VIE? NAM k. Ever since the year ox’ 1957 our ' toops of the United States Armed Forces have been losing their lives in the los- ing battle of communism. I read in the Reader1a Digest that if we exoect to win the war in Asia that we must quit just playing with the Vietna- mese and ?o in with I'ull force in order to overtake and con- trol the communist. Our objectives are to prevent collapse and catastro- phe in Viet Nam; yet at the same tine to win over domestic opposition, to Drove to our allies that we seek peace with honor, and to give Poking and Moscow no excuse to broaden the war. The United States has committed over 125.OCO troops, but still we have made no progress to cause com- munist to be haul ted in their fight against Democracy. The Vietconm, although hurt, have been winning, too, in the bot- tle of manpower. U.S, casual- ities are a fraction of those imposed unon the communists; but the South Vietnamese oas- ualties-plus desert.Lons-have been in many recent months of the war larger than those of the Allies. For the past two years Britain has maintained about 50,000 troops in Singapore, Malaysia snd North Borneo,with the main ourpose of guarding Malaysia against the bombastic threats of the Indonesian fel- low traveler; the Demagogue Sukarno has again made common cause with the Enemy. It is also said that block- ades are not only the way to win the War in Asia. Another v?ay is to make massive air attacks known as systematic bomoing. Right now we h8ve weakened a ieir of the rain spots,but it is known that we have overlooked a sea port and an oil station which can main- tain a great deal of trouble for the American troops fight- ing in the forests and jungles of the Asian Countries. An- other main problem of the sol- diers is that the Vietmanese make all kinds of boobytraps that will make a soldier un- eclo tc fight-causing another soldier to carry or aid him. In this way there are two stal- ed: out of battle; making the troops weaker. Truly it is a me3s which cannrt be corrected in a matter of days or months. Gax y Benjamin '67 « ■» • ■ EXCHANGE We .have received THE SKETCH frun Burlington Champlain College, the RED WHITE from Rutland High School, THE PEN'N INK from Greensboro, the WICK from Hardwick Academy and the HALUOWEEN WICK also from Hard- wick Academy. We find these school papex-s very good with one ex- ception, they could put a little more pep in their jotes. Please continue to exchange with us. Richard Blaney '67 SOME OF US MTGHT find haooiness if we would quit struggling so desoerately for it.
