THERE IS MUCH TALK OF PEACE - BUT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING? The Paris talks on the Vietnam war drag on month after month, while tens of thousa~ds of men,

women, and children continue to die in Vietnam. President Nixon talks about troop withdrawals, but, after the completion of the announced withdrawal of 25,000 U.S. troops, the total number of G.l.'s in Vietnam was still 3,500 more than when President Johnson left office.

ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THE WAR IN VIETNAM? The majority of Americans are. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 58% of the American people think

that we should never have sent troops to fight in Vietnam. In spite of this, our men are still dying in Vietnam, and tens of billions of dollars are squandered each

year on this useless slaughter. Meanwhile, the S()cial fabric of this society disintegrates as tens of millions of deprived Americans lose hope and the gap between rich and poor widens.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? With your help we can build the momentum of the Vietnam Moratorium of October 15, which called

for the WITHDRAWAL OF ALL TROOPS FROM VIETNAM NOW. Support the efforts of the New Mobilization and plan to participate in one of the following demonstra­

tions.

NOVEMBER CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR THE NEW MOBILIZATION San Francisco

Efforts are now under way to recruit in the State of Washington as many people as possible to partici­pate in the San Francisco mass demonstration.

Washington D.C. Plans are now being made to send as large a delegation as possible from Washington State to Wash­

ington D.C. to participate in the following act ivities: March Against Death, A Vietnam Memorial: November 13, 14, and 15, 1969. Beginning at midnight on November 13 the first of fifty state delegations, totaling 43,000-45,000 persons,

representing the G.l.'s killed in Vietnam, will begin walking from Arlington National Cemetery in a solemn single-file procession past the White House to the steps of the Capitol. Each marcher will carry the name of a war victim and place that name in a coffin at the Capitol. After the march ends Saturday morning, November 15, the coffins bearing the names will be taken to the White House.
