What lies behind this attack is the Soviet bureaucracy's desire to compel the Vietnamese people to make peace with Nixon.

The Kremlin's intentions are made all the more clear by their continued recognition of the ultra-rightist, pro-US regime in Phnom Penh.

N Vietnam along with V Korea and China, withdrew and now recognizes the exile U.S. its Ambassador a pasnth t Sinhanouk government as the legitimate Cambodian ruler On Sunday, the N Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Van Dong announced — no doubt to the consternation of Kosygin and Brezhnev— that the military and political situation was more desperate than ever for the US imperialists and their puppets.

'Rotten'

The Saigon regime, which in recent weeks has been attacked by massive student demonstrations in the streets of the capital itself, was described Dong rotten, powerless and utterly unpopular'.

Van Dong's militant speech is an obvious rebuff to the Soviet advocates of peaceful co-existence with US imperialism.

He concluded by saying that the N Vietnamese were standing 'shoulder to shoulder' with Laotian and Cambodian people-something that certainly its diplomats in phnom Penh.

Faced with the growing threat of an all-out IndoChinese war, involving not only S Vietnam and Cambodia, but Laos and Thailand, they are compelled to adopt a more militant line and work more closely with the Chinese government.

Yet as the war daily grows in scope and intensity, MoscoW Radio merely calls on the Nixon Administration to display 'a sensible approach to realities'.

The Soviet bureaucracy has been applying behind-the-scenes pressure on Hanoi for at least five years to make a deal with the US imperialists and their servants in Saigon.

The escalation of the war into Cambodia now finds the Kremlin advocating these same policies of capitulation quite openly. danger revolution.

This was revealed on Sunday by the US Congress. Thailand's new commitment to the pro-US regime in Cambodia is obviously a continuation of this same policy.

files opposed NEWCASTLE Trades Council has passed a motion opposing employers keeping secret files and calling on affiliated branches to oppose any attempts by the employers to collect such information.

The motion says the Council 'notes with concern the ever-increasing amounts of personal information demanded by prospective employers, government agencies, etc. from the public and the intrusion that this represents into the privacy of our members and their families.

'We consider that by the very nature of the information demanded there is an implied threat of discrimination against and infringement of the rights and liberties of the individual. (The use of conidential files to operate a "blacklist" against shop 'Go slow' on -says miners' M.P.

DICK KELLEY, MP in the last government for Don Valley (South Yorkshire), blamed the working class for Britain's economic difficulties and called for a goslow on nationalization at Asked by a miner why the Labour government had not attacked the wealthy more, Kelley replied:

'When you get dockers asking for £60 a week, there are ather people besides sur-tax payers to worry about.

This one-time left' continued:

'Many people feel the Ford workers were not being reasonable when they demanded a £5 increase' 'Exploit' When other miners called for an end to interest payments and for the nationalization of mining machinery manufacture and coal distribution, Kelley replied :

'We live in a free country. You have got to give people the freedom to exploit what they have. We could nationalize tomorrow if you wanted a totalitarian society' Kelley's remarks are a sharp lesson for the S Yorkshire miners and for all workers.

He became Labour MP for Don Valley in 1964, after years as secretary of the Hatfield Main branch of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), and was presented to the miners as a left-winger.

He was featured on several occasions in the columns of the Communist Party's 'Morning Star' (then the Daily Worker') as a 'left' Labour MP.

He made a number of trips in the same period to E Germany.

YOU WOULD have to go a long way to hear a more specious mixture of parliamentary cretinism and leftwing demagogy than was served up by John Gollan to the Communist Party's election rally of 300 at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall.

On foreign policy Gollan, relying on the good nature of the imperialist governments, said that Wilson should dissociate from the US on Vietnam and that the US should withdraw her troops.

No mention was made of the necessity of action by the British working class.
