Nixon's first reaction to the M-day plans was disdainful. At a press conference Sept. 26, he said of the Moratorium: "Under no circumstances will I be affected whatever by it." That was a serious mistake: he outraged many who might otherwise have sat on their hands. "It is now a challenge to show this Administration the outpouring of voter protest," declared Eugene Weisberg, a Denver industrialist and lifelong Republican. Reports Harold Willens, Western-states chairman of the Business Executives Move for Viet Nam Peace: "In the last two weeks, businessmen are suddenly ready to give money...
...students, five male and five female, none known to each other. In the course of the experiment, each was confronted on separate occasions with each of the other nine.

This being the case, it is very important that the anti-war movement make clear to the American people that immediate withdrawal does mean a Communist victory in South Vietnam. Equivocation on this point can only help to reproduce the atmosphere of disillusionment and reaction which followed the "loss" of China in 1949. Instead of vacillating or emphasizing various improbable non-Communist solutions for South Vietnam, the anti-war movement should be preparing for the consequences of its own victory by arguing openly that a Communist government will indeed eventually replace the Americans in Vietnam...
