2l1st/22nd The following is an address delivered to the conference of the Socialist Students of Germany (SDS) by Bernard Reaney, Chairman of National Association of Labour Students, in Frankfurt last week: Comrades, I bring to your conference the solidarity of the National Association of Labour Student Organisations, in the struggle you are advancing in support of the heroic fight of the Vietnamese people against imperialist aggression. It is very apt that the banner you should raise over your conference is that of the NLF. The example shown by these fighters is an inspiration to students all over the world to take up the struggle in defense of the Vietnamese revolution, and also against the ruling class in their own countries, who support this aggression either by the active commitment of troops or through the war alliances of imperlialism. On the International scale this conflict provides a link between progressive forces in the student movement throughout Europe and also in the US. A great manifestation of international solidarity against the war, has been initiated by the 'Student Mobilisation Committee', and the 'National Mobilisation Comnittee' in the US under the slogan, 'Bring the Boys Back Home NOw!'! This manifestation is taking place on the weekend of the 2lst/22nd of October, when the US mobilisation will bring together in Washington more than one million people to demonstrate against the war. They are calling for demonstrations to be organised throughout Europe in solidarity with their activities at that time, In Britain we in NALSO are working in the ‘Vietnam ad hoc Committee for Oct. 2lst/22nd' to help mobilise British students against the American war and the complicity of the British government, Our slogan is 'US get out of Vietnam NOW'. Comrades; may I make the very strongest appeal, not only from my own organisation, but in the name of the fighters.in Vietnam and the fighters of oppression throughout the world, to take action on October 21/22nd, to provide a positive link between militant students everywhere, particularly those in the US who work in difficult and dangerous conditions, and to demonstrate our determination to defend the Vietnamese revolution, Thank you.
