MEXICO CITY -- Revolutionary-minded students here are circulating an "exhortation" to "the governments of the socialist countries and to the Communist parties" to mobilize immediate effective aid for North Vietnam and the guerrilla fighters in South Vietnam,
The appeal was adopted at rallies held in the University of Mexico March 25,
The full text is as follows:
-~Bx
The revolutionary students of the University, meeting in rallies March 25, 1965, conscious of their equality of standing as revolutionists, direct the following exhortation to the governments of the socialist countries and to the Communist parties:
(1) Inasmuch as the principle of proletarian international ism has been reduced to mere words;
(2) Inasmuch as peaceful coexistence has been broken with impunity with the war in Vietnam as well as in many other places;
(3) Inasmuch as the struggle of the Vietnamese people must be actively supported by all the socialist governments and Commun ist parties;
(4) Inasmuch as according to proletarian internationalism an attack on a sister country is considered to be an attack on all the socialist countries;
(5) Inasmuch as the socialist strength in armaments and technology is as great or greater than that of imperialism;
(6) Inasmuch as imperialism has lost all restraint and since an aggression in Vietnam that is left without appropriate answer can give it the feeling that it can attack Cuba and other socialist countries with impunity;
(7) Inasmuch as imperialism must be restrained if we do not wish to run the risk of global annihilation;
(8) Inasmuch as imperialism has broken all the elementary rules of international treaties;
(9) Inasmuch as imperialism has reached the point where reasoning is completely. useless;
(10) And, finally, inasmuch as the Vietcong (Front of National Liberation) has * publicly stated that a negotiated settlement is impossible and has appealed to all the peoples and revolutionary forces to intervene directly in South Vietnam, we exhort the social~ ist governments and the Communist parties to:
Grant unconditional, active and immediate aid.
‘We exhort immediate effective aid from the socialist coun=tries, and especially from the Soviet Union, for, as Che Guevara said: "It is the duty of the socialist countries to end their tacit complicity with the exploiting countries of the West."
