...Lord Harlech, formerly David Ormsby-Gore, comes to the Vietnam issue with rare credentials. A good friend of President Kennedy, he was ambassador to Washington throughout the New Frontier. Now, as deputy leader of the House of Lords, he is one of Ted Heath's "new men." Newsweek calls him "the Tory to watch," predicting that he will head the Foreign Office if and when the Conservatives are elected. He has had experience in the Far East, and advised JFK as well as his own government on the Laotian muddle. As a veteran disarmament negotiator and UN delegate...
...come lately" to the idea of recognizing Peking. He believes the French view of the Vietnam situation is tainted by the fact that Paris has "old axes to grind" in that region.)

But, partly because the U.S. failed to pressure Diem to jettison the Nhus, the political situation in South Vietnam is now thoroughly muddled. Harlech feels it is now time...

As long as it continues, the Soviets will find it politically impossible to negotiate seriously with the U.S. on two issues of paramount importance: nuclear disarmament and the strengthening of the UN's peace-keeping machinery. Lord Harlech does not make the simple claim that Europe is more "important" than the Far East. Rather he implies that progress toward a world-wide East-West detente is more important than the rather confused issues at stake in Vietnam...
