6-Month Pause In Raids Urged
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) LUBBOCK (Texas), April 10. Professor John Kenneth Galbraith has denounced United States policy in South-east Asia and called for a sixmonth moratorium on bombing North Vietnam.
Mr Galbraith, an economics professor at Harvard University and chairman of the Americans for Democratic Action, was speaking at Texas Tech University.
He said air attacks on the North had been ineffective in halting supply shipments and called the bombing a stumbling block to a peaceful solution to the war.
He urged a six-month bombing halt, and predicted that the moratorium would lead to a negotiated settlement of the war.' He also said that since parts of South Vietnam had been under Viet Cong control for a decade, the United States probably would have to accept a settlement leaving most of these areas under Communist domination.
Mr Galbraith blamed American involvement in South-east Asia on “classical second generation views of a world-wide Communist conspiracy.”
