The B.C. Peace Council last
week wired the Federal govern-
ment strongly protesting the re-
fusal of Immigration Minister
Robert Andras to grant visas to
three Vietnamese visitors
carrying passports of the Pro-
visional Revolutionary Gov-
ernment of South Vietnam.

The wire demanded that visas
be granted at once. The three
are: Ly VanSau, deputy to Mme
Nguyen Van Binh, Dr. Le Van
Loc. responsible for medicalaid
to Vietnam from foreign coun-
tries, and Mme. Pnam Trih
Minh, chairman of the Union of
Vietnam Women. They had been
invited to tell Canadian audi-
ences about conditions in their
country.

Joining the protest this week,

Minister Trudeau stating that
“the Finnish Organization of
Canada strongly protests your
government's decision refusing
visas to three delegates of the
Provisional Revolutionary Gov-
ernment of South Vietnam. 2

“Our country, asa member of
the International Commission
of Control and Supervision must
recognize all signators of the
truce agreement if we are to
effectively aid in the bringing
about of a stable lasting peace.”

Ottawa continues to shut its
eyes to the obvious contradic-
tion of recognizing the PRG of
South Vietnam in the Paris
Peace accords, but refuses to re-
cognize their existence when it
comes to issuing visas.

Press Drive and urge all trade
unionists to contribute as gener-
ously as possible.

The daily press in reporting, or
should I say distorting, the Land
Commission Act to the people of
British Columbia expresses more
clearly than anything the ab-
solute need for a people’s paper.
A paper that will cut through the
verbiage, half truths and un-
truths, and place the true picture
before the public. The Pacific
Tribune is such a paper; | recom-
ment it to all trade unionists.

” BILL STEWART,
SEC’Y MARINE-WORKERS

| have been a reader and sup-
porter of the Pacific Tribune for
many years. This paper has
consistently supported the trade
union movement in its many
struggles to improve the lot of
working people.

In the period that lies ahead,
the labor movement will need a
stronger labor press speaking out
with more boldness on the great
social issues of the day. ! trust that
the financial drive to maintain
the Tribune, a staunch supporter
of organized labor, will “be
successful.
