CHRISTMAS TRUCE
(N.Z P.A -Reuter—Copyright) MIAMI BEACH (Florida), December 9. The general assembly of the National Council of Churches today called for the Christmas truce in Vietnam to be extended long enough to test the possibilities of negotiation. It added that the cease-fire should be of sufficient duration to serve as a cooling-off period. The resolution approved by the policy-making body of the nation’s largest inter-denomi-national organisation of Protestant and Orthodox churches, echoes a similar piea by Pope Paul.
It voiced the hope that “such an extension will contribute to a climate in which the possibilities of negotiation may be nourished and the extended cease-fire thus further justified.”
