Can1iam Christian science Monitor news service an election year is a very bad time to try to make peace in the world. Statesmanship and politics get mixed up together As they do at any time but it s worse on leap years. The h. It. Haldeman state ment on television virtually accusing the president s political opponents of treason is an example of the most ill advised kind of politics. On balance it has seriously Boom ranged. And yet of course political dissent Over Vietnam which is almost unavoidable in an elec Tion year does tend to make negotiation difficult. There is Validity in the idea that the government is trying to win its War partly in the forum if . Public opinion. But the Point is not Basic. The War is really being decided n Vietnam. The Issue remains starkly who will control South Vietnam. The communists have not conceded the slightest bit on this Point. The United states has made modest concessions. Tho Issue is not really tha Thieu regime but any non communist regime. American Public opinion is confused some what on the matter. The . Government seems to be de fending to the last ditch a particular regime which has its grave weaknesses. Were the Thieu regime More admirable More representative it would be a q u a Hanoi. What they want is either a push Over or a United front regime they could infiltrate and sooner or later take Over. Actions during this period. Sur Vival withdrawal stalemate All ought to help president Nixon. The broader issues which president Nixon presented to the nation in his state of the world message Are also difficult to handle in the midst of a Campaign. The advantages Are All with the president and he must expect flak As he does As an experienced Politi Cian. His chinese trip will be criticized his russian negotiations will be masterminded by his opponents. Everything he does must stand the onslaughts of campaigning. That is an inconvenient Way to conduct International Diplo Macy but there is no alternative in a democracy. President Nixon is particularly handicapped by the Adverse majorities in Congress although he has adroitly undercut them by adopting several policies which were More Democrat than Republican. Policies inuit stand the tempering and refining process of party warfare. It is difficult it is time consuming it is an adversary proceed ing but in the end it can Duce strength. It is Uncertain whether world politics or the . Economy will be the ultimately Issue of 1972.1 would bet on the Domestic Economy. If there reduced unemployment Boom ing business relatively mild inflation the president s prospects Are Good. Many times in . History a Boom or a slump in an election year has been decisive. But this cannot be i i forced from the state of the world. Nixon has Ichlen his terrain skilfully. As or. Singer said a serious debate about National purposes would very desirable. But such a debate can be hot.

The Council has also submit Ted requests to the department of health and social develop the president s political opponents in the United states will make the most they can of Vietnam during the Campaign. They have the right to do so even though their position helps Hanoi. The voters will decide. And a lot is Likely to happen in Indochina Between now and no vember. There May be military reverses and political coups in All three states Vietnam Cam Bodia Laos. If there is collapse and rout the consequences in . Politics might be decisive even of somewhat unpredictable. Would american voters say president Nixon did the Best he could. And at least he with Drew american would they say this is what would have happened sooner if the president s critics had had their or would they say president Nixon is the first american chief executive to lose a War. It is his or would they accept any of sever Al other lurid hypotheses it is equally possible that the Thieu government May survive More .
