letter, Hugo Blanco told about the postcards, and then continued:
"I ask that you publicize widely two articles sent by my comrade Eduardo Creus, a prisoner on this island. One is about my codefendants and the other reed along precisely the lines charted in the "Tanaka Memorial."
After the initial successes in the 1930's and early 1940's, this overambitious venture of Japanese militarism ended in catastrophe for its promoters. A similar fate befell Hitler who, in Mein Kampf, likewise spelled out in advance his scheme for conquering Europe and the rest of the world.
Driven by their sacred mission to perpetuate the profit system, and intoxicated by the prodigious power at their command, the ruling circles of the United States feel that they are invincible and will succeed where their predecessors failed. They believe that the plans for world hegemony which their hired specialists have put down on paper can be translated into permanent realities.
What a delusion! The resistance they have already encountered in Cuba and Vietnam, and the further revulsion their course will provoke abroad and at home, will eventually lead to their own downfall, too. The point is to prevent these nuclear-armed imperialist brigands from dragging the American people and the rest of mankind into the abyss along with then.

“Abancay: The campesino leaders Juan Villegas and Dionisio Salinas, dynamic union organizers, are in jail here. Since the government recognizes the right of association and so they could not be accused of 'the crime of unionization,' they have been accused of ‘crimes against the public peace and the security of the state.' Their names should be added to the list of political prisoners in Peru.
"Lima: 'Miss Universe 1967' [a Peruvian] arrived after her trip to Vietnam to encourage the North American troops. There was a demonstration in the city that repudiated that servile attitude of collaboration with imperialist aggression; they threw rotten eggs at her and distributed leaflets supporting the Vietnamese people. The riot squad brutally attacked the demonstrators, injuring many and inprisoning eight students."
