2 columns with frequent subtitles.

You may soon be sent to Vietnam. You have heard about the war in the news; your

officer's will give you pep talks about it. But you probably feel as confused and uncertain

about it as most Americans do. Many people will tell you to just follow orders and leave

the thinking to others. But you have the right to know as much about this war a: anyone

clsc. After all, it's you---not your congres sman--- who might get killed.

WHY ARE WE FIGHTING IN VIETNAM ?

We are supposed to be fighting to protect democracy in Vietnam, and yet our own

government admits that South Vietnam is a dictatorship. General Ky, the latest military

dictator, is as bad as they come. - Insert here quote about Ky admiring Hitler etc. -

--.

.....

General Ky doesn't mean much to us; we're not even sure how to pronounce his name.

But the South Vietnamese have lived under him änd men like him for ten years. As far

as they are concerned, we are fighting on the side of Hitlerism; and they hope we lose.

WHO IS THE ENEMY?

U.s. military spokesmen have often said that their greatest problem is finding the

chemy. "The enemy" they say, "is everywhere." The old woman feeding her chickens

may have a stock of hand grenades in her hut.

The little boy who trails after the America

soldiers during the day slips out to give information to the guerillas at night.

The

washerwoman at the American air base brings a bomb to work one day.

"It is impossible

says the military, "to tell who is the Viet Cong and who is the people."

And so, because the whole Vietnamese people seems to be the enemy, the military

is taking no chances. They use tear gas---a weapon only used against civilian population:

never against soldiers. They order American troops to fire at women and children---

because women and children, after all, are firing at American troops. American fighter

planes destroy civilian villages with napalm; American B52s are flattening whole regions.

That is why the war in Vietnam is so often called a "dirty war."

When the South Vietnamese people see you in your foreign uniform, they will think of

you as their enemy. You are the ones bombing their towns. They don't know whether

yor're a draftee or a volunteer, whether you're for the war or against it; but they're not

taking any chances either.

FREE ELECTIONS

The Vietnamese would dearly like to vote the forcigners out of their country, but

they have never had the chance. According to the Geneva Agreement of 1954, there were

supposed to be elections throughout Victnam in 1956, Dut the U.S. government was

afraid that our man in Vietnam, Premier Diem, would lose. In fact, President Eisen'w

himself admitted that "Ho Chi Minh.... 80%' (Fisenhower quote). So we decided not to

allown any election there until we were sure we could win. Diem set up a political police

foree and put all political opp

cion---Communist and anti-@ numist---in ail. 85 1959

it was clear that there weren't going to be any elections, and the guerillas known as the

Viet Cong began to fight back. By 1903 our gorcriment was fed up with Dien, but still

wasn't willing to rist: elections. Our ClA helped a group of Vietnamese generals to over-

throw Diem and kill him. Since then there have been a series of "botter" military

dictors. General Ky---the man who admires Hitler---is the latest onc.

KITTHIG FOR DEMOCRACY

Your job as a soldier is supposed to be "to win the people of South Vietnam." Win

them to what? Not democracy. We keep democracy for ourselves---they get, nilitary

dictator's. What then? The American way of life?

But why should they care iny more

about that than we care about the Vietnamese way of life? Wie can't speak their language

or even pronounce their names. We don't know anything about theis religion or even what

it is. We never even heard of Vietnam until Washington decided to run it.

You are supposed to be fighting to "save the Vietnamese people from Communism. "

Certainly Communist influence is very strong in the National Liberation Front, the rebel

government. Yet most of the people support the NLF. Why? Many of the same people

who now lead the NLF led the Vietnamese independence movement against the Japanese

during World War Il and then went on to fight against French colonial rule. Most Vietname:

think of the NLF leaders as their country's outstanding patriots. In fact, many anti-

Communists have joined the guerilla forces in the belief that the most important thing is

to get rid of foreign domination and military dictators. On the other hand, very few

Vietnamese support the official government of General Ky. His army has low morale and

a high desertion rate.

THE TOUGH GUERILLAS

The newspapers and television have told us again and agian what a brave, tough fighter

the Vietnamese guerilla is. Short of ammunition and without any air cover, he can beat

forces that outnumber him five or ten to one.. Why do they have such high morale? They

are not draftees; no draftees ever fight like that. They are not high-paid, professional

soldiers; most of them are peasants who work their fields. They are not well-trained;

they can't even spare the ammunition for target practice.

Their secret is that they know why they are fighting. They didn't hear about Vietnam

in the newspapers; they've lived there all their lives. While we were in high school,

they were living under the Diem regime and hating it. Now American planes are bombing

their towns and strafing their fields; American troops have occupied their country; and if

they complain out loud, an American-supported dictator sentences them to jail or the

firing squad. Is it any wonder that they fight so fiercely?

CRUSHING THE RESISTANCE

The war in Vietnam is not being fought according to the rules. Civilians are gassed.

Prisoners are tortured. Our planes drop incendiary bombs on civilian villages. Our

soldiers shoot at women and children. Your officers will tell you that it is all necessary,

that we couldn't win the war any other way. And they are right. Americans are no more

cruel than any other people; American soldiers don't enjoy this kind of war. But if you

are going to wage war against an entire people, you have to become cruel.

