North Viet Nam rejected U S peace proposals as an impudent deception aimed at masking escalation in the Viet Nam war. Hanoi protested U S bombings in the demilitarized zone and accused air forces of spraying noxious chemicals along the southern border in violation of the Geneva Agreements. The Hanoi note, issued through the Nhan Dan newspaper, echoed earlier refusals by Peking and Hanoi of Gold's peace feelers.
