WARNING ON WAR
Industrialist Has Fears (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WASHINGTON, July 13. An American industrialist, Mr Cyrus Eaton, told the United States Congress today that the United States was in a full-scale recession that would lead to a depression worse than the 1930 s unless the war in South-East Asia was ended. Mr Eaton said in his talks with Hanoi leaders that he was led to believe that they would regard 18 months as a reasonable period for United States troops to withdraw But, he said, he was convinced that President Nixon did not intend to stop the war. Sending troops into Cambodia “isn’t designed to end the war.’ That is to bring in other allies. . . . You don’t bring our boys home quicker by starting a new war in a r :w country.” The 86-year-old chairman of the board of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company said:
“When I was in Laos and Cambodia, I was shocked at the spending of United States dollars there. “Here we would call it btibery. Over there they call it efforts on behalf of democracy. We are just buying people by the thousands ito get people to adhere to i democracy.”
