Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 1, 1963, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press thursday August 1, 1963 Nam Iii Thailand s prime minister counters communist aggression by seepage Bangkok special the economist formidable indestructible Field marshal Sarit thanarat supposedly Liv ing on borrowed time since he survived the knives of awed doctors at the Walter Reed hos Pital in Washington five years ago looks fighting fit at 55. He celebrated his birthday last month by adding a new port Folio As Siam s minister of economic development to his full hand prime minister supreme commander of the armed forces adviser to the King director general of he also plodded vigorously through the exercises being conducted by the Southeast Asia treaty organization stiffened his crash counter Offen Sive against communist infiltration subversion in Siam s vulnerable Northeast. The marshal can still work hard relax. His earthy paternal despotism remains popular absolute. He can find time personally to com mend a Little girl for standing All Day beside the Road to re turn a helmet to an american Soldier who dropped it from a bumping armoured car Al so to break a military trans port officer who in the old siamese tradition tried to gouge a Hundred dollars from a flabbergasted Seato officer As the Price of half a dozen rail trucks to carry tanks to bang Kok. He is his own Diplomat luxuriating in his siamese con tempt for Cambodia Mak ing rough noises about . Aid to Neutra lists. Recently he abruptly cancelled a widely advertised visit by the Bolshoi Ballet because of his conviction that locally distributed anti Seato leaflets were inspired by the russian embassy in Bangkok. Most important his close association with Siam s intelligent King Phum Iphon is now coloured by affection As Well As Mutual respect Trust. Free gifts astutely marshal Sarit has linked the King his Beautiful Queen with the energetic if belated Campaign to reclaim the scrub wastelands of North Eastern Siam to raise the wretched subsistence Levels of the half million peasants who Are under increasing systematic attention from communist agents chinese North vietnamese laotian. This Campaign of aggression by As the . Ambassador in bang Kok or. Young describes it being skilfully operated by paddlers infiltrating with free gifts by indoctrinated siamese who have been trained in North Viet Nam at Phong Saly in Laos by anti Bangkok propaganda programs beamed from radio stations in Laos Southern China. Another novel threat has been the recent vent of a Green Mantle Type god with a communist trained chinese wife from the Field marshal Sarit thanarat burmese Shan states who is proclaiming Independent kingdom for the Hill tribesmen in the wild Border country. Historic Temple As minister of economic development marshal Sarit is now spending million on Model villages schools roads hospitals irrigation Agri cultural improvements in this Long neglected area. Economic welfare is supported by. Mobile teams radiating a simple positive propaganda information program. The theme is thai loves thai helps thai Thailand Progress pictures Are handed out of the King the Queen Buddha. Television roasts Are being built for communal entertain ment in the villages. Reinforced Security forces act As labourers builders on the old Mao tse Tung Model. Picked Young administrators Are being sent from the capital. Marshal Sarit himself has made six visits to the Region in the past six months there is talk of holding Cabinet meet Ings in one of the provincial centres. Nor was it merely pious wanderlust that brought the King Queen to the historic Temple of that phanom in the Northeast to celebrate the anniversary in May of Buddha s entry into nirvana the first time they have done so outside Bangkok. Are these counter measures too late marshal. Sarit has Given up Hope of laotian Neu travism How could they the West at Geneva think they could mix Oil vinegar but he believes that Siam including the Northeast can hold if the communists Are not permitted to reach the Mekong River if South Viet Nam is held. His sense of Dedi cation is Strong he is said to want his name in the history books not his Money in a Swiss Bank account he is sur rounded by Loyal aides de voted advisers. Of course there is still corruption in Siam but the Field marshal s fierce Rov ing Eye imposes restraint wariness. He has lost Only two members of his original 1958 Cabinet a surprised agricultural minister who was shot by a jealous mistress an astonished finance minister who was sacked for some run of the siamese Mill speculation. Western diplomats Palace officials alike become pensive when the question of marshal Sarit s succession is raised. There is no obvious replace ment in sight. It is whispered hoped that he the King have quietly reached agreement to meet any Emer gency. Still the Bangkok Toast to the health of the mar has a definite Politi Cal meaning.

