-:Adopt a Win Policy
'. In South Vietnam
To the Editor of The Cour3.nt `,
I was alarmed to read re-
cently that: a leading C1 .
official had written a report
advocating neutralization . of
Vietnam. This plan which
would of course necessitate
withdrawal of American troops
in Vietnam, reportedly had
"general approval" of the
C.I.A.'s ,Board of National Es-
timates.
Let me be quick to remird
any compromisers of the
"peaceful" solution the U.S.
State Department agreed to in
Laos. The United States and So-
viet diplomats agreed to the es-
tablishment of a coalition gov-
ernment, a government which
named 13 Communists to the
15 member cabinet, a govern-
ment which ousted anti-Commu-
nist presid'nt Bonn Ourn, a i-v-
ernment which allowed 10,000
Communist :soldiers to remain
in Laos thus violating Khrush-
chev's pledge.
It is about time the United
Slates reversed this trend and
adopted a win policy in Viet-
nam. The Soviet have prov-
en time and. time again that
peaceful coexistence with the
Communists is impossible. We
are experiencing a time when
America must strengthen its
'stand in South Vietnam and
prove to its people that we will
not sit back and allow them to
become slaves of the Commu-
nists.
Any other program would be
moral prostiia;tion and a dis-
heartening disgrace to the
nearly 200 families of American
soldiers who have given their
lives for the defense of freedom
in Vietnam.
