[596]“The struggle to build the American re-

[599]the human race from nuclear destruction
[601]as it is one for socialism. America is
[603]not a healthy society. I defend terrorism.
[604]Bank robbery is fine, Sut it does little
[606]to weaken the government; it only vuts
[608]money into hands of revolutionaries. As
[610]for the killing of President KENNEDY, shoot-
[611]ing the President is a legitimate, left-
[612]wing act of terror.’

[1649]war in Vietne: was arainst our national interest because:
[1651]"1. The policy of our eovernrent is now to send larce
[1652]numbers of American GIs to firht in Vietnam. A hundred thousand
[1653]of our men died in the Korean “ar. We don't want this to hapnen
[1654]again.
[1656]"2, The var in Vietnam is destroyine cur democracy. ‘the
[1657]American people reiected Goldwater's policies of war, but
[1658]President Johnson has defied his mandates for neace and nas
[1659]escalated the war in Vietnan. Even thourch Concress has not
[1660]debated American involvement in Vietnam, it hes automatically
[1661]supported all of the covernment's actions.
[1663]"3, It is in ouv interest tc have a strone United Yations.
[1664]But our country violates the Ui Charter and weakens the Us when
[1665]we intervene in South Vietnam and the Dominican Fepublic.

[1711]ATTENTION ALL MILITARY PERSONDZL
[1713]You may soon be sent to Vietnam. You have heard about the war in the news; .
[1714]your officers will give you pep talks about it. But you probably feel as confused and
[1716]uncertain as most Americans do.
[1717]and leave the thinking to others.
[1719]-Many people will tell you to just follow orders
[1720]But you have the right to know as much about this
[1722]war as anyone, After all, it's you—not your congressman—who might get killed,
[1724]WHY ARE WE FIGHTING IN VIETNAM 2
[1726]We are supposed to be fighting to protect
[1727]democracy in Vietnam, and yet our own gov-
[1728]ernment admits that South Vietnam is run by
[1729]a dictatorship. General Ky, the latest mili-
[1730]tary dictator, is as badas they come. Ina
[1731]recent interview he said: "People ask me
[1732]who my heroes are. I have only one -- Hit-
[1733]ler, I admire Hitler because he pulled his
[1734]- country together when it was in a terrible
[1735]state." (London Sunday Mirror, July 4, 1965).
[1737]General Ky doesn't mean muchtous; we're
[1738]not even sure how to pronounce his name, but
[1740]the South Vietnamese have lived under men:
[1742]like him for years. As far as the Vietnamese
[1743]are concerned, we are fighting on the side of
[1744]Hitlerism; and they hope we lose..
[1746]‘WHO IS THE. ENEMY? 7
[1748]U.S. military spokesmen have often said
[1750]that their greatest problem is finding the ene-
[1751]my. The enemy, they say, is everywhere.
[1752]The old woman feeding her chickens may have
[1753]astock of hand grenades in her hut. The lit-
[1755]tle boy who trails after the American sol- - ~
[1757]diers during the day slips out to give informa-
[1758]tion to the guerillas at night. The washer-
[1759]woman atthe Americanair base bringsa bomb
[1760]to work one day. -It is impossible, say the
[1762]military, to tell which are the Viet Cong and
[1764]which are the civilians.
[1766]Andso, because the whole Vietnamese peo-
[1767]ple seem to be the enemy, the military is
[1768]taking no chances. They use tear gas -- a
[1769]weapon designed for use against civilians.
[1770]They order American troops to fire at women
[1771]andchildren -- because women and children,
[1772]after all, ane firingat American troops. Am-
[1773]erican fighter planes destroy civilian villages
[1775]with napalm; American B-52's are flattening
[1776]That is why the war in Viet- -
[1778]whole regions.
[1779]nam is so often called a "dirty war."

[1786]"1956.
[1788]-youas their enemy. You are the ones bomb-
[1790]ing their towns. They don't know whether
[1792]. you're a draftee or a volunteer, whether
[1794]you're for the war or against it; but they're
[1796]not taking any ¢ chances either.
[1798]FREE ELECTIONS
[1800]The Vietnamese would like to vote the for-
[1801]eigners out of their country, but they have
[1802]According to the
[1803]Geneva Agreement of 1954, there were sup-
[1804]posed to be elections throughout Vietnam in
[1805]But the U.S, government was certain
[1806]that our man in Vietnam, Premier Diem,
[1807]would lose. So we decided not to allow any
[1808]election until we were sure we could win.
[1809]Diem set up a political police force and put
[1810]all political opposition -- Communist and
[1811]anti-Communist -- in jail, By 1959, it was
[1812]clear there weren't going to be any elections,
[1813]and the guerillas known as the Viet Cong be-
[1814]gan to fight back, By 1963 our government
[1815]wasfedup with Diem, but still wasn't willing
[1816]torisk elections. Our CIA helped a group of
[1817]Vietnamese generals to overthrow Diem and
[1818]killhim. Since then there have been a series
[1819]of "better" military dictators. General Ky --
[1821]' the man who admires Hitler -- is the latest
[1823]one.
[1825]FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY
[1827]Your jobasasoldier is suppe ied to be “to
[1828]win the people of South Vietnam." Win them
[1829]to what -- democracy? No, we keep military
[1830]dictatorsin power. What then? The Ameri-
[1831]can way of life? But why should they care
[1832]any more about our way of life than we care
[1833]about theirs? We can't speak their language
[1834]or even pronounce their names. We don't
[1835]know anything about their religion or even
[1836]what itis. We never even heard of Vietnam
[1837]until Washington decided to run it.

