There will be more than merely American forces in North Vietnam. We ought to take judicial notice* of the fact that Asia has no intention of turning Asia over to Western powers. Let any Senator or anyone in the Government produce for me one high. competent military official who will appear and testify under oath that we can place an American conventional army in Asia and expect that army to succeed without horrendous losses. as tide after tide of Asiatic human bodies is hurled at that army by Communist powers who place no value on human lives. Now is the time for us to do our thinking. before the fact. in order to prevent the fact from occurring. and not after. the fact. The South Vietnam war is of such great concern to American foreign policy. to our ideals. to our professions. to our statements. that we believe in settling disputes by application of the rule of law. that we ought to start keeping faith with it.
