STUDENTS LAUNCH CANADA-WIDE MOVEMENT TO END WAR IN VIETNAM
After a two-day discussion at a conference in Toronto, March 11-12, representatives of thirteen Canadian student committees to end the war in Vietnam launched the "Student Association to End the War in Vietnam" as a nationwide organization.
The base of the organization includes committees on every major university campus from Vancouver to Montreal and high-school committees in Ottawa, Toronto and London.
The conference took up the structure and principles of the association and pro- Jected future activities. This will include a Canada-wide mobilization against the war on July l.
The statement of principles that was adopted declares in part: "We stand in conmplete opposition to the criminal complicity of Ottawa in this war....Ottawa's diplomatic role has been to shore up and cover up United States intervention in Vietnam. Canadianmade armaments...play a significant role in the American war effort...The United States has no right whatsoever to be in Vietnam, and the presence of U.S. troops in Vietnam is calculated to violently prevent national self-determination for the people of that country. Therefore we demand the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. armies and their allies in order to allow the people of Vietnam to settle their affairs in a manner acceptable to them and in keeping with their national aspirations."
