JAPANESE UNIONS SCORE U.S. ROLE IN VIETNAM |
In a declaration, issued during its convention July 31- August 4, SOHYO, the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (68 unjons, representing 5,670,000 members), said about the war in Vietnam:
"The American aggression in Vietnam is being intensified, and the United States is committing outrageous acts in bombing nonmilitary areas in Vietnam.
"These American actions will increase the possibility of an all-out war. The Sato government is lending active support to this American policy. Bases on Okinawa and in Japan are being used to serve America's aggressive purposes in Vietnam.
"The imperialist policy of capitalist monopoly is becoming more apparent in its designs and is reviving the prewar militarism of Japan.
"This is being demonstrated in the massive discharge of workers, and in the intensifying attacks against wage increases. The moves to establish a single-member constituency system and to amend . the constitution are but a few examples of such imperialist designs. |
"At this critical juncture, we must reaffirm the need for . unity and solidarity and establish a national front to fight against . the imperialists." -
