action in summer schools across the country to fight ROTC, military research, and police institutes:

leafletting of workers about the war:

organization of a national working:

support for upcoming strikes by workers;

support for black rebellions;

fighting male chauvinism;

organization of a large demonstration in early August.

The motivation given with the proposals provides an understanding of their differences. The SMC proposal said. "Mass demonstrations remain the anti-war movements' most effective method for communicating its message to, and involving, the largest numbers of people. By the sheer weight of numbers that can be assembled at a given time and place, the movement gains credibility and visibility... The job of the anti-war movement is to educate, organize and mobilize tens of millions of people to hasten the day when those with the power to change governmental policy use that power to end the war."

The SMC proposal said that workers should be dealt with through their union leadership. It advocated working from the top down: "where official union endorsement is forth-coming this should be publicized by the anti-war movement in literature designed for distribution at plant gates and places where workers gather." The SMC cited anti-war demonstrations held by the trade union movement in the aftermath of Cambodia. They saw this development as "a break with AFL-CIO President George Meaney's policy of abject support to the war."

The proposal further called for a policy of non-exclusion, aimed at allowing anyone, including liberals, to speak at their rallies. It also called for nonviolence. "Confrontational adventures hurt the movement by alienating otherwise sympathetic sections of the population, particularly labor and Black and Brown peoples."

A survey printed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer the day of the conference showed that 50 per cent of the black soldiers in Vietnam were planning to use weapons to gain their rights back home.

The SDS proposal presented a biting class analysis of the situation. It repudiated much of the union leadership and called for a worker-student alliance, especially a coalition among students and campus workers. Liberal politicians, SMC and YSA were attacked for having the same interests and underlying goals as the conservatives. They were seen as anti-labor and racist.

After more debate Sunday afternoon, the SMC proposal was passed by a two-to-one margin over the SDS proposal. With that the conference was over. It will not be the last such conference this summer, however. The New Mobe has called a conference for June 26-27 in Milwaukee. The Black Panthers have issued a call for a People's Revolutionary Constitutional Convention to be held September 7 in Philadelphia.

By the end of the conference, it was clear that what the SMC still wants is more mass demonstrations. They want them to be peaceful and well-marshalled. Their primary concern is the war. Other pressing problems such as racism were mentioned only in passing. Workers were related to in two ways- they would be Leafleted, and their union leaders would be encouraged to speak at anti-war rallies.

SDS, on the other hand, calls for intensive organizing around concrete aspects of the military, such as ROTC and military research. The issues of concern are not just the war, but also racism, male chauvinism and unemployment. Workers are seen as potential allies. SDS encourages coalitions among students and campus workers and urges support for striking workers.

While SMC is more palatable to middle class Americans, and achieves the support of liberal senators- its focus is only on the war. SDS, while often alienating people, is struggling to break down some of the barriers which divide the American people. They call for support of black people; they call for support of women. They are also trying to deal with the division of worker and student.

It is difficult to say whether SDS will be able to accomplish its goals, or whether it will become too uncompromising, and isolate itself. On the other hand, although large demonstrations may be a way of bringing new people into the movement, there are growing numbers of people who are tired of marching.
