Jones: <\/b>\u2013tion, attention, attention. Sorry to inform the committee that\u2019s um, practically put up the practice (unintelligible) off nights, and it\u2019s beautiful that you\u2019re ready for the news tonight, but you\u2019ll save this lesson for tomorrow night, you can add whatever other thing from the news release too. But this is a free<\/i> night. There will be movies under the pavilion and nothing else, there\u2019ll be no language and no news, it\u2019ll be people\u2019s free night to do what they wish, other than getting out of the beaten<\/i> path. \u2018Cause at ten o\u2019clock, the curfew, unless you are in the theater watching the news or in the library studying. After that you must be in your own cottage. Due to the fact that Venezuelans crossed the border every night, according to the Soviet ambassador and the PNC leaders, our own party\u2019s, Peoples National Congress leadership.<\/p>\n

I would like to say again \u2013 I want no talking \u2013 that to those that are worrying about going to Soviet Union and opportunities, you are completely ignorant. Not only are there opportunities when you get<\/i> there, to go to any degree of college you want to free, there will be scholarships<\/i> next year that will come through for young people here on the project. \u2018Cause this year\u2019s been used up. Just as there will be cultural<\/i> scholarships for entertainment like we have hopefully<\/i> this year, but definitely<\/i> next year. Because they don\u2019t use them and they\u2019re going to direct them directly to us next time. And when you get to the Soviet Union \u2013 if you were to go there \u2013 you will have completely<\/i> more freedom. because we won\u2019t have to worry about little people who wanna run away. The authorities will take care of them.<\/p>\n

And I wanna make it very clear, we\u2019re not going to worry anymore about it here<\/i>. The next person who run\u2013 runs away, we\u2019re gonna get the police and commandeer Brigadier General [Clarence] Price, who\u2019s the head of the Guyana Defense Force? \u2013 would you please have a seat and stop until I get through with this \u2013 Brigadier General Price is the commander of the Air Force, the Army, all military units of this Guya\u2013 Guyana Socialist\u2013 Socialist Republic, and the moment<\/i> anybody leaves, we\u2019re gonna turn it right over to him, we\u2019re not gonna break production, we\u2019re gonna turn it right over to him, and we turn\u2013 GNS Norman, another great friend of ours, the general in charge of that, Guyana National Service and the head of the police is Mingo [Vibert Mingo], Dr. Mingo, who\u2019s our very<\/i> dear friend, Minister of Home Affairs, that\u2019s the minister, one of (unintelligible) of all local police. So they will take care of the matter. We will not<\/i> bother to put 30 people off our work force and run after you. We\u2019re not gonna do it. You can take your chances with the tigers, you can take your chances with the snakes and the bugs. I can tell you one thing, they have some (unintelligible) down here, the one that went off.<\/p>\n

And I don\u2019t know why people would want to leave the uh, body of socialism, when you\u2019ve seen the miracle today of Carrie Langston falling on her head. The people heard her two cottages down, and she come out without any harm, she should have had her neck broken and she should have at least<\/i> had her skull cracked and blood go into her brain and been a vegetable for life. You\u2019ve seen the young man [Ricky Johnson] with gasoline pull through. Saw the young man couldn\u2019t urinate for 25 hours, and I walked in, and he urinated like some giant uh, rock would come out through his penis, it\u2019d make such a joke as it went in. You saw last night the beautiful one young girl that had septicemia and in\u2013 incurable bacterial diseases of blood \u2013 Teri Smart \u2013 now she\u2019s beautifully healed today. You saw James Baisy who had a terrible kidney infection and was raging out of control, we had no way to get him to emergency service, you know when I went by him, his temperature went down.<\/p>\n

