Second, he said the American government should offer immense reparation to both sides in Vietnam and to Laos and Cambodia, as well. Oglesby said that the economic conditions of Asia had to be improved in order he suggested "craking the power" of international firms, and an equivalent wage scale. He said that the U.S. should refuse to give aid to tyrannical regimes. The United States should also study how the West contributed to China's present policies, he said. Oglesby delivered what he called a "tirade" on U.S. policy in Vietnam to an audience of about 250 students in Lowell Lecture Hall. The audience was absolutely silent while he read his speech, and at the end gave his a standing ovation.
