FLASHES-MAY 3 RD\n\nFrom Address byDR.BENJAMIN SPOCK1972 Presidential Candidate,Peace &Freedom Party  \n“FOR eight years the French fought ina bloody colonial war in Vietnam.The U.S.paid 80 percent of the military bills of theFrench.Eisenhower tried to explain thisin 1953.He said it is not so much thatwe like the French—the tin,tungsten andother materials in that part of the worldis what we want to control.Also,our De-fense Department wanted a good,strongbase in South Vietnam in case we went towar with Communist China.  \nThen we came to the Gulf of Tonkinincident.Lyndon Johnson told the Con-gress that there was an unprovoked attackon the naval forces of the U.S.,by thenaval forces of North Vietnam.He askedfor authorization to repel such aggression;which he got.  \nTonkin Gulf Hoax  \nWhen the Pentagon Papers came outlast year they showed that the whole thingwas planned months ahead of time.TheSecurity Council discussed the likelihoodof bombing North Vietnam.What theyneeded was an excuse to sell this to Con-gress.The Tonkin Gulf episode was ex-actly that.President Johnson perpetrateda fraud on the American Congress and theAmerican people.  \nThis is not a slightly dirty war—or aslightly immoral war.It is one of the dir-tiest wars that has ever been fought—car-  \nried out by a policy of brazen lying to the  \nAmerican people.The Administration isstill involved in that war—and it is in itsmost dangerous stage right now.  \nWe have withdrawn ground forces—butour commitment is as great as ever.  \nFor over a hundred years the U.S.gov-ernment has been taking advantage ofother countries,when it thought it couldget away with it We provoked the warwith Mexico—and took 40 percent of theirlands.  \nITT &The State Department  \nIn the 20th century we intervened inMexico three times,at the behest of ouroil interests—three times in Nicaragua—twice in the Dominican Republic.Presi-dent Eisenhower sent the CIA into Guata-mala with arms to assist in the overthrowof the popularly elected government therebecauseit was going to break up the hugeland holding.The only problem was theUnited Fruit Company was the largestlandholder.  \nYou don't have to take my word for it.The Eisenhower Administration quietlyboasted about the effectiveness of U.S.foreign policy.  \nVery recently ITT went to the State De-partment to see if they could do anythingabout Allende running for President inChile.He was elected and ITT came backfor another conference to see if therewasn't something our government coulddo to topple Allende from the Presidency.  \nSince World War II the U.S.has main-tained over 2,000 military bases on foreignsoil.At one time they may have been forthe defense of us and our allies.But I  \n(Conrinued on page 146)  \n\n| OFFICERS OF TH
