70,000 IN PARIS DEMONSTRATE AGAINST U.S. ROLE IN VIETNAM
More than 70,000 persons demonstrated in Paris November 26 against U.S. imperialist aggression in Vietnam. After a parade to the Place de la République, speakers called for the collection of money, medicine, and basic necessities to help the Vietnamese. On the tribune, flags were flown of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the National Liberation Front. The Communist party sponsors of the rally also displayed three American flags. This inconsistent note was in line with the policy of "peaceful coexistence" with imperialism advocated by the French CP.