But if \u2013 when we go to Soviet Union \u2013 you do not wish to go, we can leave a contingency here, and when you get to the Soviet Union, you don\u2019t wanna stay, they certainly won\u2019t make you stay. All you have to do just ask to leave, and you can go back to fascist USA with its concentration camps<\/a> and everything else. I hear some, because of race uh\u2013 there not enough black people there, well, there happen to be thousands<\/i> of black people there, they just don\u2019t live in any one specific neighborhood. And the reason there\u2019re not millions<\/i> is because they did not engage in slavery. Do you understand what I mean? So there can\u2019t be millions, because only reason there are millions of uh, blacks in America\u2013 North America is because USA involved themselves in slavery<\/i>. The Soviets, the Russians never took in black slaves. So that\u2019s uh, in their favor<\/i>, not against them. There\u2019s a hundred and fifty different racial and national ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. A hundred and fifty. That\u2019s about as many differences of race and nationalities as you can find in the world. And they want us for the primary reason, that we are black, integrated, Indian, white, integrated, and they want black and Indian communists. And it\u2019s a definite<\/i> thing, it\u2019s a door we should keep open, that\u2019s why the band that must work hard, the basketball team also, we\u2019re giving them the alternative of both<\/i>, or maybe they want two\u2013one or the other or both.<\/i> Who knows? We\u2019ll have more freedom, as I\u2019ve said, than you have here. We won\u2019t have to have the worries, and uh, they even offered, as you know, to build all the buildings for us before we arrive. So it\u2019s been a very gracious situation, and racism<\/i> is the second highest law that is forbidden for all<\/i> the people, the second<\/i> most important law, offense, offensive law is to have race prejudice and to demonstrate it. If you do, they will immediately bring you to a criminal<\/i> court \u2013 not a civil court \u2013 if you use a racist slur towards anybody else of a different color. So some of you are unduly worried, and as far as opportunity (unintelligible) get it, naturally gonna take months<\/i>, they\u2019re gonna profile us, not about whether you\u2019ve got a record or a jail record or how bad you were when you were young, but they\u2019ll all want to see there\u2019s no CIA people here. That\u2019s natural, and they\u2019re gonna check that out. It takes some months to get this done. And in the meantime, we\u2019ve got to work this place to its fullest<\/i>, because when the Presidium comes, the top leadership of the Soviet, delegation comes to see us here, they must see a very productive place, a beautiful landscape, and a lot of smiling faces with a heavy amount of news. And speaking Russian as well as we can. But some of you are frightened that you\u2019ll never learn the language. They will allow us to have a commune of our own<\/i> there. So it would not be so important to you that you speak<\/i> Russian. But we just want to do it as much as possible. The students certainly who want to go on to other experiences or schooling or off to Africa to help with liberation. (unintelligible phrase). There\u2019s a million<\/i> opportunities. But some of you who are fearful of language, don\u2019t<\/i> worry, you\u2019ll learn enough to get by and, in our own<\/i> commune, they\u2019ll allow us to speak English, and Russians \u2013Soviets, by the way, don\u2019t ever call them Russian \u2013 the Soviet Union, the United Soviet Socialist Republics, (Pause) their second language is English. Everybody<\/i> practically knows English. They teach English from nursery school on up. That\u2019s how important they consider English is, because their principal enemy is America, who is trying to (unintelligible word) socialism all over the world and so they want to be able to speak the language, to know the nuances, and to understand the communications closely in the nuclear age. But after you get there, you do not like it, you have the privilege to go back to United States, in Babylon, and die in a concentration camp or be blown up in a nuclear war, where there\u2019ll be no underground shelters and cities like there is in the Soviet Union and China. That\u2019s your privilege.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about the sum and substance of what I had covered previously. But unfortunately<\/i>, due to the fact that these people tape me and don\u2019t tell me when a generator change comes, you cannot hear<\/i> what I\u2019m saying. Jann Gurvich is gonna type up any other high points that I have not gotten on this tape, and this tape is to be played several times tomorrow, so that you\u2019ll understand what I\u2019m trying to communicate. But, in the future<\/i> when a generator change comes, will you please<\/i> get on the li\u2013 uh, on the microphone here, come in here, on my line and tell me so that uh, I won\u2019t continue. because this\u2013 it sounds like somebody that\u2019s drunk<\/i> or it sounds like somebody that\u2019s crazy on that PA system, when you tape me on one generator and then let me speak on another. It\u2019s uh, it\u2019s inaudible<\/i>, it\u2019s impossible to understand.<\/p>\n

I think I have covered\u2013 covered the entirety of it. Just be sure you don\u2019t call the Soviet Union\u2019s alliance the Warsaw Pact. Get that out of your language also. It\u2019s the Warsaw Treaty. Pact is something kept for wolves. Like they consider North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it\u2019s a pact of wolves now trying to make an alliance with South America. Chilean, Chile, fascist Chile, (unintelligible word) Namibia. The Soviet Union\u2019s not gonna stand by idly. Some of you wanna fight, you get the chance to fight. Then you wanna be on\u2013 on the soil of Africa to help the liberation, you\u2019ll get the chance to do so.<\/p>\n

