HANOI CRITICAL OF MOSCOW AND leaders are piling pressure new-found allies in Moscow and PEKING

North Vietnamese press has published several sharp denunciations of Soviet and Chinese policies, Vietnamese that the North are resisting their demands.

At the same time, however, he American military is steppins up its air attacks on North Vietnam in another attempt to force acceptance of Nixon's terms.

The Hanoi newspaper 'Nhan Dan', in an editorial on Tuesday celebrating the anniversary the August 1945 uprising which began the Vietnamese revolution, attacked 'disastrous opportunist tendencies of all shades from outside'.

These tendencies, it said, were responsible for 'all sorts of nonetoo-agreeable actions' against the Vietnamese struggle. The paper contrasted them with the revolutionary offensive spirit of our people and their well-tested vanguard brigade'.

The 'Nhan Dan' editorial is unmistakably directed at the Soviet and Chinese leaders.

Only last week the paper carried a lengthy article warning that it will not be led into their path of 'compromise with perfidious imperialists'.

The article said the central point of Nixon's strategy was to achieve an equilibrium among the big powers as a 'shield give the US imperialists complete freedom of action in checking means violence the national liberation movement'.

It added: 'If out of the narrow interests of one's nation one tries help most reactionary forces avert the most dangerous blows, just like throwing a lifebelt to dangerous pirate, that is a cruel reconciliation beneficial to the enemy and not beneficial to the revolution.' This not only harms the Vietnamese revolution but endangers the revolutionary conquests the very countries which carry it out, 'Nhan Dan' said.

It added: "The evolution of each country is an integral part of the world revolution and the revolutions of all countries have the effect of impelling and assisting one another. The victory revolution in a country is not the end but only the beginning of the long travel towards the triumph of socialism on a world scale.' The Stalinist bureaucrats. however, have gone behind the backs of the Vietnamese fighters to discuss with Nixon the ending of the war.

William Rogers, President Nixon's Secretary of State, argued only last week that the USSR and China are both in favour of a deal and added pointedly that 'they supply North Vietnam'. Beach.

Hanoi has repeatedly said it will have nothing to do with Nixon's latest -so-called 'peace proposals'. These, in the words of Hanoi Radio, boil down to this:

'The United States will agree to withdraw its troops if the Vietnamese people agree to lay down their arms and accept the rule of the Nguyen Van Thieu puppet administration in South Vietnam... This is the real nature of his plot to separate the military and political problems in the solution to the Vietnam issue.

'In short, Nixon's so-called generous stand is essentially an extremely stubborn colonialist and aggressive stand concealed under a glossy veneer.' It now emerges also that the Soviet government was informed almost three years ago about Nixon's plans to mine North Vietnam's ports and escalate the Daniel Ellsberg, the former State Department employee now facing trial for publishing the Pentagon Papers, revealed at a news conference on Tuesday that the Russians were told of Nixon's secret plan on May 14, 1969.

On that date, he said, Henry Kissinger called Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin to tell him that the US would escalate the war if necessary. From that time, Ellsberg said, the Russians knew that the renewed bombing and the mining of harbours were a possibility.

Yet with almost three years' warning of Nixon's plans, the USSR made no attempt either to run the blockade or to challenge the US action.

They had every reason not to do so. The blockade immeasurably strengthened their grip on the life-line of the Vietnamese revolution and their ability to force acceptance of a dirty compromise with Nixon.

The British Communist Party, which claims to support the struggle of the Vietnamese, has no comment to make on the secret diplomatic treachery denounced by Hanoi.

Its leaders are prepared to stand and watch while the revolution in Indo-China is slowly throttled with the aid of the Soviet and Chinese How could it be otherwise? As 'Nhan Dan' correctly says, 'the revolutions of all countries have the effect of impelling and assisting one another' Conversely the counter-revolutionary policies of the British Stalinists, who refuse to fight for the resignation of the Tory government, are a stab in the back not only for the British working class but for the Vietnamese fighters as well. THIS SITE IS WORKING BECAUSE:-OUR CLAIM A DANGEROUS development in the building workers' strike is revealed in this photograph. It shows a site Southampton, Richard Miller Ltd, where a separate site agreement has been signed and the men are back at work.

The site happens to be opposite the local headquarters the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians The UCATT leadership is pressing for separate site deals and allowing men on those sites to return to work.

This can only weaken the overall strength of the strike and leave sections of the building workers, particularly those employed by the big construction companies, dangerously isolated.

In London yesterday, UCATT attacked the building employers' organization for instructing firms not to sign individual pay deals.

It claimed 50 firms had already signed agreements, despite pressure from the National Federation of Building Trade Employers. Men were now back at work on these sites 'but we are not saying which firms they are for obvious reasons'.

In Scotland, union officials announced a new stage in their campaign to split the fight for the national pay claim by signing company agreements. HAS BEEN MET.

UCATT Scottish secretary Don Macgregor announced that 36 firms in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen had now signed a 'model agreement' for a £25 basic rate for craftsmen.

Workers with these firms would be sent back and special emblems used to ensure they would no longer be picketed.

In North-East England, the unions claimed yesterday, 15,000 building workers were on strike and 180 sites idle. They also said that 12 firms had agreed to pay the £30 a week minimum, allowing 2,000 men on 30 sites to return to work.

Among them was the biggest house-building firm, Greensit and Barratt, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which agreed on Tuesday to pay up.
