Conference of Trade Unionists on Vietnam will be held in London on Saturday, March 2nd, 1968, This will open a week of concentrated action against the Vietnam war. The Stop-It Committee, in cooperation with other groups is organising local demonstrations throughout the country aimed mainly at British firms manufacturing material for use by the U.S. and her allies in Vietnam.
