Now he is on the road to success. His ability. his energy. his integrity. and his honesty are at last being recognized for what they are. Furthermore. when we consider the fact that the Premier was placed in office after the Geneva Conference of a year ago. supposedly to go down with a sinking ship. and when we consider how much he has salvaged within that time. when we consider the fact that South Vietnam was not a signatory to the agreement of a year ago. and neither was this country. when we consider the fact that the Communists of North Vietnam have constantly broken the agreement at Geneva. violated the terms of the truce. and refused to permit refugees to go south as they wanted to. when we think of the fact that they participated aggressively a few weeks ago against the Government of Laos. when we know that there are at least 10.000 Vietnamese and French Union prisoners still being held by the Viet Minhwhen we think of all this. and of the things which the Premier has done. and then think of the election next year. if we go forward on that basis. the results may not be too good. But that is something which Mr. Ngo Dinh Diem himself will have to solve.
