from a Hull reader The mass meeting*support of the International War Crimes Tribunal in Hull was very successful. Both the attendance (over 120) and the spirit of the meeting were encouraging. The main speakers were Lawrence Daly, general secretary of the Scottish mineworkers and a member of the War Crimes Tribunal, and Ken Coates, director of the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. Lawrence Daly was able to report on his recent visit to Vietnam in a highly authoritative manner. The chairman, Tom Watkinson of the N.U.R., was an indication of strong local trade union support. Apart from him other sponsors of the meeting included George Andrews, TGWU; Jack Ashwell, TGWU; Dan Brown, Foundryworkers; Tony Clarke, CAWU; Dave Godman, GMWU, Walt Joester, ABU; Alf Mellors, TGWU; Barry Nettleton, AScW; and David Shenton, TGW regional secretary. The film Threatening Sky was also shown, and was very well received. The collection of £10 was an indication of the lively character of the meeting in contrast to some held on Vietnam locally. * Held on Friday, March 17th.