Toss that stuff out over there, in that library\u2013 between that library and the second school pavilion! My God, we do not have this. So opportunities are unlimited, opportunities are galore. And when you speak of the Soviet Union and her allies, remember it\u2019s the Warsaw Treaty<\/i>, not Pact. The Soviets are not a pack of wolves, like uh, animals like USA that uh, try to kill and eat and destroy all of the life of every nation. It\u2019s only capitalism<\/i> that has pacts. And Russia\u2013 there\u2019s only one state and it\u2019s what caused much of prejudice in the past, because the Soviet Union resents having people speak of Russia. That\u2019s only one ethnic group in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union are the United Socialist Soviet Republics.<\/p>\n

There is no news now and (unintelligible word) news reviews. That\u2019s some beautiful films underneath there. You can see them. Some of them\u2019ll be tested on later, so you can get them out of the way if you want. Uh, there\u2019s a comedy, parody on race, and a very good film on concentration camps. There\u2019s no news and no language tonight. When you get a free night, I will tell you just on the verge of it. Because we have some people who\u2019ll do anything in their power to manipulate when they think time\u2019s in their hands to get attention. Your day off may be a full day, but it won\u2019t al\u2013 won\u2019t always fall on Sunday, do you follow what I\u2019m saying? You may not know it until the night before. So plan your day to have everything ready for our day off earlier than Sunday or the day after. You cannot\u2013 You can\u2019t tell. You just don\u2019t know, but I can guarantee you, it won\u2019t always be Sunday. Thank you and much love. (Pause) (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Part 2:<\/b><\/p>\n

(comes in mid-word) \u2013ation on this border. That\u2019s why you are a fool<\/i> to try to go out there. It\u2019s a wonder one of you hasn\u2019t been mistaken for an Amerindian and kidnapped<\/i>. We have ab\u2013 absolute protection inside Jonestown. We have never had a snake bite. We have never had any serious\u2013 nothing<\/i> that hasn\u2019t been corrected. Do you realize what a miracle it is that a people in a foreign country, foreign to big machinery, foreign to cutting\u2013 felling trees and we have not had one injury that has not been recovered or healed through Jim Jones? You ever stop to think about that? People who never, never knew the farm life, and no accident that has not been healed by Jim Jones, when we\u2019ve had people explode, blown to smithereens, their bodies layin\u2019 in shambles. Truck run over one, now completely restored, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve (unintelligible word) the fact of gratitude for that dimension of socialism that you should. There should be a good deal of gratitude for that dimension of socialism. Now get where you\u2019re belonging, and cut down the noise. You want to be (unintelligible phrase)\u2013<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part 3:<\/b><\/p>\n

News. Remember this evening\u2019s people\u2019s rally, 7:30, maybe 7:45, promptly in our seats, prepared for testing which is a certainty. Be sure to study the news. Do your best to the work effort. Otherwise we have the blood of many who are seeking liberation. There\u2019s a number of broadcasts that I have picked up about various racial flare-ups throughout the United States, even in Canada and worse in England.<\/p>\n

Please let us work, and I\u2019m waiting on that progress report to see if you can<\/i> put as much work into eight hours as you did ten, so there\u2019d be more time. I will give evenings off, I want<\/i> to. But some who have been anarchistic have put a burden on the rest of us. I want to be able to give you days<\/i> off. But unfortunately I cannot announce what day they will be, because we do not want to put an unnecessary burden upon Guyana Defense Force. However we will<\/i> follow their suggestion, most<\/i> thoroughly. They said to stop by any<\/i> means necessary, anyone from leaving that are trying to violate rules, or to leave this commune in any other way than a legal way. And so it is illegal to run away and be in the jungle. It\u2019s a crime<\/i> to be running loose in the jungle. It\u2019s considered a menace to health, it brings the entire army if it\u2019s done deliberately, the army and navy and the air force of Guyana, the police will hold you responsible<\/i>. So we want no more of this kind of madness or attention-getting, because you\u2019ll be loser in the long run. Be also sure that you listen after this as closely as possible to the speech I gave last night about various questions as to our future, which is bright and beautiful. We have a marvelous<\/i> opportunity before us, and we have also a new place offered to us in Africa. It\u2019s perfectly fantastic. We\u2019re not naming it because we want no security leaks. So we have many options of freedom, and that\u2019s something that our brothers and sisters in the States do not have. They have no option, no bright tomorrow.<\/p>\n

