The secretary of the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign is still receiving an abundance of letters arising out of the material distributed on the Easter March, Requests for information are still coming in from every part of the country, together with enquiries about the cost of the various publications of the campaign, Organisations have also sent in, among them being the Manor Park A.E.U. and the West Ealing No, 2 N.U.R. as well as numerous peace organisations, Requests for speakers has come from a number of organisations, especially youth groups. Among them being the Bromley and Tottenham C.N.Des, the Croydon Y.C.N.D., Dulwich Young Socialists and Hendon C.A.T. Socialist Society, Sheffield University Labour Club has requested information about affiliating. The requests for delegates credentials to the conference are beginning to come in now. Amongst those signing up are the chairman and secretary of London Malaysian and Singapore Students Society, the editor of Torch, a militant West Indian magazine, the secretary of the Ex-Servicemen's Movement for Peace and many activists in the Young Socialists, Y.C.L., Commnist Party, Movement for Colonial Freedom and student movement. In the next week or two invitations to send delegates are to be sent to every trade union, Constituency Labour Party and Trades Council in the Country. In certain localities, supporters are carrying out their ow circularisation, e.g., all the branches affiliated to the Editurgh Trades Council are to be covered by a local supporter, Whilst it is obvious that only a tiny percentage will send delegates the propaganda effect of this will be enormous - copies of the special Vietnam Voice are to be sent with the invitations. Could I take this opportunity to ask readers of The Week to (1) fill in the slip asking for credentials (see last week's issue); and send the names and addresses of anyone they think should be invited to Vietnam Solidarity Campaign, 8, Roland Gardens, London S.W. 7.
