An Appeal to American Public Opinion .
THE UNITED STATES
IS BACKING A
PRO-CHINESE* REGIME!
The United States Congress is discussing American Foreign Aid
Program. But according to our information, not a single voice hai
been raised as yet in the Capitol against the granting of Amer:
ican Aid amountihg to tens of millions of dollars- to Guinea, in
spite of the fact that the Guinean regime is obviously the most.
pro-Chinese of the whole African continent.
We, the leaders of the National Liberation Front of ?Guinea,,
decided to save our country from the communist Chinese yet
and with us, all the free Africans, we do not understana the
American policy. We are at a loss to understand how, on the one
hand, the American people send the finest of their sons in Viet-
nam in order to contain Red China, while on the other, these'
same Americans are aSsuring the survival of the. only out and
out pro-Chinese regime in Africa.
The Guinean regime does not even hide its pro-Chinese feel.;
ings. "Horoya," the official and only newspaper of Sekou ?
Toure's regime, provides some most edifying reading in this field? ?
In it will be found nothing but praise for China and Mao Tse
Tung, without the least criticism, and unalleviated criticism of
the United States without any praise at all.
Here are a few samples of its praise handed out to China,
which we have picked out at random from "Horoya." ?
*. First of all Red China is so popular in present-day Guinea,.,
that it is the theme of popular songs. A current one in Guinea
entitled "Militant Africa sings Mao Tse Tung and his great;
'cause," and 'published in "Horoya" on May 7, 196) Says of Ma?,
among other things:
, "Enormous is your work
? And immortal your thought.
They are China's slm,
The sun also of all those
who fight.
A gigantic river of limitless
power
Is your work.
A bright shining MI destined
never to set
Is your thought.
They light up enormous China
And also the hearts
02 all the world's militant
peoples."
Furthermore, it is well known that China's latest atomic ex-
periment was universally condemned. President Sekou Toure,
however, chose, on May 14, to send a message of congratulations ?
to Mao Tse Tung. "It was with genuine pleasure,' he wrote,''
"that we learnt of the success of the Chinese nuclear explosion.
We send to our friends, the Chinese people, and in particular to
its scientists, our hearty congratulations . . . " On October 19,
1965, after the first Chinese bomb had been exploded, he had
already declared: "The Chinese atomic experiment is absolutely,
,? normal."
The head of a Guinean delegation back from China, also
expressed in "Horoya" his admiration for Mao's land.
"We saw for ourselves just how much political education,
which is so necessary for a true socialist revolution, was
provided in China, from kindergarten right up to the fac-
tory. From their earliest years, the Chinese learn what the
class struggle really is ..
? But although the Guinean regime may be so full oladmiration.,,'?
for communist China, Mao's fellow-countrymen are equal In their ???
admiration for their comrades in Guinea. On March 28, 1966, the
head of the Peking delegation, Invited along to the celebrations'?"
!for the With anniversary of Guinean youth, stated in a publicly, ,?`.
pronounced speech:
"We are very happy to see with our own eyes that the
youth of Guinea is very anti-imperialist minded ... At the
call of President Sekou Toure, Guinean- youth is ready to ,
meet imperialist violence with revolutionary violence .
If the entire youth of Guinea and Africa were armed as your
militia is, then imperialism would not be left with an inch
of ground on which to set foot in Africa.", ;
The Guinean regime was recently able to give a more brilliant
demonstration of its pro-Chinese sympathies. There Was a split.'
in the para-communist organization of "Afto-Aslatic
Those backing Russia met In Cairo and those backing thine met
In Peking. On June 29, "Horoya', annbUnced that' Guinea would('
at. the Peking meeting'?
1 :?t-' Chinese peopk and of all peoples siruggling against ,m-
perialism, in particular American imperialism, arid against- '7 .
. colonialism and neo-colonialism."
-!. - Concerning the question which most closely touches the Amer...
. [can people) that of Vietnam. Guinea's position could )10t bit ..
' clearer. On May 25, the "Voice of Revolution," RadiOtonakry's.
-:' official name, broadcast the following communique: ?
"The Political Bureau of the Party heartily condemns
United States intervention in the internal affairs of South
Vietnam. The Political Bureau assures- the South Vietnam .
National Liberation. Front (Viet-Cong) of its active support .'?-?
in the face of imperialist -aggression ..
i
Moreover, "Horoya" prints only news coming from the press.
. agencies in Peking end Hanoi. The following example is an ex-
tract from the July 1 issue of "Horoya" on the fighting in South.?
Vietnam: ? ' ::
"Following the resounding defeats inflicted on them daily 1, ,
' by the NLF forces, the puppets and their masters are seized ?
with panic in South Vietnam."
On July 7, "Horoya" once more grossly 'distorted the
bombing of the oil depots at Hanoi and Haiphong, com-
menting:
"Dozens of American planes bombed and strafed residen-
tial districts and non-military installations causing consider-
able loss of life and destruction of property belonging to the
civil population."
"Horoya" on July 12, 1966, wrote again on the same .,
topic: ..;
'In spite of the warnings and above ail, the cont:nual '
defeats suffered by the American Air Force, the American
"Pirates of the Air" continue to bomb, not without consid-
erable difficulty, the towns of the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam. The North Vietnamese Air Force who resolutely
await the enemy, inflict heavy losses each day on the forces k,',.
of the aggressor." ?
United States politics and military action are not the only 1.
whipping boys of the Guinean regime. American cultural activ-
ities are also regarded with disfavour by the communist purists ',..
of Guinea. "Horoya" chose July 4, 1966, America's national
' holiday, to publish the following leaders: ,
"Imperialists have realized that if their system is to last, .......-?'
\Investment in "Cultural co-operation" pays Off infinitely ,
. ? better in the long run than Investment in military bases ..
? The counter revolutionary ,ciens, linked up by certain clinic,- -I
, matic missions in Guinea,, are dotng ? their utmost to flood :
our market with the most pernicihus kind of literature, in
.;the form of paper-backs, newsn'apers, bulletins sent free of
charbe to almost all the cadres of the Party and the Gov- ..
errhislis7ent, and to a certain number of militants and work-
This
,
attack is directed against the United States alone, for,-
since' diplomatic relations were broken off, neither England nor ???
I. France have an embassy in Conakry.
.,. That is' the sort of country, China-loving and America-hating, :,
to which Congress each year assigns tens of millions of dollars. .''.
?,. It is this overtly pro-Chinese regime that the American taxpayer, ?. ,
,., Is helping to survive: it is, to this same regime that the United::,
, 'States Congress. handed out: % .
" 17,000,000 dollars In 1963 .
I 22,000,000 dollars in 1964

? last' but not least, ever since, Ghana's Nkrumah was over- ?
' thrown In February, Guinea ha's been communist China's turn-

But thee ' is more to come. .Sekou Toure's regime is not con-7
tent to be merely pro-Chinese; it also violates one of the finest '
universal proverbs: "You do not bite the hand that feeds you,"
and covers the United 'States in insults. Here again are a few
examples, taken at random. On April 25, 1966, "Horoya" wrotel.?
' . "Imperialist ideology propaganda services beat us about 4.
, the head with the "red peril,' the "yellow peril," and even
the "black peril" In the United States, but never a word ?..?
about the "white peril," which is guilty of the most bar- .;
barous atrocities in Asia, South America, Oceania and Africa.
And yet, at the present moment the "white peril" is the
most serious . .
On June 20, 1966, "Peking News" published a statement by
M. Camara Djibril, political charge of the Guinea National Ballet";),
? which had been touring China for several months. Digging ?
