Brockway Distorts the Truth

from Vietnam Couricr July 24, 1967 At tho Intzrnational Congress to discuss the Vietnam problem in Stockholm in carly July, the delegates of both North and South Vietnam onergetically @enounced the U.S. aggrossion in Vietnam and exposed the correct stand of the Vietnamese poople on tho settlement of tho Vietnam issue. This was warmly hailed by the Congress. But according to Westorn roports a British politician, Brockway, who attended the Congress made tho assertion that the Vietnamsse poople have "lowered their demands". Ho said that he would inform Johnson and discuss the matter with British foreign Ministor Brown, the propagandist of U.S. "peace nogotiations". This allegation is a more distortion of the stand of the Victnamese peoples; it runs counter to the appeal of the Congross demanding that the U.S. definitively and unconditionally put an end to tho bombing, shelling and other war acts against the D.R.V.N., stop aggression, dofinitivoly and unconditionally withdraw all U.S. and satellite troops and war matorials, dismantle all U.S. bases in South Victnam and lct the Victnamose people settle themselves their internal affairs without interforence from outside, conformity with the platform of the South Victnam N.L.F., the sole authentic representative of the fundamental aSPirations of tho South Vietnamese pcople, The allegation that the Victnamese people have "lowered the demand" in their stand on the Vietnam problem is only profitable to the U.S. imper-— ialists who are trying to bring pressure to bear on the Vietmamose people, fool world opinion which has been staunchly supporting the Victnamese people in their struggle against the U.S. aggression. The leaders of tho D.R.V.N. have also clearly pointed out that if the U.S. government sincerely desires to talk with tho D.R.V.N. government, it must first of all definitively and unconditonally stop the bombing, shelling and other acts of war against the D.R.V.N.