[4273]The April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times"
[4274]newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned
[4275]"What Is Really Happening in Cuba," placed by the Fair Play
[4276]for Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced
[4277]the formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the
[4278]FPCC intended to promulgate ‘the truth about revolutionary
[4279]Cuba" to neutralize the distorted American press.
[4281]. "The New York Times". edition of January 11, 1961,
[4282]reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States
[4283]Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1951,
[4285]Dr. CHARLES A. SANTOS-BUCH identified himself and ROBERT TABER
[4286]as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and TABER
[4287]obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied
[4288]toward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.
[4290]On May 15, 1963, a source advised that during the
[4291]first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle
[4292]between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
[4293]elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby
[4294]influence FPCC policy. This source added that during the
[4295]past year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership
[4296]to minimize the role of these and other organizations in the
[4297]PPCC so that their influence as of May, 1963, was negligible.
[4299]The SWP has been designated by the Attorney
[4300]General of the United States pursuant to
[4301]Executive Order 19450.
[4303]On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that
[4304]VINCENT "TED" LEE, FPCC National Office Director, was then
[4305]formulating FPCC policy and had indicated that he had no
[4306]intention of permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any
[4307]other organizaticn. This source stated that LEE believed
[4308].that the FPCC should advocate resumption of diplomatic
[4309]relations between Cuba and the United States and should
[4310]support the right of Cubans to manage their revolution without
[4311]interference from other nations. LEE did not advocate
[4312]supporting the Cuban revolution per se.

[4330]FPCC.
[4332]The December ?7, 1963, edition of "The New York
[4333]World Telegram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro
[4334]FPCC was seeking to go out of business and that its prime
[4335]activity during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-
[4336]Castro street rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction
[4337]of an active propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-
[4338]Cuba campaigns. ts comparatively brief span of life was
[4339]attributed to mounting anti-Castro American public opinion,
[4340]the 1962 Congressional hearings which-.disclosed FPCC financing
[4341]by Castro's United Nations Delegation, md ultimately, the
[4342]pad publicity which the FPCC received from disclosure of
[4343]activities on its behalf by suspected Presidential assassin
[4344]LEE H. OSWALD.
[4346]On February 6, 1964, the previously mentioned

[4641]elements: in our country, composed essentially of the workine people
[4642]allied in the unity of Megroes and other minorities with whites,
[4643]We further fully recognize that the ereatest threat to American
[4644]democracy comes from the racist and right wing forces in
[4646]coalition with the most reectionary sections of the economic power
[4647]structure, using the tool of anti~Communism to divide and des troy
[4648]the unified struegle of the working veople. As young veople in

[4805]this organization was formed by the nationwide supporter clubs
[4806]of the publication "Ys."
[4808]The above issue, page 6, set forth the Founding Deelaration
[4809]of YSA. This declaration stated YSA recognizes the Socialist
[4810]“orkers Party (SWP) as the only existing political leadership

[4846]The March 1, 1954, issue of the "Young Socialist Challenge,"
[4847]published as page three of "Labor Action,” an official publication
[4848]of the Indpendent Socialist League (ISL), contained an article
[4849]concerning the creation of the YSL, whicn pointed out that at a
[4850]unity conference occurring February 12-14, 1954, at Labor Action
[4851]Hall, New York, New York, a merger occurred between the Young
[4852]People's Socialist League (YPSL) and the Socialist Youth League
[4853](SYL). The new organization was named the YSL.
[4855]A source on June 15, 19544, made available the minutes of
[4856]the YSL's National Action Committee meeting of April 13, 1954,
[4857]which reflected that one -S. SITEMAN, "Chairman of SP (Socialist
[4858]Party) Youth Committee," had objected to a statement appearing in
[4859]"Commerce," a New York University journal, which indicated that
[4860]the YPSL merged with the SYL to form tne YSL, He explained that
[4861]the YPSL did not merge with anyone; that it continued to exist as
[4862]the youth section of the Socialist Party. He explained that a
[4863]small group of the YPSL was dropped, expelled, or suspended from
[4864]that organization and joined the SYL, which he characterized as the
[4865]youth group of the "Trotskyite ISL." He explained ttt after these
[4866]few former members of the YPSL joined the SYL, the SYL then pro-
[4867]ceeded to change its name for its own purposes, oO
[4869]; On April 9, 1956, a source advised as follows: The YSL
[4870]has frequently worked in close sympathetic cooperation with the
[4871]TSL toward similar objectives, although each major issue given
[4872]mutual consideration is decided upon by these organizations
[4873]individudally. The YSL serves as an apprenticeship for the ISL,
[4874]but the ISL selection of members from YSL ranks is made man
[4875]individual and personal basis. In many instances YSL members are
[4876]also members of the ISL. The YSL and the ISL utilize the same
[4877]printing house in New York City and the YSL publication is printed
[4878]as an insert in "Labor Action." Frequently, lecturers before the
[4879]YSL are ISL members.
[4881]The September 22, 1958, issue of "Young Socialist
[4882]Challenge," which appeared as page five of "Labor Action," contain-
[4883]ed an undated statement from the National Committee of the YSL :
[4884]which indicated that the YSL had been dissolved. The s@tement
[4885]appeared under the caption "Join the Young Peoples Socialist League."
[4887]The YPSL is publicly known as the youth affiliate of the
[4888]Socialist Party - Social Democratic Federation.
[4890]A source advised on June.12, 1958, that the Berkeley,
[4891]California, unit of the YSL was formed in 1954, following the unity
[4892]convention held in New York in February 1954, which combined the
[4893]forces of the SYL and the YPSL. The source stated that the YSL
[4894]in the San Franciseo Bay Area continued to operate under the
[4895]leadership and guidancecf ISL members.
[4897]A source advised on October 9, 1958, that the YSL Branch © 1
[4898]dissolved itself in line with the YSL national organization, and
[4899]the branch members joined the YPSL.

