...Senate Foreign Relations Committee reinforces such doubts and suggests that unduly sanguine analyses from the field may once again be misleading the nation. The document was prepared by James G. Lowenstcin and Richard M. Moose, both former foreign service officers who are considered moderates of a mildly dovish persuasion. They visited Viet Nam for eleven days in December. They warn that the yardsticks used to measure progress in Viet Nam consist of "far more ambiguous, confusing and contradictory evidence than pronouncements from Washington and Saigon indicate." Adds the report: "A visitor to Viet Nam can easily find evidence to support...
Thieu is also disturbed by the growing popularity in the Assembly of the "third force" idea, revived in November by dovish Senator Tran Van Don and General Duong Van (Big) Minh. Though never precisely defined, the phrase-a familiar one to old Viet Nam hands-envisions a regime that is completely accountable to neither the Communists nor the Americans but is acceptable to both.

Wall Street, and much of the American business community, favors what Economist Paul A. Samuelson calls a "dovish-bullish syndrome"-which conjures up visions of a hybrid creature with wings, hooves and horns. Recent history shows that peace pays. World War II and Korea were followed not by the depressions that had been predicted, but only by mild recessions that were soon erased by new bursts of prosperity. A stand-down in Viet Nam would help both to cool inflation and to open new opportunities for dealing with some of the social ills that hurt the nation and its economy...
