One of the major problems in South Vietnam has been the rapid turnover in the governments at Saigon. While the more democratic constitution and the elections that have been promised are no automatic guarantee of stability. particularly in a country with virtually no experience with democracy. they at least represent a chance for improvement. Then there is the drag on the war effort that is being exerted by the 1 million refugees in South Vietnam and by the inflation for which Americas presence Is at least partly responsible. Simple commonsense dictates that everything possible be done to alleviate such suffering. not only for humanitarian reasons but also to expedite the war effort. Moreover. once the war Is over. peace with freedom will be insecure as long as people are hungry. homeless. and jobless.
