Yesterday President Nixon and his policy advisers were closeted together in Washington planning desperate new measures to beat back the victorious revolutionary armies.

William Rogers, Nixon's Foreign Secretary, rushed back to Washington overnight, breaking his tour of HANNIGAN using insulting behaviour, obstructing the highway and the police at Carlton Hill, West London. He will appear at Marylebone magistrates' court today. meeting Earlier in Paddington Green, barner, after a lunchtime the youth marched to Paddington and Maida Vale high school and then on to St George's Catholic school, Maida Vale.

Rather than acknowledge defeat, the American leader is preparing to unleash even more deadly and destructive attacks against the people of Vietnam.

Last week, Nixon flew to Texas to tell businessmen that like Lyndon Johnson, his predecessor, he would not 'yield respect for the office of the presidency' by allowing a 'communist takeover' in Vietnam.

He said: 'I am not going that #III A MOST enthusiastic audience at the May Day rally last Sunday collected the grand amount of {247.90 towards our May Appeal Fund. It really was a tremendous collection. Thank you all very much indeed.

The huge turn-out and the meeting, filled to overtiowing, shows that our firm, principled stand against the Tory government is winning greater and greater support throughout the £247.90 - A GREAT COLLECTION AT OUR MAY DAY RALLY happen. We are prepared to use our military and naval strength against military targets throughout North Vietnam and we believe that the North Vietnamese are taking a very great risk if they continue their offensive in the South.

I will just leave it there and they can make their own choice,' he said. Since Nixon made this ominous threat, the South Vietnamese armies have suffered further defeats and the Thieu regime is on the edge of collapse.

Now, as the liberation forces close in around Saigon's demoralized and battered battalions in Hue and Kontum, Nixon is about to translate his bluster into the language of bombs and shells.

Nixon. and his advisers will muster every ounce of malign, ingenuity and viciousness to try and rob the Vietnamese of victory in the South. They are desperate men, driven by the insoluble crisis of their profit system to extremes of counter-revolutionary violence.

Already Nixon has raised American air power to its highest ever level, sending giant B52 bombers to attack Haiphong and Hanoi. There were reports from Washington yesterday that Hanoi had again been bombed.

Nixon also has a force of 5,000 Marines standing by on his armada in the Gulf of Tonkin. There was speculation in Washington yesterday that these troops might be landed on the coast of North Vietnam to wreck harbours, depots and anti-aircraft installations.

Other desperate moves under consideration by the National Security Council included breaching the dikes of the irrigation system in the Red River Delta, flooding huge tracts of North Vietnam and drowning thousands of men, women and children.

It seems clear that Nixon is even prepared to sacrifice his projected visit to Moscow later this month in order to hit back at the Vietnamese workers and peasants.

The world labour movement must be on its guard against these genocidal plans. The victory of the Vietnamese revolution is the direct concern of every worker struggling against capitalism in Britain and throughout the world.

But don't sit back— this month we are alming to raise an extra £500 over our £1,250 target. Keep up this magnificent effort.
