Atrocities In Vietnam
Sir, —The wav in which Mr McCready, M.P., bases his conclusions on observation of the “atrocities” of only one side is to be deplored. French reports give a fuller picture than our news service alone—e.g.. except from report of Michel Vincent of March 15 air-attack on Hung Tien. North Vietnam: “. . . Mr Luong’s family took shelter. . . . Suddenly the father saw his cottage catch fire. He jumped out of his fox-hole to try to save his house. But just at that moment a bomb exploded. . . . Hearing his cry, his wife rushed to the scene with her six-month baby in her arms and her three-year-old . daughter following close behind. Then the aircraft swooped down and strafed them, killing the mother and both children. . . It is because thinking people deplore atrocities on both sides that some of them “demonstrate” against policies leading towards wider war.—Yours, etc.. MARK D. SADLER. April 27, 1965.