[4917]of a split within the leadership of the Socialist Workers Party (S¥P).
[4918]The article stated that when the Hitler-Stalin Pact was signed and

[4921]in nature and stated it would not support either imperialist Gamp.

[4924]an account of the Fifth National Convention of the’WP, held March :
[4925]24-27, 1949, in New York City, which reflected the change of name |
[4926]of the organization from the WP to the Independent Socialist League
[4927](ISL) in order to emphasize the character of the group as a
[4928]oropaganda group for the spreading of socialist ideas and not as a
[4929]full-fledged political party.
[4931]The July 14, 1958, issue of “Labor Action", an official
[4932]sublication of the Ish, contained an article captioned “The ISL

[4934]socialist democracy and against the two systems of exploitation
[4935]gshich now divide the world: capitalism and Stalinism. The ISL,
[4936]is a Marxist movement, looks to the working class and its ever-present
[4937]struggle as the basic progressive force in society. The ISL is
[4938]organized to spread the ideas of socialism in the labor movement and

[4974]YOUTH FOR JOBS (YFJ), aka
[4975]Youth for Jobs Committee
[4977]A source advised in July 1963, that several recent
[4978]graduates and dropouts of high schools in Oakland and Berkeley
[4979]California, had on April 17, 1953, attended the organizing meeting
[4980]of Youth for Jobs (YFJ) in Oekland, California, in response to:
[4981]letters prepared by ROSCOE PROCTOR and DOUGLAS WACHTER. At this
[4982]meeting, WACHTER gave reports on the unemployment problem among
[4983]youth and the need for an organization of this type. FROCTOR also
[4984]‘spoke at this meeting. :
[4986]In May 1963, a second source advised that
[4987]ROSCOE PROCTOR attended meetings of the
[4988]National Executive Committee of the Communist
[4989]Party (CP), USA, during May 1963, in New
[4990]York City. —
[4992]In January 1963,a-third source identified
[4993]DOUGLAS WACHTER as the Chairman of a CP re-
[4994]cruiting class held in January 1963, in
[4995]Berkeiey, California.
[4997]In May 1963, the first source advised that in May 1963,
[4998]a lé-page pamphlet entitled "Youth for Jops+Aims and Purposes"
[4999]was distributed. This pamphlet described YFJ as an independent
[5000]organization of young people working together to find solutions to
[5001]current vocational, social and recreational problems; it specified
[5002]that YFJ is not affiliated with any other organizations, but would
[5003]fully support the labor movement and any other organizations striv-
[5004]ing to combat unemployment and to increase job security for all
[5005]employees. ; .
[5007]. In dune 1963, the third source advised that at a meeting of
[5008]the Political Committee of the CP of the East Bay Region (Alameda
[5009]and Contra Costa Counties, California) held in June 1963, VIRGINIA
[5010]PROCTOR, member of that Committee, gave a report on a draft daocu-
[5011]ment read before the National Committee, CP, USA, by GUS HALL, mem~
[5012]ber of the National Committee, CP, USA, In connection with the
[5013]portion of the report dealing with youth, PROCTOR said "A report
[5014]from this area on the activity around Youth for Jobs organized by
[5015]ROSCOE PROCTOR will be included in the final document, as one of
[5016]the signs of the Party work in organizing the unemployed."
[5018]On May 3, 1965, a fourth source advised that ROSCOE
[5019]PROCTOR has promoted and guided YFJ since its inception and contin-
[5020]ues to do so. The source stated that meetings of YFJ are held at
[5021]the YFJ Club House, 1095 - 59th Street, Oakland, California, and
[5022]at homes of individual members.