In Moscow today Leonid\u2013 (tape edit) In Moscow today, Leonid Brezhnev and Alexei Kosygin met Algeria\u2019s president [Houari] Boumedienne who has arrived in the Soviet Union on a friendship working visit. The leaders of the two countries exchanged views on issues that brought them closer in mutual alla\u2013 alliance. Special attention was paid to the situation in the Middle East. Both parties firmly renounced the results of the Camp David sellout that [U.S. President Jimmy] Carter held just outside of Washington, a conclave with Egypt and Israeli Zionist, which in no<\/i> way represented the people that had been oppressed in their land dispossessed from them. In that meeting concluded by the leaders of Egypt and Israel and USA \u2013 Carter being the puppet for the Trilateral Commission \u2013 against the interest of the Arab countries. The leaders of the Soviet Union and Algeria expressed firm<\/i> belief that lasting peace in the Middle East can only be achie\u2013 chi\u2013 a\u2013 achieved exclusively on the basis of the unconditional<\/i> and complete withdrawal of Israeli fascist troops from all<\/i> the Arab territories occupied in 1967 on the basis of the execution of the (unintelligible word, sounds like \u201cmartial\u201d) of rights of the Arab peoples of Palestine in keeping with the United Nations decisions. The Soviet Union Presidium voted unanimously a firm<\/i> endorsement of this position, that any<\/i> other kind of resolution will not be tolerated. A note of warning from Radio Moscow more stronger than has been noted in weeks.<\/p>\n

Chairman of Bulgaria\u2019s State Council [President Todor Zhivkov] is going to Nigeria on a state visit. He has been invited by the head of the federal military government. Commentaries in the Bulgarian press underline that the first<\/i> visit to Nigeria by the Bulgarian head of state had an expression of a feeling of solidarity of the Bulgarian people with the struggle of the African nations for freedom and independence. As you know, Bulgaria is a member of the Wars\u2013 the\u2013 the Warsaw Alliance. Never say Warsaw Pact. Also we don\u2019t use Russia to describe the United Soviet Socialist Republics. Or don\u2019t use the word \u201cpragmatic,\u201d use the word \u201crealism,\u201d but those are words that are brainwashed examples\u2013 and don\u2019t use satellite, uh, such as that. Bulgaria is an ally<\/i> in the Warsaw Treaty, a communist nation. And it\u2019s interesting that Nigeria, that had been very<\/i> strong pro-American until Carter was caught dealing with the oil interest, banker rich interest, and trying to exploit the Nigerian people in the Hilton Hotel there. Ever since then there\u2019s been a steady move by Nigeria towards the Soviet alliance. The Bulgarian people, the paper points out, expect that the visit will make a great<\/i> contribution to the development of the cooperation between Bulgaria and Nigeria. A communist nation and Nigeria, still<\/i> a capitalist nation but who is deep and\u2013 uh, deep resentments and deep suspicions against USA and her imperialist lackeys. The cooperation based on friendship and mutual understanding will increase throughout the Soviet Union and her allies.<\/p>\n

The appointment of new ministers in the provisional military government of Ethiopia \u2013 socialist Ethiopia \u2013 has been announced. The Ethiopian resolution [revolution] has gained\u2013 gained a convincing victory over foreign and home reactionaries that have been backed by renegade Chinese foreign policy and US imperialism. And it continues<\/i> to advance towards building a new society of social justice and equality. The point was made by Chairman of the Provisional Military Administrative Council Mengistu [Haile Mariam] that the Ethiopian working people have now<\/i> launched a large-scale campaign to fully<\/i> organize a radical social and economic response in the country to develop the national economy devastated by war in complete<\/i> accord with the principles of Marxist\/Leninism in rebuilding a new society.<\/p>\n

