Wales needs freedom to create a just and benevolent social system for its own people. We can do miracles merely with the opportunity to develop our abundant resources for themselves. Today paigns supporting a struggle in a small, developing country. The Chinese, the Koreans, the Cubans, and the Algerians had to carry on their struggle by themselves without the assistance of people in other countries, while we are staging campaigns to support the Vietnamese people in Belgiun, France, Italy, Britain,.the Scandinavian countries, the U.S., Japan, etc. The Vietnamese Revolution is having a great moral influence on people all over the world.

Down with the world imperialist system!
Long live the conference of the vanguard organizations of European youth to coordinate support for the Vietnamese Revolution and the struggle against NATO, to open the door of the new stage of the international anti-imperialist struggle!

In that poor country a million small children have already been wounded or killed, many of them horribly burned by napalm bombs and white phosphorous.
Wales must help to establish a peaceful, stable, and generous international order. Only a free Wales can do that. And towards this end, Rhondda must now lead the way -- for Rhondda, for Wales, for the World.
WHY THE COLOMBIAN GUERRILLAS WON'T GIVE UP
By Guillermo Bonilla
There are three countries in Latin America (Colombia, Venezuela and Guatemala) where the guerrillas, after some initial setbacks, have finally set deep and solid roots among the local populace and have reached a level of growth both in quantity and quality (number of guerrillas and military equipment) as to make them a real challenge to the governments of these countries. We will confine this article to the development of the
