...national commander of the Jewish War Veterans, I [visited] Viet Nam and . . . can attest to the accuracy of your observations in your Nov. 22 story on Ho Chi Minh, [but] a number of optimistic points might be made on the basis of what I saw. I found the then President Tran Van Huu definitely pro-American and highly regarded by those Vietnamese who are favorable to the West. Although he left me with a clear impression that he felt that Viet Nam will eventually fall to the Communists because of the clever Communist propaganda program directed to what the masses...
...America that Indians hope to achieve time to make democracy secure at home. Only by recognizing the desire to relieve tensions and settle disputes can one understand the apparent inconsistencies in Nehru's foreign policy.

The articulate among these huddles of refugees complain...

Last week several thousand refugees, fleeing from the Communist interior, got trapped on a sandbar off the coast of North Viet Nam. Before them lay the sea. Behind them lay the Communist land of compulsory joy. In frail craft, the braver, stronger ones made it out to the three-mile limit, where a French aircraft carrier waited...
