FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TIRES FRIDAY, JULY 8,1966 TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREfl ., ... , ..,, a , Warsaw Pact Nations Pledge Viet Cong Aid BUCHAREST, Romania (M)- The Communist Warsaw Pact members pledged yesterday to send volunteers to Viet Nam to fight "the American aggressors" if the North Vietnamese govern- 4 ment asked for them. In a Joint declaration, they call- ed the U.S. bombing raids June 29 on fuel depots in the suburbs of the North Vietnamese capital of Hanoi and the port of Haiphong "a new and more dangerous step" threatening world peace. They warned the United States of "the consequences." The pact nations also promised to give North Viet Nam "growing and many-sided moral and politi- cal support," including defensive weapons and economic aid. Evaluate Promises The promises of help for North Viet Nam are difficult to evaluate. The Soviet Union and most other Warsaw Pact members have of- fered volunteers before. But there is no evidence any have gone. More aid has been promised publicly for a long time by Moscow and other pact capitals. But since the amounts and type of aid are never made public, the significance of such promises is obscure. The declaration marked an end to the Soviet bloc conference that opened Monday. Attending were party leaders, premiers or both from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union. List Four Points The problems involved Soviet efforts to gain greater control over East European Communist armies and to revise trade terms within the bloc. Communiques covering both subjects lacked any expressions of unanimity. The members of the East Euro- pean military alliance, who held a summit meeting in Bucharest from Monday through Wednesday, listed four points: 1) They firmly warn the United States of the consequences of the war, the "consequences" not spe- cified. 2) They "give and will give" North Viet Nam "growing and many-sided moral and political support," including economic aid and defensive weapons needed to meet the new steps in the war. This terminology has often been used by Communist countries, with the amount of aid never specified. 3) They are ready to offer vol- unteers to aid of the Vietnamese people, if Hanoi asks for them. This promise has been made by the Soviet Union since April 1965 and by most other Warsaw Pact countries since then but there have been no indications of any volunteers going. 4) They charged the United States with trying to expand the war to Laos and Cambodia aid called for observance of the 1954 and 1962 Geneva agreements on Indochina. The declaration, sign- ed Wednesday night and made public today, called for "unity of action" by Communist countries to support the Communist cause in Viet Nam. Reject Efforts China has rejected Moscow-ied efforts to unify the Communist camp in Vietnamese support ef- forts in order to establish a Soviet-American understanding. The declaration said action of American troops, "as well as their satellites in Viet Nam, are crimes against peace and humanity." The "satellites" were identified as Australia, New Zealand, Thai- land, the Philippines and South Korea. The declaration also noted that West Germany is giving "political and material support to the United States in Viet Nam." "The countries which help the aggression by armed deliveries, which allow the U.S.A. to use their territory for the transporta- tion and supply of American troops in Viet Nam, are accomplices in the aggression," the declaration said. It called American statements of willingness to hold peace talks "completely false, as they are ac- companied not only by the con- tinuation but also by the extension of the military actions." England, India Join in Attempt U.S. GO VERNORS: Give Partial Support To Viet Nam War To Seek End to Viet Nam War Leaders To Visit Russia Next Week Oppose U.S. Bombing Of Hanoi, Haiphong; Desire Russian Aid LONDON (P)-India and Britain joined last night in calling for a Viet Nam truce and a peace con- ference at Geneva. The prime ministers of the two Commonwealth countries-Indira - Gandhi and Harold Wilson-fly next week to Moscow to enlist Soviet support for an early peace parley in Geneva. Britain and Russia are cochair- men of the Geneva Conference on Indochina. India presides over the International Control Commission assigned to check the agreements in Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia worked out at the Geneva Con- ference of 1954. Prospects of Mrs. Gandhi and Wilson succeeding seemed bleak judging by a declaration issued in Bucharest, Romania, after sum- mit talks between leaders of the Soviet Union and six European Communist states. These Warsaw Pact nations denounced what they called American "criminal aggres- sion" against North Viet Nam and pledged all-out aid for Hanoi- including any military volunteers the North Vietnamese ask for. In Kyoto, Japan, Secretary of State Dean Rusk offered an un- mistakable warning to Red China. Any "insane" nuclear attack on an American ally in the region will bring retaliation "with whatever means would be required." He said there has, however, been no evi- dence to suggest Peking may be contemplating such an attack nor did Rusk mention Red China by name. Viet Nam was the theme of debate in the British House of Commons with lawmakers deeply divided on the issues. The Wilson government was under bitter at- tack on two fronts. Conservative leader E d w a r d Heath assailed Wilson for dis- associating Britain from the American bombing of oil depots near Hanoi and Haiphong. He said the move was "not logical nor honorable" and could only en- courage the Chinese and North Vietnamese to go on waiting for the Americans and their allies to "wilt and weaken." Left-wing Laborites, for dif- ferent reasons, were equally hos- tile to the Wilson policy of back- ing President Johnson's Viet- namese policy except for the bombings. One of them, Frank Allaun, asked Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart if the Labor gov- 0 ernment now is saying: "We regret one-tenth of the dirty American war in Viet Nam but support the other nine-tenths?" Stewart defined the major pur- pose of Wilson's sudden mission to Moscow July 16 to 18: "He will impress upon the So- viet government our view that negotiations are urgently needed and that the Geneva cochairmen, Mr. Andrei Gromyko and myself, have heavy obligations to South- east Asia and to the world to pro- mote negotiations." Stewart defined the steps Brit- ain thinks must be taken soon if the Vietnamese war is iaot to spread to a wider conflict: 1) First a truce. 2) A phased pullout of all for- eign troops, to be arranged at a new Geneva peace conference. i )r 31 Finalliy n. fre~ choic by all