For it shows which Way we have decided to go. And so while it is quite True that the political test ban does not mean that there is. Peace no further danger of War it does mean that the two great nuclear Powers have agreed that neither will go All out in the Effort to achieve absolute nuclear superiority with it total world supremacy. This agreement does not end the race of armaments. But it changes radically the race of armaments its purpose its Pace. As Long As there is no limit on testing particularly in the atmosphere there is a High Premium on the Effort to search for an absolute weapon say an anti missile missile which could destroy the deterrent of the adversary or some kind of super bomb which launched without notice could annihilate the adversary. So useless while the proposed test ban does not prohibit entirely the search for the absolute Wea Pon it slows up that search sufficiently to make it most improbable that either coun try will produce the absolute weapon. For while the search can continue in the laboratories underground there is no present scientific Prospect that this will produce the absolute weapon. So far reaching an agree ment would not live been arrived at we must assume if both countries had not Learned from their experiments their studies that even with unlimited testing in the Atmos phere there was no reasonable Chance of a breakthrough to the absolute weapon. If there were a Good Chance the prize would be so dazzlingly great the penalty so horrible that neither country would have been willing to give up the search. We Are in oled to believe that both countries have accepted the ban be cause they have Learned that the search is so dangerous so costly so useless. Absolute Power in renouncing the search for the absolute weapon the soviet Union the United states Are accepting Asun changeable but tolerable the existence of an effective bal Ance of nuclear forces be tween them. They Are mutually deterred from striking at each other the nuclear stalemate prevents either of them from demanding an unconditional surrender from the other. They Are compelled to co exist however uncomfortably a amiably since neither of them has absolute Power both of them would be irreparably Hurt if either acted As if he had absolute Power. After everything Riteful cautionary Prudential has been said about How this treaty is Only a first step there is no doubt that it is a very important step. General direction what about the second step Here the two sides can move with deliberation. For they May remind themselves that there is a considerable Dif Ference Between first Steps second Steps. The first step sets the Genera direction. If that direction is West then the direction is not East South or North. Once the direction has been set say in Chicago to go West there Are Many goals paths that can be taken All in the direction of the Pacific Ocean. Or. Khrushchev is asking that the second step be a non aggression pact. But he has not made the test ban conditional upon any specific non aggression pact. This was re assuring it was Wise in that it recognizes How much More important is the test ban itself than is any political agreement that could come after it. For if As i have been arguing the test ban is a. Virtual renunciation of the search for an absolute Wea Pon for political Supre Macy then the draft proposal is itself a great non aggression pact. As regards West Germany which the russians fear so much Moscow should remember that there has existed for nearly nine years As Complete a commitment to non aggression As the lawyers could de Vise. Before West Germany was admitted to nato it is sued a declaration that the German Federal Republic undertakes never to have re course to Force to achieve the reunification or the Modifica Tion of the present boundaries of the German Federal re Public . To resolve by peaceful Means any disputes which May arise Between the Federal Republic the other there is no reason Why this same declaration redrafted to commit All the nato states should not be made parallel with a comparable declaration by the soviet government its european Al lies. Solemn commitment the Point which troubles the West germans is not that they wish to weaken the solemn commitment to their own allies. It is that in some in direct Way the non aggression agreement which or. K is asking for would As or. Von Brentano has just put it Lead to a freezing of the unsatisfactory political situation in the world particularly in in my View this freezing will not be prevented by diplomatic nit picking about How much recognition of East Germany is involved in every agreement Between Eastern Western Europe. The fact is that the partition of Ger Miffy is now Frozen has been Frozen for years the West German Rule of re fun icing to accept any measure however limited to increase Intercourse Between the two Germany is the reason Why the West has never had any policy realistically designed to unfreeze the partition. What the . Should be do ing now i believe is to take a positive instead of a Nega Tive line. Instead of the nit picking to avoid any indirect recognition of the division of Germany it should open up the Long difficult but not necessarily hopeless discus Sion of the terms of German reunification. If the germans Are to become reunified they Are bound to pay a Price for it. Sometime in the not too Distant future there will be germans who Are More interested in reunification than in the Small business about the degree of diplomatic recognition. Then we shall be Gin to find out whether or. Khrushchev will can pre vent the reunification of Ger Many.
