57. What is the nature of this self-styled national liberation front? It is not a genuine freedom movement. It is not like the African freedom movements. It is not directed primarily against foreigners. The Government of South Viet-Nam is an indigenous Government; it is a Government that functioned for several years with no outside direction or support, other than the normal supports of economic assistance. The self-styled liberation front is linked with subversive movements in Africa. It is part of a movement directed not to achieve national independence, but to achieve certain political objectives of a world revolutionary nature.
