Crimes Tribunal has been established in Norway, reports Orientering, the weekly newspaper of the Norwegian People's Socialist party. The committee has been subjected to pressure. One critic recommended that the committee, rather than launching a direct attack on American policy in Vietnam, should "seek practical steps and solutions which can lead to a truce and bring both sides to the conference table."
. In reply, Paal Drekke, one of the committee's sponsors, said: "Our role, if we dare play it, is to dissociate ourselves so clearly and unequivocally from our ally's policy of aggression that it may make some people feel uncomfortable. Our place must be at the side of the decent Americans themselves. They need the support of world opinion, not a mistaken kind of friendship for America." .
