Hull MCF March for Vietnam Peace from Dave Godman ULL’S Saturday afternoon shopping crowds witnessed between 100 and 200 demonstrators, well equipped with placards and leaflets, who marched through the City centre to protest against the American aggression in Vietnam. The march was organised by the newlyformed Hull MCF branch, and included members of unions, Hull CND, Trades Council, Young Socialists, Communist Party, Labour Party, and University Socialist Society, The MCF issued a press statement after the march, which calls for an independent initiative by the British
>
government, and demands that Brit-
ish policy should be based on an end
to American aggression, withdrawal
of all foreign troops and free elec-
tions. It calls on Hull’s Labour MPs,
particularly Jim Johnson and Henry
Solomons, who are both sponsors of
MCF, to join their parliamentary
colleagues — the 54 who have signed
the motion calling for a peaceful
solution.
After the march, it was resolved
that the organisations concerned
should remain in peak preparedness
against the need to mobilise further
demonstrations at short notice,
should the situation deteriorate.
