In the House of Commons just shortly before the Christmas recess, Mr. George Brown, the Labour Government's Foreign Minister, assured the House that he was certain the Americans were not deliberately bombing civilians in North Vietnam. Just a few days later, the assistant editor of New York Times, in very widely reported articles, exposed this lie. Never has there been a cletrer expression of this Goverrment's subordination to the American Administration. Every unit in the Labour movement should demand that George Brown apologise for this deception. They should insist that this latest disclosure about the Vietnam War be made the occasion for a complete repudiation of American policy in Vietnam,

A demonstration has been organised for Saturday, January 14th to protest against George Brown's covering up for the American aggressors, It will assemble at Great Russell Square at 3.00 and march to the Foreign Office, Whitehall, A meeting will follow. Full details will be given next week but in the meantime we ask all readers to book this date and publicise the demonstration as widely as possible,