The ordinary

German soldier in occupied Europe wasn't especially cruel, either. But as the resistance

movements grew, he became cruel. He shot at women and children because they were

shooting at him; he never asked himself why they were shooting at him. When a certain

town became a center of resistance activity, he followed his orders and destroyed the

## Page 6

o...si ang

- 3-

whole town. He knew that SS men were torturing captured resistance fighter's, but it

wasn't his business to interfere.

FOLLOWING ORDERS

As a soldier you have been trained to obey orders, but as a human being you must

take responsibility for your own acts. International and American law recognize that

an individual soldier, even if acting under orders, must bear final legal and moral rc-

sponsibility for what he does. This principle became a part of law after World War II,

when the Allied nations, meeting in London, decided that German war criminals must

be punished even if they committed war crimes under orders. This principle was the

basis of the Nuremberg trials. We believe that the entire war in Viet nam is criminal

and immoral. We believe that the atrocities which are necessary to wage this war

against the people of Vietnam are inexcusable.

OPPOSE THE WAR

*Ve hope that you too find yourself, as a human being, unable to tolerate this night-

ma: " war —we hope that you will oppose it. We don't know what kind of risks we are

takil g in giving you this leaflet; you won't know what risk you will be taking in opposing

the war.

Several GIs have already refused to fight in Vietnam and have been court-

martialed. They have shown great courage.

We believe that they, together with other

courageous men who will join them, will have influence far out of proportion to their

numbers.

There may be many other things you can do; since you are in the service, you know

better than civilians what sorts of opposition are possible. But whatever you do, keep

your eyes open. Draw your own conclusions from the things you see, read and hear.

At orientations sessions, don't be afraid to ask questions, and if you're not

satisfied with the answer, keep asking. Take every chance you get to talk to your fellow

soldiers about the war.

Demand to hear civilian speakers who oppose the war debate

military spokesmen.

You may feel the war is wrong, and still decide not to face a courtmartial. You may

then find yourself in Vietnam under orders.

You will have to do some fighting — but don't

do any more than you have to. Good luck.

FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE

The April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times"

newspaper contained a

full-page advertisement captioned

What Is Really Happening in Cuba," placed by the Fair Play

for Cuba Committee (FPCC).

This

advertisement announced

the formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the

FPCC intended to promulgate

"the truth about revolutionary

Cuba" to neutralize the distorted American press.

"The New York Times" edition of January 11, 1961,

reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States

Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,

DI. CHARLES A. SANTOS-BUCH identified himself and ROBERT TABER

as organizers of the FPCC.

He also testified he and TABER

obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied

toward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.

On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the

first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle

between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)

elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby

influence FPCC policy. This

source added that during the

past year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership

to minimize the role of these and other organizations in the

FPCC so that their influence

as of May, 1963, was negligible.

The SWP has been designated by the Attorney

General of the United States pursuant to

Executive Order 10450.

On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that

VINCENT "TED" LEE, FPCC National Office Director, was then

formulating FPCC policy and had indicated that he had no

intention of permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any

other organization. This source stated that LEE believed

that the FPCC should advocate resumption of diplomatic

relations between Cuba and the United States and should

support the right of cubans to manage their revolution without

interference from other nations.

LEE did not advocate

supporting the Cuban revolution per se.

FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE (cont'd.)

The November 22, 1963, edition of "The New York

Times" reported that Sanator THOMAs J. DODD of Connecticut

had callad FPCC "the chief public relations instrument of

the Castro network in the United States.'

It is to be noted

that Senator DODD was

a member of the Senate Internal

Security subcommittee which twice conducted hearings on the

FPCC.

The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York

World Telegram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro

to go out of business and that its prime

activity during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-

castro street rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction

of an active propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-

campaigns. Its comparatively brief span of life was

attributed to mounting anti-Castro American public opinion,

the 1962 Congressional hearings which disclosed FPCC financing

by Castro's United Nations Delegation, and ultimately, the

bad publicity which the FPCC received

from disclosure of

activities on its behalf by suspected

Presidential assassin

LEE H. OSWALD.

On February 6, 1964, the previously mentioned

second source

advised

that V. T. LEE had recently remarked

that the FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to

organize another similar organization.

On April 13, 1964, a third source advised that

there had not been any FPCC

activity in many months and that

the FPCC had been dissolved.

peaceful coexistence, complete disarmament and true freedom for

peoples of the world,

and that these solutions will be reached

mainly through the united efforts of all democratic elements in

our

country, composed essentially of the working people allied in

the unity of Negroes and other minorities with whites.

We further

fully recognize that the greatest threat to American democracy

comes from the racist and right wing forces in coalition with the

most reactionary sections of the economic power structure, using the

tool of anti-Communism to divide and destroy the unified struggle

of the working people.

As young people in the forces struggling

for democracy, we shall actively strive to defeat these reactionary

and neo-fascist elements and to achieve complete freedom and

these struggles we feel the American people will realize the

viability of the socialist alternative."
