We, the undersigned, painters ,and sculptors, writers and edit? s, musicians and t eate
? United S9teP1 feel w
must protest the power being exercised in our names and those Of all the American people. We can not remain silent about a
foreign policy grOwn more nakedly inhuman with each passing day.
A decade ago, when the people of Vietnam were fighting Fretich colonialism, the artists and intcl ec
from Sartre to Mauriac. from Picasso to Cam us?called on the french people's conscience to ,protest
:immoral and to demand an end to that dirty war?Pla sale gure." Today, we in our oWnrCouniri can
Our President Must be made a'44?are- that his words of "peace" will not be heard above the din of the bombs falling o
Vietnam; that his 'concern for 'freedom" in South Vietnam, is InOcked by eleven years' maintenance there ,of brutal police
regimes assisted by American money, American guns, and finally. .,'American blood.
Our President must be told that our actions in the Dominican Iepublic are nothing less than aimed intervention in a civi
another nation. Our !eiders Intuit be reminded that in VIETNAM and the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
they ail violating international law, the charter of the UN, and, indeed, the spirit of our own constitution.
They must learn that their plans for United States hegemony. . . for a "Pax Americana" ... must lead not to peace
but to death and destruction. They ,must accept the fact that they have no more right in Vietnam than did the Frenc
colonialists before them; further, that their intrusion in Latin America is justifiably interpreted, both abroad and her
at home as aggression.
American artists wish once more to have faith in the United States of America. We Will not remain silent in the face 9
our country's shame. We call on all citizens of our nation to join with us:
