Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 24, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it 6 news partly Cloudy vol. 92, be. 173 it. Pleasant Iowa priday evening july 24, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain labor fights the communists in Vietnam the Trade Union movement of the West Hasni to always followed policies that Are the Best for society. But to give the unions and their social democratic and Laberite political party allies their due they have been stronger bulwarks against communism than Many of the businessmen. The tendency of the hard hats in America to react against dilettante juvenile collectivists for example is quite in keeping with Union psychology. The hard hats have a stake in democracy in capital expansion and in a wage scale that is As Good if not better than the average of Middle Ciao remuneration. It is important to know then that the confederation Vietnam Vienne do Travail or the vietnamese confederation of labor is building itself into the social fabric of its country As the process of a proceeds. From time to time the confederations president Tran Quoc Buu sends this column reports of the latest Cut news. Tran Quoc Buu is an ardent anti communist he Learned As a Short term member of the communist controlled Viet Minh in ims that there was no use making a United front with to Chi Minh. He also Learned something More. Western Trade unionists have always begun by organizing the Industrial workers and Western marxists have always stressed the Urban proletariat. But Tran Quoc Buu had noticed quite Early that to Chi i Hhd a strategy was a Rural strategy. It was to penetrate the peasantry to swim like fishes in the sea of a radicalized Countryside. Too to counter the to strategy which is based on the teaching of chairman Mao tse Tung Tran Quoc Buu has been extending his unionization into the South vietnamese Countryside. The object is to create a hostile a a sea in which the Viet Cong a a fishes will find it impossible to exist. The tenant Farmers federation with 165,000 members and the fishermen a a federation 112,000 members have become the biggest unions to the Cut which has 500,000 members in All. The Plantation workers make up a smaller affiliate with 12,000 members. By comparison the Industrial and service affiliates of the Cut Are Small the textile workers membership is a Mere 2,500. Too Tran Quoc Buu has been expanding his influence in the Countryside beyond his Union membership by making alliances with the banners of the Hoa Hoa and the Cao Dai sects. His Cut follows the old Samuel Gompers american federation of labor Rule of staying Clear of official political party affiliation. In the Countryside however the Cut organizes Farmers to pressure for legislation that helps them. Tran Quoc Buu has set up an Agency that imports tractors and fertilizers for the Farmers at the cheapest rates. A program of training goes with the importation of machinery. Since most of the Farmers water buffaloes have been killed1 to the War Rice farm mechanization is a necessity. So the Cut trains the Farmers to use Small tractors and mechanized pumping equipment As Well As the newest fertilizers and insecticides. The Black Market in fertilizer distribution has been practically eradicated by the tenant Farmers federation which Heads a National committee for making fertilizer available to everybody. Tran Quoc Buu backs the Thieu governments land Reform program which if it can be carried out successfully could increase peasant proprietorship to a Point that would make it unnecessary for Farmers to join unions. But the Prospect of being worked out of a Job in the Countryside does not concern Tran Quoc Buu at the moment. He is totally wrapped up in the Effort to counter the a liberation a program of the Viet Cong in the Rural areas and he thinks he can achieve a huge Success of Only the ministry of agriculture will give him technicians to work with the Farmers. Al since the Cut is not directly in politics Tran Quoc Bim does no to make headlines for Western reporters. But he feels the need for a More political activity a and for a a political party working parallel with the labor this will presumably come when War conditions disappear. It would not Only Complete the process of a Viet Nami nation a it would also add to the Floe Western flavor of Tran Quoc Buuts country. Nations with social democratic labor parties and Strong anti communist unions fight the communist virus better than most.
