Radio must represent a program about Southeast Asia how much do you know about the war in Vietnam and do you really know why hundreds of American boys will never come home from the swamps and jungles there why must thousands of Americans risk their lives on the other side of the globe away from home United Nations Secretary-General or son had something to say about that he was sure he said that if the great American nation knew the true facts about South Vietnam it would agree that there was no need to continue the bloodshed truth was the first victim in any war why was truth America's first victim in the Vietnam War though the paper isn't periodicals print enough America's radio and television are not far behind the big press with war stories the reason is that the flood of news and government explanations about the war are far from objective in the United States most of the stories official lectures and speeches do not give Frank truthful answers to the questions American mothers ask when they see their sons off to Vietnam or when men are called up for the Army the man in the streets of America doesn't get his answer why is the American government afraid to tell the nation the truth honestly and openly is because Washington's intentions are not honest or open the truth about the Vietnam War is that the United States is meddling grossly in the domestic affairs of the Vietnamese this does not begin today or yesterday the beginnings were in those days long ago when the people of in those China rose up against the French expeditionary corps back then the United States acted jointly with friends in an effort to prevent Vietnam from becoming free. The propagandists from the State Department tell another story they tell the American people that the crisis in South Vietnam was the result of infiltration from the north they say that now but before during the French colonial war the north and south were not divided no one ever mentioned any kind of infiltration then yet the United States and France interfered in the affairs of Vietnam with armed force the United States sent in weapons military advisors and money already then the United States tried by force to suppress the liberation movement of the Vietnamese when it failed over all the Viet Nam it concentrated on the south and decided to get rid of the French colonialists their way American leaders were to blame for the establishment of a despotic regime of him goading him in South Vietnam and for preventing the general elections scheduled under the Geneva agreements we have no where the remarks by American diplomats on that score they admit that if the United States had allowed free elections the South Vietnamese would have voted for the leader of the Vietnam revolution Hoshi men and that's the crux of the matter the leaders of the United States refuse them and refuse now to let the Vietnamese choose their own future they want the destinies of nations to be decided in Washington they mean that any cost to keep a regime of their own liking in Saigon one that would up hold certain views allow American bases on Vietnam soil and give American capital a free hand Washington wants the regime in Saigon to be a servant when the South Vietnamese rose up against that anti popular pro-American regime in Saigon the United States sent its troops fleet and their force the generals in the Pentagon are sending young Americans to die in Vietnam in an unjust cause in order to keep another nation in their power. In Washington they say that if the United States were to get out of South Vietnam it would lose all of Indochina after that it would lose countries closer to home but that's exactly how the fascist Mussolini figured when he sent troops against the organs he said he did not want Italy to lose Ethiopia such a logic is just as wrong now as it was then countries belong to the people inhabiting them not to the United States it is in the interest of the American people to maintain relations with others based on mutual respect understanding and friendship but you cannot build up such relations by saddling puppet regimes on others and interfering in their affairs with our might if the United States is to achieve good relations with other countries it must give up its colonialist practice of meddling in Alien domestic affairs it must let others take care of their own business America is losing the friendship of other nations by being friends with dictators and property rulers there is another problem worrying the United States who would win in South Vietnam if the United States got out would be the communists not at all it is the south vietnam of the ration front that represents the nation the front is composed of over twenty political parties and organizations of the most very drams it includes trade unionists church leaders businessmen peasants students and scientists. The program of the Liberation Front suits them all it insists that there be no alien meddling in South Vietnam's affairs it promises land to the peasants a democratic government peaceful unification and stronger independence there is nothing in the program of the Liberation Front detrimental to the American people still the United States continues the war against the pick with of South Vietnam and against their liberation army it's no ordinary war the United States uses weapons and methods forbidden by international law American troops are using gas prohibited by international agreements the Americans are wiping out peaceful villages using the Palm on them and murdering the old men women and children like the Nazis did during the Second World War You can even read in the American papers how the Pentagon is bombing merciless destruction and scorched earth tactics are being applied in South Vietnam Washington is not drawing the right conclusions from these facts if the United States uses savage methods of warfare destroying whole villages together with their population it is only because every other violence has failed the Americans have been unable to subjugate the South Vietnamese with arms now they are trying out a war of extermination the United States is using the most inhuman methods Ehrman bomb anything inside attacking dams and rice crops in order to starve the Vietnamese into submission in North Vietnam American bombers straight hospitals and schools they fire on peasants in the field and on travellers on roads. A certain Mr Mayor some a California longshoreman who recently visited Democratic Vietnam reported how American planes attacked a funeral procession for victims of their previous attack the leaders of the American government assure you that the Pentagon is doing everything for peace in an effort to make the other side negotiate the best answer to that would be what an American news writer said if people died of hypocrisy Washington would be a dead town if the United States really wants a peaceful settlement and negotiations it will have to show it many members have said this repeatedly in the United Nations Kenya's foreign minister more on the said in the General Assembly that his government appeals to the United States to come Creek Lee demonstrated to declare a desire for peace by immediately stopping the massive attacks on North Vietnam and on the South Vietnam Liberation Front How can you talk about peace the Kenyan minister asked while conducting aggressive military actions how can you create an atmosphere conducive to peaceful negotiation when the United States launches deliberate stubborn attempts to physically annihilate the so called opponent peaceful adjustment in that now runs into Washington's refusal to stop its aggression and nothing else the United States snubs the Geneva agreements on Indochina which prohibit foreign troops in Vietnam the United States not to the United Nations Charter which renounces interference in the domestic affairs of other countries. That's what lies at the roots of the problem America's aggression is imperialism in action it rouses the indignation and protest of the whole world official American propaganda is trying to build up another opinion it is sure is that in spite of America's behavior in get numb the United States can improve relations with the Soviet Union and other countries America claims that it can achieve disarmament and relax tension so that is another example of how the United States government distorts the facts about the Vietnam War and its consequences the truth is that America's aggression in Southeast Asia has worsened so we have American relations the Soviet Union decidedly supports socialist North Vietnam and helps it repel America's aggression the Soviet people are completely for ever just fight for freedom waged by the South Vietnamese if the United States continues to escalate the war it can further complicate Soviet American relations it can threaten the advances in cultural and scientific exchanges achieved between us during the last few years it can make agreement on the important world problems still more difficult the truth is that America's continuing aggression in Vietnam spells grave danger the conflict can pour over its present downs and can involve other countries it will be difficult to stop the chain reaction of a war conflagration that program about the situation in Southeast Asia has come to you from Radio Moscow.