One of Mo\u2013 One of Mozambique\u2019s leaders has spoken highly of the country\u2019s women in national development. In a meeting with representatives of the national women\u2019s organization, the government leader said that Mozambique women are in the forefront<\/i> \u2013 even though they are only three years young in the revolution of Marxist\/Leninism \u2013 that they\u2019re in the forefront of building up the new society. Today they hold responsible posts in every ministry, government office, and party organization. They head collective communities, cities, villages, schools, and factories, and side by side with men they defend the republic\u2019s borders against intrusion from the racist regimes that are upheld now only by the imperialist USA and her lackeys in Rhodesia and Union of South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Moscow-based Secretariat of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance \u2013 which includes six European socialist countries, Soviet Union, Cuba, Vietnam, and Angola also \u2013 announced that their per capita for the socialist country has gone up an\u2013 an average of nearly fourteen percent <\/i>since the beginning of the year. Employment is absolute and complete in all<\/i> socialist states. According to the official reports in the countries of Western Europe, there\u2019s been no<\/i> expansion since earlier\u2013 early this year, but we find a 14% increase in the socialist world. The highest rate of growth in the socialist countries is in machines, power, and electronics. In the Soviet Union, more groups of young volunteers have come to agricultural projects to take part in the economic development of the so-called non-black soil zone. The vast territory stretching from the Baltic Sea\u2013 tropical balmy regions to the Ural Mountains has a population of nearly 60 million. The government program provides for the building in the zone of major land reclamation systems, animal farms, processing plants, and settlements. This should sharply<\/i> increase farm output and incomes of the rural population. It\u2019s quite likely that this is the warm zone that will be a challenge to us, that\u2019s also been offered as well, as I mentioned, we have our great opportunity in a African nation which I shall not mention that this time.<\/p>\n

The American dollar weakened markedly\u2013\u00a0 The Ame\u2013 American dollar wicked\u2013 weakened markedly on the European Foreign Exchange again Mon\u2013 today the sixteenth. Seventeenth rather. Theorists said the market reflected the lack of confidence in the current administration\u2019s ability to take action to solve any of America\u2019s economic problems are in fact the total devastation that has beset capitalism and the Tri\u2013 Trilateral Commission that is trying to maintain the powerhold on the world\u2013 66% of the properties of the world and allowing two out of three of the babies of the world to go hungry. There is no ru\u2013 way that capitalists are finding to balance their payments, and so the dollar continues to fall.<\/p>\n

The cardinals of the Caro\u2013 Roman Catholic Church have elected the first non-Italian pontiff\u2013 pontiff in 400 years. Pope John Paul Two \u2013 the Second \u2013 is from Poland. This is a change indeed for the Roman Catholic Church. For 400 years, the Roman Catholic Church had been ruled exclusively by Italians. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Thailand. Several college and institutions that Thai students are demanding freedom from government control, according the Thai information center. Thammasat University\u2013 Thammasat University, 1500 students rallied to protest the college administration\u2019s ban on student self-government. Earlier in March, students at Bangkok\u2019s (unintelligible name) University distributed lea\u2013 leaflets condemning the university\u2019s unfair treatment in suppressing their right to elect their own leaders. The resurgence of student activism comes after the severe repression of the progressive student movement following the October 1976 military coup in uh\u2013 in Thailand, that occurred on the sixteenth of the month. A year later, when a right-wing civilian government replaced the military junta, the government made promises of limited student activities. The limitations however included a ga\u2013 included a prohibition<\/i> against student unions drafting their own r\u2013 own rules. Takes a great deal of courage for the students to demonstrate, because it can be a life sentence or public execution by firing squad. Nonetheless the Thailand students will have their rights be known.<\/p>\n

Dominican Republic. The new administration of the Dominican Republic recently released 13 of 200 political prisoners held by the former right wing government, the London-based Latin American political report LAPR noted yesterday. The thirteen were the first to benefit from an amnesty law passed just this last week by the liberation administration of Antonio Guzman. The report said a number of political exiles are expected to return to the country under the amnesty law.<\/p>\n

(recording ends, previous tape for five seconds) Have radio contact. Take one of our units, I\u2019m quite capable with the new thing. (Back to recording)<\/p>\n

The London-based Latin American political report. President Guzman earlier proposed a special commission to review these cases, but it was voted down by the Congress dominated by his own party, the Dominican Revolutionary Party, with heavy pressures from the United States. The presidency of Guzman is still being looked at microscopically and thoroughly \u2013 surveilled thoroughly \u2013 by the United States imperialists, as they feel they\u2019ve lost a hold on the Dominican Republic with the election of the left-leaning President Guzman. Another legal issue, the government of the Dominican Republic summarily dismissed an assistant prosecutor who ordered a police raid on the home of Polibo \u2013 Polibio? \u2013 [Felipo] Diaz, former President Joaquin Balaguer\u2019s lawyer and advisor. The dismissal abated speculation that the Guzman administration was on a vendetta to persecute members of the former government.<\/p>\n

