Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 31, 1967, Winnipeg, Manitoba Hanoi hints at negotiations continued these new clues appear to have no relation to the american talks with National liberation front representatives about Amer ican prisoners of War. Some officials think sen. Kennedy May have confused the two subjects. At any rate the newest signal from Hanoi As seen Here came in Hanoi s broadcast on sunday of an interview Given by North vietnamese foreign min ister Nguyen Duy Trinh to australian communist journalist Wilfred Burchett in Hanoi. As seen the critical word in or. Trinh s remarks was the could in this sentence halt raids if it wants talks it the United states must first halt unconditionally the bombing raids and All other acts of War against the dry North it is Only after the unconditional cessation of . Bombing and All other acts of War against the dry that there could be talks Between the dry and the ." these words were Given added emphasis by their repetition and underlining in sunday s Issue of the Hanoi party newspaper nhan Dan. A second Point in the Burchett interview especially noted Here was or. Trinh s statement that the four Point program of the Hanoi regime for peace fully conforms to the spirit of the five Point statement of the National liberation front the political of the Viet Cong in South Vietnam and correctly lays Down the direction and measures for settling the Vietnam problem. This statement too was repeated in nhan Dan. In fact these two direct quotations were the Only ones repeated by the paper. Both were included within a lengthy commentary Asser Ting that the communists will win a great Success and inevitable Victory Over the americans and castigating president Johnson for deceitful talk of peace it is however common communist practice to drop hints or signals in this manner. In fact one Hanoi watcher Here compared the latest clue to one dropped by to Chi Minn in 1953 to a swedish journalist which led to talks with the French. The second Point by or. Trinh was taken to that the four Point Hanoi program could be the basis for negotiations and that the five Point Elf program is not an obstacle to negotiations. The implication is that the Elf Points Are inferior in importance. This distinction has not been drawn before the Hanoi watchers say. Thus they figure Hanoi so much wants to end the bombing and perhaps to find a Way to negotiations that the North feels the Elf must stand aside at least at this moment. While or. Trinh repeated in the Burchett interview that the Elf is the Only genuine representative of the people of South Viet he omitted the usually Standard phrase that the Elf must be so recognized by the United states. The Hanoi watchers Here link the Trinh interview with that Given last dec. 30 by North vietnamese pre Mier Pham Van Dong to Harrison Salibury of the new York times to Hanoi s admission of or. Salisbury to the North to North Vietnam s Mai Van to s interview in Paris Jan. 5 and to the report in the new statesman in London earlier this month of an interview by Gloria Stewart with Nguyen Van foreign minister of the Elf. The Trinh remarks go beyond those of or. Pham and or. To. Miss Stewart quoted or. Hieu As saying that the Elf was willing to begin preliminary talks directly with it is Felt Here the report has some authenticity despite a subsequent denial by radio liberation the Clandestine voice of the Viet Cong that any such interview took place. Two meetings sources say she did in fact meet twice with an Elf official once in the Delta and a second time Over a in a Saigon hotel. But it May have been someone less Well known to Saigon police. It is guessed that the interview was repudiated because she made it sound too specific. What All this adds up to the Hanoi watchers say is an increasingly specific series of signals quite pos Sibly indicating a serious intent by North Vietnam to initiate dialogue on How to get negotiations started rather than a bid for negotiations themselves. Officials said monday they do not yet know what Washington is prepared to do if anything by Way of giving Hanoi a return signal either publicly or privately. My the data has of course College the head master of College St. Catharines Ontario expects to be in Winnipeg on 14-15 March 1967 at that time he would be interested in meeting parents who Are interested in the possibility of their son s attending . I such parents Are requested to write at once for an appointment to e. V. B. Pilgrim m.a., head master i College St. Catharines Ontario been passed to Washington for the president and Secre tary of state. Dean Rusk. These increasingly louder beeps from Hanoi if the experts Here Are Correct in Reading the signals Are linked to two other factors the state of the War including the bombing of the North plus the convulsion inside China. That the South Viet namese agree was evident monday from an exclusive interview with foreign min ister Tran Van do. He said the prospects for peace Are much brighter than a few months ago because of the successful military c pain in the South plus bombing of the North which he said is causing military and economic troubles there. Hanoi afraid or. Do also said he Felt Hanoi is apprehensive about what is going on in China. He said he had just received a report that the official North vietnamese Calendar has for the first time omitted the name of Mao tse Tung but this could not be confirmed elsewhere. At any rate americans agree that the North Viet namese troops and their Viet Cong allies Are suffer ing under american Pound ing. The common Saigon phrase is that they Are hurting in the South and from the bombing in the North. As to the effect of the chinese convulsion on Hanoi it was noted Here that peking radio on sunday reported that anti Mao forces had thrown China s National railway system into chaos and Hanoi depends to a considerable degree on supplies from China Over two rail lines which Amer ican planes have repeatedly bombed. Officials also relate the signals from Hanoi to the coming truce in the ground fighting and the pause in bombing of the North during the lunar new year Holiday called tet. They think Hanoi is trying Ery hard to get the United states to continue the bombing Lull after the tet very hard to get the United states and South Vietnam have agreed to an Elf proposal for a four Day Lull beginning at 7 . Feb. S but the Elf says it will continue the ceasefire for a total of seven Days. It appears Likely from Here though there is As yet no confirmation that the allies will observe the full seven Days provided there Are no serious Viet Cong attacks. That is Likely to a seven Day bombing Lull. However there is no sign that anything Hanoi has yet said is sufficient to Lead the United states to go beyond the seven Days. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge has said that the Viet Cong must end their terror ism in the South to earn a ceasefire and there is no sign yet of that. Out from Here it appears that the next move is up to Washington. And Saigon officials mindful of the sen ate foreign relations com Mittee hearings of sen. Kennedy s remarks and of what United nations Secretary general u Thant and others have been saying show a High degree of uncertainty As to what everyone soon or late comes round by president Johnson will de cide to do. Foreign minister do Mon Day expressed Confidence in the United states in this fashion we have no apprehension at All about negotiations. We agreed at the Manila con Ference on terms. America cannot fool her allies by making a separate peace even if americans have private 4kosygin dangles in fire continued the Battle against external revisionists continued on a Esser scale outside the Yugo Lav embassy where Demon tractors protesting the smashing of a display Case containing chairman Mao s portrait in Belgrade plastered embassy Walls and Gate with anti revisionist and anti Tito slogans a car belonging to a yugoslav Diplomat who lives in the same apartment building As we do in he usually tranquil suburb o Sanlitan was plastered will slogans in English chinese an russian denouncing Tito am those judged by peking to have strayed from the True path of marxism leninism. Marching groups periodically during the Day Ong columns of marchers paraded through our area on their Way to the yugoslav embassy Belgrade s charge d affaires expects to Lodge a protest with the foreign ministry about cars being plastered with slogans. The Battle against internal revisionists continues As intensely As Ever. It. Now appears Likely that the events in Sinkiang reported As vividly As usual in Wall posters will develop into a great Victory for the forces supporting chairman Mao and that the Region bordering on soviet Union will become a great example for the armed forces and other revolutionaries in the country to emulate. 1967 found off .
