Of the civilian deaths. it is estimated that 30 percent of those killed were under 13 years old. And some 800.000 Vietcong and North Vietnamese soldiers have been killed. The figures on refugees are equally appalling. It is estimated that fully onethird of South Vietnams population. or over 6 million persons. are refugees. The estimate for Cambodia is 1.5 million and for Laos over 1 million. With a Tet offensive expected. we should be prepared to see even these incredible figures skyrocket. * The mounting toll of deaths. destruction. and suffering in Indochina cannot be camouflaged by the administrations rhetoric and false assertions.
