zcnes assigned to them do not adheleto any military alliance and are not used fol the re-srrmption of hostilities or to further an agglessivepolicy.

So stipulate the Geneva agleements (Articie 1g,agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Viet Nam).

But the U.S. has honeycombed south Viet Namu,ith 169 airfields (compared u.ith 6 in 1954), 11 moCernmilitary harbours and a network of strategic highrvays.

As for military al1iance, the SEATO bloc riggedup by the United States on September B, J.gS4 in Manilaopenly "designated" south Viet Nam as pa1,t of the areaunder its "protective umbrella.', In subsequent ;;ears. theSaigon quisling regime has repeatedly sent ,,observers,,

to SEATO meetings and its armed for.ces hat,e takenpart in SEATO war games.

With this record of systernatic violation of theGeneva agreements by himseif and his predecessorsbehind him, Lyndon Johnson reached a ne'rv 1ow inperfidy u'her-r he said on March 25, 1965 that the UnitedStates sought "no more than a retltrn to the essentiaisof the agreements of 1954."

The Dollar PlagueIn the peliod of 1950-54 the LTniled States spent

2 600 million doliar-s in Viet Nan-i to "aid" the Fr'enchcclonlalists. This was followed by more money to "aid"the puppet Saigon regime. The approximate total is:

1954-60 2.000 millior-i dollals

1961-64 2,400 million doilars

More than B0 per cent of the 1954-64 sum was directn.rilitar5, expenditures. The 1964 rate of spending wasnearll' tu'o millicn dollars a day.

\4rho pays the piper ca11s the tune. The French pa-per Le Niottde n-rade an interesting revelation as farback as ,Ianr-rar"'- 4. 7957: ''When General O'Daniei [chiefoI the American "Military Aid ancl Advisory Group"]rr"'as presiding over the training of the Vietnamese army,it scmelin-les happened that he thumped the table,ehouling 'rt'ho pa1's?' in order to force his vieu,s ondoubting ailies. The \rietnamese asked for a break ii-r

the sitting to confer together, then came back to an-nounce their acceptance."

Wrth this "aid," the United States has greatly ex-panded the south Vietnamese puppet artrry to its presentstrength of 600.000 men. These include t'egular. regionaland militia troops

- all equ.ipped. financed. trained and

thus ccrnpletely s6n1..11ed b;. the United States. Itshould be pointed out that the third category is not"militia" in the proper sense of the word, but a regular',American-paid branch of the puppet army.

In the steadily dwindling areas under U.S. and pu.p-pei ccnti'c'ri, 600.000 men under E,rms ale obr.iously anever gleatL-f drain on nrallpc\\-er and the economy. Thesouth Vietnamese tax-payers harre to foot a hg61zy bill

for the army anclthe war. Fronr.the accompanvingchart it can beseen that militalyspending (whichaccounts for overB0 per cent of theSaigon ri:gime'sbudgetary expen-ditures) is fargreater than theamount of U.S."ai'd."

As a result,the south Vieina-mese tax-payers,

burden increased from10,200 miilion piastresfigures available.

Military costs,r,,'ar dam.age and thednmping and exploi-tation which in-variabiy acccmpanyWashington's "aid,,have r:educed southViet Nam's economyto ruins. Suffice itto cite a few foreigntrade figures (seechart).

More deplorablethan the huge tracledeficit itself is the

6,351 million piastresin 1963, according to

in 1955 tothe iatest

set up, and local committees went to lvork throughoutthe land.

What was this campaign? The French rveeklyTribune des Nations gave some of the answerSeptember 1955 while the drive was in full sr.ving:

The anti-communist campaign is only a series oIpersecutions, always savage. often bloody. Alj formerResistance mernbers al.e banned flom governmentoffices and even fi.om private undertakings subject togovernment pressure. Diem troops launch wartime_style mopping-up operations, throrv thousands ofpeople living in former Viet Minh zones into con_centration camps, induige in pillaging, carry outnulrerous summarl- executions in regicns near the17th Parallel. Political dictaiolship is suci-r that evenanti-corrmunist tendencies u,ith more 01. less differentshades of opinion ale not toleratecl.

A11 this was of course a flagrant violation of theGeneva agr.eenents which provide:

The competent representative authorities of thel{oi'thern and Southern zones of Viet Nam mustnot peitllit

. anl- ir-icliviclual or collective reprisalsagainst persons rvho irave collirl:oratecl in any v",ayl'rtlr one of the par.1ic.s during the lvar, or againstmembers of such persons, {amilies (Fina1 Declarationof the G.eneva Conference).

In scr.ne icgicns. the U.S. and their stooges evenordereC all the wives of formet. Resistance members,rvhether regrouped to the north or remaining in thesouth. tc i.eport to ,,registr1, offices,, and have theirmarriages annulled. A ',clivorce u,eek. g.as organizedfol thr-. Erir.pose!

"Anti-comruunism" \\,-as a mel.e smokesci,een. TheU.S.-Dremists pointed their terror campaign againstformel Rc-sista-nce members simply because the latterare patriots who lefused to accept French rule in ihepast and are unwilling to be enslaved by the UnitedStales now.

