As our main feature this week, we retell the story of Thailands military coup and the events leading up to it. We hope that New Zealand students will read it and become conversant with the situation of students, workers and peasants under a fascist regime controlled primarily by American capital.

The two Octobers in 1973 and 1976 will both be unforgettable to Asian students. The democratic constitutions that the Thai students have fought for with their blood, now vanishes in blood. In the direction of the Thai Student Movement, especially in the three years after Oct. 1973, there are a lot of experiences worth profound cogitation and summing up.