In one of the first diplomatic moves since the party came to power in\u2013 in August, Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez is expected to visit Santa Domingo soon to ratify a trea\u2013 treaty on trade and technico\u2013 technical cooperation, as he\u2019s also expected to be in Guyana very shortly and sign a treaty of friendship.<\/p>\n

Today the next in command (unintelligible name) rather, the next in command to our beloved friend the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Ptolemy Reid, the Chairman of the PNC, the Peoples National Congress, our party of our Prime Minister Forbes Burnham, has also announced to us as he dined with us that world opinion would not allow Venezuela to march across our land, because (stumbles over words) one other time before Venezuela only attempted<\/i> to move two or three miles into the area, and world opinion was too<\/i> disturbed, and it\u2019s even more<\/i> disturbed, and we being Americans would make it even more difficult.<\/p>\n

Students take over university. Students at the University of Marine Sciences in Ensenada, the Mexican state of Baja California, took over the institution in response to cutbacks in funds. Students are still holding the university.<\/p>\n

Nigeria. Military government, as you know, has adhered to its promises to return the country to civilian rule. It has lifted the 12-year ban on political parties and civilian political activities. The nationwide radio and television broadcast, the head of the state, Lieutenant General [Olusegun] Obasanjo also ended the state of emergency imposed since the first military coup in January 1966. The communist party is also legal, and there is a great left activitist movement in Nigeria, as you see, welcoming even the head of the communist party of Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

The following guest column is an interview with Jose\u2013 Jose Benito Escobar, a leader of the Nicaraguan Sandinista National Liberation Front. It was conducted in Havana earlier this year. Just a uh, little bit of its um, feeling, said the\u2013 the Frente Sandinista was born 1961 as a historical necessity of our people to confront the [Anastasio] Somoza dictatorship that is upheld by US capitalism. In a more effective way, we saw that it was necessary to endow the Nicaraguan revolutionary movement with an organization wish a\u2013 which has its foundation\u2013 that has the different grou\u2013 uh, popular sectors, the workers, peasants, students, and other sectors. But in the years since 1961, a series of demonstrations that US does not uh, intend to allow any freedom for Nicaragua, the Sandinistas have become Marxists\/Leninists. All of these groups have merged into a Marxist\/Leninist front, and this Frente Sand\u2013 Sandinista was born as a union of the new Nicaraguan movement. The Revolutionary National Youth, the Unitary Nicaraguan Front, and the veteran Sandinistas who fought with General Agoston\u2013 Augusto Sadinino\u2013 Sandino [C\u00e9sar Augusto Sandino] against the third intervention of the United States of America. Three times, United States of America uh, by fascist aggressive design, sent US military forces into Nicaragua. Three<\/i> times in this century. And those who survived the repression of that awful nightmare, where the US behaved as a fascist imperialist colonialist power by direct Marine invasion \u2013 three times \u2013 first called the movement Sandinista, and in 1962 called the National Liberation Front, but it\u2019s now renamed as the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista\u2013 Sandinista Liberation Front. Bravo to the Nicaraguans as they continue to with\u2013 hold, to hold out for freedom in spite of the fact that three-quarters of the population are either in asylum, abroad exiled, or being tortured in prison, or have been killed. The people of Nicaragua will be freed. no matter how military aid Washington continues to pour into that area of the world, no more than NATO\u2019s trans-Atlantic proposal, and with the Chilean, white Chileans going into Namibia, will be tolerated. The Soviet Union has made it clear that they will not<\/i> stand by and see Chilean mercenaries in Nai\u2013 Namibia interfering with black Africa\u2019s right to be free.<\/p>\n

Thus ends the news of the day and commentary. Be sure you take thought of the previous remarks, and if necessary replay the first part of the speech that I gave several times during the day. Much love, and show your love by your work. Show your care and concern for our people, show your care and concern for getting options to go to these other nations. Educational scholarships that will be all ready the first of the year available for us, if we work well what we have here. Essential to all<\/i> these open doors is that we fruitfully<\/i> build this to the highest.<\/p>\n
