As is explained in the dossier published in The ’ invited three representatives of the Vietnamese National Idberation Front to come to this country for consultations and to appear at various teach-ins.
Now the Government has been forced to answer, after a long delay. Its decision is .shameful.
+ the following letter appeared in the New Statesman:
7 tao puke causes ath Lord Russell's attempt to obtain visas for the spokesmen of the N.L.F. of South Viefsam and his two ee We consider it of great importance that people in Britain should have the opportune~ ity to listen to the Liberation Front whose case has not as yet been heard here. Those who heard the representative from Saigon ened —- both sides, It is our hope that the Home Office will grant them visas immediately. : “ It was signed by on Briggs, Ruth Glass, Kingsley Martin, Iris — Ralph Miliband, +Thomas Roberts, Lord Silkin, -Mervyn Stcckwood, K.W, Wedderburn ani Field Marshall Sir Claude Auchinleck,
It would be desirable if the case for admitting the N.L.F. representatives could be ‘expressed more widely, We should like to take a full-page advert in one national papers, at a cost of £1,50, in order to advocate it. If you are _— to endorse the above letter, and pay a minimum of 10/= in order to contribute to t e cost of such an advertisement, will you please return the form below with your money? We hope that in particular persons with an active history in the Labour Movement will support this appeal,
Further, if every reader of The Weex sent his 10/+, we should still not have sufficient money to pay for the advert, So can you canvass your friends, six or a dozen or more of them, and collect their contributions also?
