How long can we Americans continue to countenance a policy of mass slaughter of predominantly uninvolved noncombatant people in the nations of Indochina? For we must never forget that so long as the war goes on. it will do so at our instigation. With or without American troops. our air power will continue to devastate that land creating additional civilian casualties by the tens of thousands and refugees by the hundreds of thousands. I Is it not now obvious to everyone that the Presidents socalled plan to end the war is purely a plan to continue the war by subterfuge and deception? Does anyone not know that he intends. in fact. to prolong the war indefinitely. substituting Asian conscripts for American in the deeply cynical expectation that lower casualty figures are all that the American people care about in our Indochina policy?
