European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 5, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                              Page 4 the stabs and stripes Protey april a 1968  kor min Parley lasted to i years even if talks Start Snail s Pace is Likely my an a news analysis by William l. Kyan North Vietnam s offer to meet american representatives is carefully worded and qualified by a big  but it could be the beginning of a dialogue signal ing changes in the Overall War  s voice remained Bellig Erent. It pledged itself anew tothe liberation of South Viet Nam the defeat of the Ameri cans and the elimination of what it Calls Saigon s  it was not an offer to Taj peace. The North vietnamese offered Only to meet with  to talk about circumstances which might Lea to peace negotiations. The Cen trial demand once again was unconditional cessation of the bombing and All other acts of War against North Vietnam. It is not Clear whether Hanoi extends the acts of War de Mand to cover its own forces Orthe Viet Cong South of the de militarized  it was apparently a step toward discussion. President Johnson started it with his an look it can be a Jolt to South Vietnam s leaders who already have sustained a series of shocks. The first was the tet offensive. The next was the  s announcement that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself and his Decla ration of the bombing  and some Ameri cans chose to regard the tet offensive As communist desperation and assess it As a failure despite the havoc it wrought in the South. Nou Cement of a partial cutback in the bombing of the North. Hanoi gave a More direct response than in the past. From Here on however Prog Ress can be agonizingly slow As it was in the Case of Korea inthe 1950s. That War finally ended but the machinery had moved at an elephantine Pace for two years while men died bythe tens of thousands. A presidential election Campaign in the United states was a key Factor at the time of Korea As it appears to be now. Like Vietnam the korean warhead aroused feelings of frustration and impatience among americans. The War had be come a hot presidential Campaign Issue As is today s War. But in the Case of Korea United nations machinery was available. The proposal for cease fire first was raised there by the russians two full year before the armistice finally  fighting was at its fiercest in the fall of 1952, when the re publican candidate Dwight d. Eisenhower promised that if elected he would go to Korea and seek peace. He did so a president elect. His trip was a Factor in achieving an armis Tice in 1953. President Johnson too made u gesture in the form of a Token de escalation an waited for a response. The communist Side chose to portray his As a sign of . Futility of american defeat. But Hanoi did respond and with a prompt Ness which could suggest North Vietnam was hurting badly from a generation of War. If Hanoi really intends to talk it will probably need firm sup port from the soviet Union to protect it from the anger of red China which spurns anything approaching negotiations wit the americans. Small As such a Start May there is some ground for the desperation theory since clearly the communists had suffered grievously from their losses and from bombing in the  losses could explain Why the North vietnamese Encl cling the . Marines at Khe Sanh did not launch an Offen Sive and Why the americans now can mount an operation seeking to relieve Khe Sanh. But if there is desperation inthe North there seems plenty for Saigon to worry about. Will a peace candidate inclined. _ Sill out of Vietnam win the 1968,s. Election does the Johnson de escalation gesture mean he eventually will offer More concessions in the search for peace the Saigon mood seems re fleeced among some of its Lead ers. Now some of them say that the americans Are in Vietnam simply to protect . Interests. They suggest probably Toolate that the americans Over americanized the War and vow to build up South Viet namese forces to take a More effective part. They Promise also belatedly to crack Dowson incompetents and thieves and even suggest the americans May Troon be Able to withdraw some  the Case of Korea the communists recognized that the had realized just about All they could Hope for from a blood Gamble. Perhaps Hanoi is thinking in similar terms. Ammo looking like a Bug eyed monster a helicopter spits out artillery ammunition near the Marine fortress of Khe Sanh. The troops unloading ammo Are part of a drive intended to relieve the red menaced South Vietnam fortress.