Perseclition. in fact. rvas directed at the people ingeneral. The Saigon-Cholon peace movement whichstaltr-ci on August 1, 1gb4 was a case in point. Aimedat nothing more radicai than to consolidate peace,ensure democratic Ireedoms arid achieve rellnilicationb;' nationu,ide flee general elections, the movementt'apidly gained popular support, spreaC to other prov-inces and drer,v into its ranks broad sections of thepopniation including even some high-ranking officialsof thr: Diem "government.,, But the puppet authoritiesimmediately cracked dotvn on it. Nguyen Huu Tho,a lawlrsr in Saigon who is now President of the SouthViet Nam National Front for Liberatlon, was one ofthe moverient's leaders flung into jail at the time.

Repression and terror vridened and intensified inthe enstring years. Volumes have been written todescribe these atrocities. Here are only two of themost sickening examples.

Mqss Poisoning in Fhu Loi

Nearly 6,000 politlcal prisoners were kept in a con-centration camp in Phu Loi 33 kilometres from Saigon.

Sma1l wonder that the Vietnamese peo-ple have been enraged by Johnson's "generosity" andthat genuine Asian public opiilion has sneered at itin the sai-ne way as President Sukarno once dici: "Toheil vrith U.S. aidl"

Reprisals and Terror UnlirnitedIn 1954, Du11es publicly stated: "South Viet Nam

must have a strong government backed up by policeand security forces efficient enough to eliminate fac-tors of agitation." Ngo Dinh Diem and his iuccessorsca.rried out this U.S. order to the hilt.

Immeciiately after the signing oI the Geneva agree_ments, Diem officially proclaimed,.anti-communism',as a "state po1icy." A "Centrai Committee for theDirection of Campaigns to Denounce Communists,, rvas

Most of them were former Resistance fighters against

the French colonialists. Detention in the camp was

tantamount to sloi,l' death by daily torture.

On December 1, 1958, the camp director wasordered to poison the food of the prisoners. After thepoisoned meal, 1,000 inmates died horrible deaths. Anumber rvho attempted to climb on to the roofs to shoutfor help u,'ere shot dead. Local peopie rushed to theirrescue but access to the place rn'as barred by a regi-ment of infantry plus paratroops and armoured cars'

The following day the camp authorities sprayedpetrol on the buiidings and set fire to them in orderto wipe out all traces of the crime. But the detaineessucceeded in controlllng the fire. Then, for days onend, the carnp authorities br"isied themselves elimina-ting the evidence: the corpses were throu'n into thesea; the survivors were removed to other prisons andnew prisoners were brought to the camp; false newsof an epidemic, then of a mass suicide, rl,as spread.

Truth, however. could not be completely suppres-sed. This massacre evoked rn'orldu'ide protests.

Low No' 10r'59

This "law," signed by Ngo Drnh Diem underAmerican auspices, outdid the Nazis. It set up a nulll-ber of mobile "special military tribunals" to try"saboteurs." Under this lar'v all "sabctage acts'' as lvellas the intention to commit them are punishable bydeath or hard labour for life

- the only two sentences

these tribunals can pronounce. The sentences are car-ried out immediately, and no appeal whatever is al-Iowed.

Countless innocent people feII victim to thismonstrous "1aw." Even an American journalist 'wrotebitingly from Saigon in July 1959: "Only' tlne intentiort'to shake cne's fist in the directicn of the fDiem] Pres-

idential Palace" uras liab1e to punishment befole a

special n-rilitary tribunal. (Neiu York World-Telegrant).

The Nlarch 22, 7965 staten-retlt of the South VietNam Naticnal Front for Liberation summed up the

crimes committed by the United States and its hench-

men. It p.ointed out that since 1954 they h,a'C:

-conducted over 160,000 large or small raids;

-killed near'ly 170.000 people;

- wounded or disabled nearly 800.000 cL1-rers bytorture;

- detained more than 400.000 people in over 1.000jails;

- raped tens of thousand-s of women including o1d

women and even children;

- kil1ed 5,000 persons by disembowelment, burvingalive or other cannibalistic methods;

- razed iarge numbers of rrillages to the ground andherded over five million people into 8,000 con-centration camps disguised as "prosperity zones,'2

Reprinted from the American magazine Newsweek(November 9, f964) r,vhich cynically captioned this photo,"Getting the point: South Yietnamese Rangers inter-rogate a prisoner."

"r'esc'ttlement centres," "strategic hamlets" andso on;

- spi'a1'eri tcxic chemicals on n-]any areas. destroy-ing hurndleds of thousands of hectares of cropsand fruit trees and affecting tens of thousands ofpeople.

