Nixon peace proposals written out
of desperation to end losing war
President Nixon proposed that
which he felt was a Justifiable
proposal for a stand-still ceasefire ln Vlet-Nam, Laos and Cambodia, the Immediate release of
all prisoners by both forces and
a more communicable peace conference ln Paris. He addressed
the American people on nationally televised newscast on the
conditions and stipulations of the
proposals.
In   h
attempts to convince the American people of a so-called "Generation of Peace," which ls Just
as disappointing as ex-president
Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society." Theproposals actually were
written out of desperation to end
a losing war. to save a shattered
economy and to reestablish a
falling Imperialism throughout

A   cease-fire  for the United
States would be strategically valine  supplying of defeated

Laotian troops. Plus, It would
give the American military command the time needed to uplift
their demoralized troops and to
reorganize their losing forces.
This Is why President Nixon so
positively stated that "all forces
would remain In the position they
now hold!" This would enable the
pro-American forces In Cambodia and Laos to resume fighting

•the essential elements of the
Geneva Accords of 1954 and 1982
remain valid as a basis for settlement of problems between
states In the IndoChlnaarea.*
Nixon is insane to charge the
Vietnamese freedom fighters
with aggression In IndoChlna because the Geneva Accords which
he used as guidelines for peace
were  signed In 1954 by all na-
and ratification Including Norti
Vietnam except the United States
who only verbally agreed to them.
The final declaration of the
Geneva Accords clearly indicate
who the real aggressor ls. Here
are a few clauses from those
agreements. The Accords "Prohibits the Introduction Into Vietnam of foreign troops and military personnel as well as of all
kinds of arms and munitions."

(Editor's Note: The following ls an editorial which appeared in
The Liberator, an abolitionist newspaper of the pre-Clvil War era.

The Genocide of Democracy
Democracy ls a vicUm of genocide. Democracy by deflnlUonls
a government In which the people
hold the power to determine their
own destiny. The common people
under thla fori
practice social equality.
Yet the United States, the leader of the 'free*, democratic
world, ls chief butcher of thla
theory, the thing we call democracy. Dally the American people call for the government,which
It ls supposed to rule, to end the
war ln Vietnam. Yet, the war
does not end. Does this sound
like a government of, for and by
the people? Black people are discriminated against In every facet
of society. They are murdered
ln the streets of America dally.
Is this social equality? And we
must not forget that simply because a person does not live Inside the U.S., he does not meet
the criteria of being given the
right to determine his owndesU-
ny and the human right to social
equality that every member of
the  'free* world ls supposedly
enUUed to. To whom am I referring? The peace loving people of North and South Vietnam.
They too are being murdered in
their own communlUes dairy as
we are by U.S. government enforcers. Tbey too are vlcUms
of genocide. This Is the genocide
America haa been waging a war
of genocide on democracy ever
since and even before its own
Inception. Slaves were beaten,
tortured and bred like cattle before the Revolutionary War In
1776.    For those who escaped
the penalty. And we must not
forget tbe Indiana who under
the guise of Manifest Destiny
were butchered, slaughtered and
stripped of their land.
So you see, It ls crystal clear
that the history of the U.S. ls
based on genocide. Genocide of
black white, brown, red and yellow people. This ls the genocide
of democracy.

24. Why   must  the Union be dissolved, should Congress abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia?
Because the slaves ln that District are hla.'k.
25. Why are abolitionists justly treated as outlaws In one half of
the Union?
Because those whose cause they espous<> a.-; black.
2C. Wtiy ts slavery  'the corner-stone of our republican edifice?'
Because Its victims are black.
On Oct. 20 the special
for Senator of Education will be
held. Of the four people running,
one candidate stands above the
others.
Vlnce Lavery,
body president candidate, ls the
most qualified candidate for. this
office. In my opinion. Vlnce has
shown leadership qualities ln the
past student senate meetings and
ln campus activities.
I believe that Vlnce Lavery
would truly attempt to represent
the School of Education and the
student body at large. This
campus needs more men Uke
Vlnce Layery who are able to
articulate the needs of students.
