Hanoi says that the Vietcong must be recognized as the sole representative of the South Vietnamese people before any conference can be held. The South Vietnamese and we reject that contention. There are 250.000 or so Vietcong. But there are 900.000 refugees who came south in 1954. over 700.000 who have fled from Vietcong areas in 1965. 700.000 in the army of South Vietnam. a million and onehalf Catholics. and millions of Buddhists and various other groupings in South Vietnam. They do not want communism. and they have fought it for a dozen years. What could be clearer than that?