Many people in the capi.talist world have been keptigi-rcrant of these stark facts, and, indeed, even of thecpinions e:rpressed by such prominent people asBertrand Russeli on the war and atrccities in south VietNam. In his message to an international conference ofsolidarity rvith the Vietnamese people helci last Novern-ber in Hanci, the British philosopher said:

The r.r,'ar in Viet Nan is a u,ar of aggression con-du.cted by the U.S. againsi the overr,vhelming major-ity of the population. In this !,rar, every folm olbrutalitl, has been ailorveC. Chemical poisoning,napalm fjre raids, unspeakable tortures and mutilation,and the dispatch of many millicns to internmentcamps rvhere they endured forced labour, all this follyand cluel madness are unnecessary. The Genevaagreements of 1954 provide the basis for a sensiblesettlement. Tl-re U.S. must be made to withdlarvfrom Viet Nam and to cease its efforts to dominatethe people of Southeast Asia.

Bcdy Blow {or Washington

Big Explosion ot Bien Hoo

The U.S. aggressors in south VietNam have suffered anolher shock atthe Bien Hoa air base, scene of alightning raid by the south Vietna-mese people's forces last Octoberwl-rich brought to the United Statesthe biggest material loss it had thensuffered at one blow since it launchedits "speciai warfare" in 1961. At B:25a.m. on May 16 big explosions againput the base out of action. As West-ern press reports disclosed, the num-ber of planes destroyed or damagedtotalled 40 and at least 26 Americansr.r,ele kil1ed and 95 others wounded.Of the destroyed planes 10 lvere B-57 jet bombers, 11 Skyraider fightersand one a U.S. Navy Crusader jetfighter.

Columns of smoke rose 2,000metres into the sky. They were easilyvisible in Saigon, 25 kilon.retresa\\ray. The searing heat fromthe fire was so great that thenearby baie command post andtactical operations centre wereabandoned. Joseph H. Moore, com-mander of the U.S. air force in southViet Nam, wailed that it rvould beimpossible to use the vital base forat least a s,eek.

spread to adjacent Skyraider fighterbon-rbers. With the ramp area de-stroyed and hangar walls collapsed,the base was a scene of utter de-struction. And what could be moreappropriate than that U.S. bombsshould take toll of the U.S. airpirates and their planes !

V/ashington was hit u,,here it hurt.While Taylor-, U.S. "ambassador" toscuth Viet Nam, rushed from Saigonto the spot. the Pentagon announcedthat a top-level team heaCecl byWilliam IVIartin, Inspector Generalfor the air force, 'uvould go to BlenHoa to investigate.

Dominicans' Heroic Resistance

Why the U.N. lntervention ?

A fierce battle is raging in SantoDomingo. Since May 12 the U.S.aggressor troops. in colhrsion u,'ithpuppet forces, have unl.eashe.d aIarge-scale offensive against thepatriotic Dominicar-r army ar-rd civil-ians. killlng unarmed people irr coldblood. Rising in heroic resistance,the patriotic forces have dealt theaggressors teiling blows. Besidestaking heavy toll of the puppet army,thev l-rave brought the total of U.S.casu.alties to 114.

Aiong ti.re U.S. "military colridor,"braving the fire from eneml- tanksand armoured cars, the patrioticf orces repulsed with machine-gunfir,e an attack by a U.S. marine com-

pany. In house-to-house fighting inthe northern partof Santo Domingo,they to,ok controlof a cement plantand encircle.d agroup of puppettroops although the,enemy emplo;,.ed30 tanks, bazo.okasand other heavyweapons under U.S.air cover. Civiliansvolunteered act,ivesupport. Youths and

old men fired at the enemy withlight arms from roof tops.

While stepping Lrp its militaryrepression. Washington is trying byunderhand schemes to divert theDominican people from their courseof valiant struggle. Johnson hassent a high-level mission to SantoDomingo. lTpon its arrival on May16 it confelred secletlv with U.S.Ambassador Tapley Bennett an.dformer U.S. Ambassador John Martin.It u,'as reported that the mission wasp)ctting a so-ca1led ''ceasefire,,and theestablishme,nt of a "coalition govern-ment" in the Dominican Republi.c.The U.S. Gcvernment is trying hardto force the provisional DominicanGovernment to negotiate with the"national reconstruction,, regimet,hich is sheitering und.er Washing-ton's wing.

In the meantirne. directed by theUnited States. the United Nations hascome to iight with an offer of itss:ervices. Instead of requiring the U.S.aggressors to get out of the Domi_nican Reptrblic, the U.N. SecurityCouncii on May 14 adopted two reso-lutions, one demandir-rg ,,a strictceasefire" and the other providingfor the senCing of a fact-findingmi;ssion. Hr,rw can ther.e be any ques_tion of a ceasefire between U.S.aggressot's and patriots ,"vho arefighting in self-defence? Whatis the need for the fact finding whenthe plain fact is that the UnitedStates has committed aggression?The aim of the United Nations issimply to iegalize the U.S. acts ofaggression.

In agreeing to the postponementof voting on tl-re Soviet moiiondemanding the withdrawai of U.S.troops and voting instead for send-ing the mission to the DominicanRepublic, the Soviet delegate Fedo-renko said that he did so in orderthat American imperialism mightremain with a rope around its necka little longer. Is this the attitudewhich a socialist country should takewhen the Dominican people areshedding blood every minute?This is a far cry from res-olute support for the Dominicanpeople in their struggle against U.S.aggression until the invaders aredriven out.
