 * "This immortal statement was made in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776. In a broader sense, this means: All the peoples on the earth are equal from birth, all the peoples have a right to live, to be happy and free.


 * "The Declaration of the French Revolution made in 1791 on the Rights of Man and the Citizen also states: 'All men are born free and with equal rights, and must always remain free and have equal rights.'


 * "Those are undeniable truths.


 * "Nevertheless, for more than eighty years, the French imperialists, abusing the standard of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, have violated our Fatherland and oppressed our fellow citizens. They have acted contrary to the ideals of humanity and justice.


 * "In the field of politics, they have deprived our people of every democratic liberty.


 * "They have enforced inhuman laws; they have set up three distinct political regimes in the North, the Center, and the South of Viet-Nam in order to wreck our national unity and prevent our people from being united.


 * "They have built more prisons than schools. They have mercilessly slain our patriots; they have drowned our uprisings in rivers of blood.


 * "They have fettered public opinion; they have practiced obscurantism against our people.


 * "To weaken our race they have forced us to use opium and alcohol.


 * "In the field of economics, they have fleeced us to the backbone, impoverished our people and devastated our land.


 * "They have robbed us of our rice fields, our mines, our forests, and our raw materials. They have monopolized the issuing of bank notes and the export trade.


 * "They have invented numerous unjustifiable taxes and reduced our people, especially our peasantry, to a state of extreme poverty.
