May 24, 1991
BRAMPTON, Ontario — Two hundred members of Local 252 of the Canadian
Auto Workers union occupied the Caterpillar of Canada plant here for six
days. The action followed the company’s decision to close the plant July
12 and move the production lines to its U.S. plant in Raleigh, North
Carolina, by the end of the year. The occupation ended April 30 after
Caterpillar officials agreed to hold discussions with union
representatives.
“Originally 40 of us sat in after working our shift,” Ron Ottaway, a
stores controller who has worked at Caterpillar for 12 years, said. “The
local set up a picket line near the door to ask workers coming if they
would support us.…We asked everyone to join us and we got a 100 percent
response.”

Premier Ky’s blitzkrieg attack on Danang May 15 ends any pretense that
the U.S. puppet will allow the south Vietnamese to elect a
Buddhist-dominated government in the proposed elections — if these
elections are to be held at all. Danang is the largest city in the
overwhelmingly Buddhist northern region of south Vietnam.
It was there that the civilian movement was launched which almost
toppled the Ky regime last month.
What worried Washington about these elections, however, was not so much
the fact that they would bring in a new government, as the strong
probability that any genuinely representative government would seek an
end to the war through negotiations with the National Liberation Front.

Roosevelt and Churchill suffered a serious diplomatic reverse when the
Vichy government [of France] moved towards closer “collaboration” with
Hitler. The real extent of the collaboration has not yet been revealed.
It can be assumed, however, that Hitler’s pressure has succeeded in
completely tying Vichy to his “new order.”
An immediate result of the agreement was the granting of permission for
Nazi planes to land in Syria on the way to help the Iraq government
fighting against British armies. The British did not hesitate to bomb
the Syrian airfields and the probability of a real struggle between
French and British forces is becoming ever more serious.
