The action of the Johnson administration in ordering its planes not to bomb Hanoi is a direct repudiation of Brown's statement in the House of Commons, denying that the Americans were bombing civilian targets. It highlights his lying and the whole hypocrtical and immoral position of the British Government. Brown is a disgrace to Labour, he should be forced to resign - those who speaking of his obvious sincerity are making a big error of judgement. But Brown's resignation would be meaningless unless it was accompanied by a complete change in the Government's Vietnam policy. The U.S. action in stopping the bombing proves another point too: it pays to protest, it can bring results. We should feel encouraged to protest all the more.
