The march and meeting organised by the Glasgow Vietnam Autumn Mobilisation Committee in response to the American anti-war movements' call for sympathetic demonstrations all over the world, proved to be the largest on this issue yet seen in Glasgow. As the Morning Star pointed out, hundreds of marchers carried National Liberation Front flags and it was apprent from the applause given to Tariq Ali at the rally that the sentiments of the audience were in full support of the Vietnamese. A disused warehouse on the Broomielaw quay by the Clyde was the scene for the speeches and for the showing of the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation photographic exhibition which made a big impact. VSC supporters sold more then £10 worth of literature, badges, flags etc., during the afternoon, A party in the evening raised £13 for VSC funds.
