    The first stop on your fifty-four campuses speaking tour was on November 2, 1970 at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario Canada. Although Canada did not have troops in Viet Nam, Canada did participate in the war by supplying the U.S. military with supplies such as Agent Orange. This toxic herbicide was manufactured by the Uniroyal Chemical Plant in Elmira, Ontario which is 60 miles from London, Ontario. The day before your arrival the President of Fanshawe College came into the Student Union Office to warn of possible disruption at the event. That was the first time he had ever come into the Student Union office. Thanks for your visit to London and providing the students with your insights on the war in Viet Nam. I’m sorry that after dropping you off at the London Airport that you were arrested in Cleveland. Not a very good end to your visit to Canada.
