Well over 60-years-old, Mrs. Peggy Duff, the "Grand Old Lady of the Peace Movement," is still working toward peace on earth.
Kansan Staff Writer
A year ago she took a two and a half month tour of North Vietnam.
She spoke to Lawrence citizens on the "Peace Movement inside and outside afternoon and about the "Meaning of Vietnamese Communism to the U.S. and the Negotiations in Paris" Friday
Mrs. Duff witnessed war firsthand as early as 1915, and again in the 1940s.
Her efforts for peace began with the "Save Europe Now" campaign shortly after World War II.
FROM THE CAMPAIGN CAME sizes of British ARMS budgets, a capaign to abolish capital punishment in England and a campaign to reduce crime.
"The people we talked with in the remote villages of North Vietnam, along the streets of Hanoi were happy and very proud to government" — and right.
"For the first time since 1945, they have enough clothes and shoes, food, work and bicycle transportation all over their country."
"Perhaps the only setback the people have suffered is the destruction of their homes. They were replaced nearly all of the beautiful old brick homes which were destroyed by U.S. bombs."
MRS. DUFF SAID the police in Hanoi and other cities were armed only with whistles, no firearms, but they bombing strikes nearly all of the peasants were armed and numbers of anti-aircraft guns were set up in the villages, but they never overthrow the government there.
"Life has changed radically for the past century and as the villages have been organized into cooperatives, but nothing the size or semblance of the Chinese
"They weren't forced on the people. In most cases only 40 per cent of a village originally went along, but gradually when the
people saw the cooperatives doing better they care in too."
She said peasants still had a remaining independent or joining party, and there was a free market outlet for produce as well as a state
The villages still maintain a large degree of autonomy, according to Mrs. Duff. Some districts or provinces, the next more powerful state, have more power than states do in the United States, she said.
Almost every village, even those in the mountains have a clinic with doctors, assistants and midwives she said. Malaria has been virtually wiped out in most of the country, still plagues the south, she said.
IN THE NORTH the peasants are growing as many as two rice crops and a third auxiliary crop of maize, with the advancing agricultural experimental stations, she said. Minority languages that in the past were only spoken are now written as well, Mrs Duffa said.
And with all the advances, the status of women is radically changed too. Mrs. Duff said.
Women enjoy 30 per cent representation in the cooperatives and committees she said, as well as their own jobs and holds a visage or district school, she said, until the age of 15.
Mrs. Duff said life in North Vietnam was happy, progressive and peacefully beautiful.
