Show the salt lake times FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1971 Page Five DOPILOf&ATDC POUCIH The following letters were recently answered by the Department of State: Can you tell me anything of the so called Peoples Peace Treaty, which high school and college students are being asked to support in connection with the war in Vietnam? uring respect for the neutrality of those counties in accord with the Geneva agreements of 1954 and 1962, which North Vietnam has flagrantly violated from the outset and no provisions for implementation of the Treaty terms under international supervision. M.L.T. Dear M.L.T.: Some Department of State officers speaking on campuses are being asked about a so-call- ed Join tTreaty of Peace between the People of the United States, South Viet Nam and North Viet for which the National Student Association (NSA) and others are currently soliciting the endorsements of student bodies and governments, faculty, etc., at high schools and colleges around the country. Support of the general public is also being sought through newspaper advertisements. The document is the outgrowth of contacts between NSA student leaders and some Vietnamese students primarily, but not exclusively, in Its sponsors North Viet-Naare using it as the rallying point for a planned week of civil disobedience in Washington beginning May 1. The terms of this Treaty are essentially same as those repeatedly put forward by Liberation the Hanoi-NationFront delegation at Paris over the last two years: immediate and total withdrawal of U. S. forces from Viet Nam but no mention of withdrawal of North Vietnamese forces from South VietNam, Laos or Cambodia; no obligation on the Communists side to release American prisoners of war, only one to discuss this issue; obligation of the U.S. Government to remove the constitutionally elected government of South Vietnam; no provision for ending the fighting in Laos or Cambodia, other than by Nam, m. so-call- This obviously d position has been unacceptable to every political group in South Vietnam outside the small communist minority which calls itself the Provisional Revolutionary Government. It means the antithesis of self determination for the South Vietnamese people . A fair alternative, which has the approval of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia is contained in President Nixons October 7, 1970, proposals (an immediate, supervised cease fire throughout Indochina); withdrawal of outside forces: immediate and unconditional release of all POWs; a political settlement reflecting the existing relationship of political forces; and an Indochina peace conference). The Communist response has been an adamant refusal to engage in discussions of a peace settlement unless their demands are unaccepted in advance. It is this position which has blocked any progress toward peace. It is this position which those who want peace should try to change. one-side- Albany, N.Y. ed al Transportation Day Proclaimed by Nixon President Nixon has designated May 21, National Defense Transportation Day and the week of National TransportaMay tion Week.

Unless youre a millionaire (and very few are), chances are it takes a determined year-roun- d effort to save enough money for your annual vacation. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you stretch those dollars to their maximum travel and pleasure potentials: 1. If youre- - going to travel by auto, make sure its ready for the road before you leave. Its no fun listening to that clanking under the hood and wondering just where youll be stranded. Road repairs can be both questionable in quantity, quality and quite damaging to your pocketbook. So, make a visit to your regular garageman or other station that specializes in pre-tri- p servicing. And, be sure to carry a spare fan belt, generatoralternator belt and water hose with you for repairs, should they become necessary. 2. A lot of people have found that they can save considerable amounts of money by staying at guest houses with cooking facilities rather than at hotels. If you wonder just how much money can be saved by eating in, think about how much it would cost you to eat out three times a day as compared to the cost of a days food shopping list. 3. The worst blow you can deal yourself on vacation is to spend loo much cash too fast and wind up limping home ahead of time. Be sure, then, to take your Master Charge card hard-to-accumu-l- elf with you to pay for your purchases at more than 882,000 retail outlets, youll not only conserve your cash this way, youll also receive an accurate record of your expenditures in one bill. And if you need cash on the trip, you can get an immediate advance at more than 5,000 banks. 4. Dont make luggage a costly booby trap. On domestic-airplane flights you pay a rate over steep excess-baggag- e 40 pounds on tourist and over tickets: 60 pounds on first-clas- s On overseas Bights, allowances are for 44. 'and 66 pounds respectively. So, one extra 20 pound case can put a swift nick of $50 in your travel budget-r- iot to mention extra porters fees. Consequently, take only those clothes you really need. One way to maximize your wardrobe while minimizing the number of articles is to pack coordinated outfits that can be mixed and matched. 5: Find out about off sea- sons from your local travel agent, as well as the mode of transportation that best tits your .time and budget needs. Off season., accommodation rates are generally a good deal lower than height of the season costs. Similarly, airlines charge less for off hour flights those that leave after dinner, or during the middle of the week. As you can see, you dont have to be a millionaire to vacation.
