this is written in Tokyo, it ap–

pears that Saigon could fall

to the North Vietnamese com–

munist torces within a mat–

ter

ot

a few weeks. Already Hanoi

is in control of more than two

thirds of South Vietnam. Only a

comparatively small area surround·

ing the southern capital, Saigon. re–

maons . And Cambodia has now

tallen to the communists. The

United States has closed its em–

bassy and airlifted most or all

ot

its

parsonnel out

ot

Cambodia.

But what is the real significance of

this? What does it mean for the im–

mediate future? Why should there

have been all this bloodshed, this

killing of multiple thousands of 3ol–

What does it all mean to the

United States and to the world?

Among presidents. kings. primo

ministers and other world leaders

portfolio for WORLO PEACE has been

President Thieu of South Vietnam.

1

have met and spoken before most of

the leaders in government, educa·

tion, industry and business lite in

South Vietnam. A major campaign

to bring the message for wORLO

PEACE had been planned a year ago

tor Saigon. From

10.000

to

50,000

people were exeected at outdoor ser–

voces in the Onoverso!Y Sta<ll1lm. But

war developments made it too dan–

gorous to assemble so largo a crowd

in one place. Now, unless held un–

der North Vietnam·s auspices. no

such campaign can ever be held.

However.

did have opportunity

to spaak before nearly a hundred of

the leaders - and at least the mes–

saga of PEACE reached those at the

top on that wer-tom country.

But, as communist torces closed

in on Saigon.

could not but think

ot

those

had cometo know personally

in Saigon and to wonder what will

now happen to them. What will hap–

pen to President Thieu? Will he be

taken and executed? Will he escape

in exile? Of course he is viewed by

the other side of this war as the chief

vlllain, justas Hanoi's chief leaders

have been viewed in South Vietnam.

Yet 1 saw him as a human being of

more than average ability - just as

thought of the minister of educa–

tion. who showed great interest

when

1

described to him the two

opposite ways or philosophies of lile

- one of which is the root CAUSE of

all mankind's troubles and evils.

As

1

wes writing this Personal. my

thoughts went to Senator Paulone

and her husband. whom

1

have vis–

itad in their lovely home. He is a

college professor and former cabinet

member. and she was a senator in

the nation·s lawmaking body. 8oth

are active. energetic workers for

what she believes. What will happen

to their beautiful home? To their

children? Will they be taken and ex–

ecuted, or escape to live in exile?

These are human beings who have

been friendly tome.

Why does the ugliness of war

have to lay its hurt on them?

Why?

Let me now view this situation

which has cost America such

enormous sacrifices in multiple

thousands of human lives and mul–

tiple billions of dollars - where it is

leading - what probably will now

happen in Southeast Asia,

as

well as

in the Middle East.

Then let me show you what bibli–

cel prophecy says about it and what

happen.

And. finally. let me ex–

plain

why

lt has all happened and

how world peace

In the early days of United States

involvement in the Vietñam war.

there

was

much talk about the "do–

mino theory... That is. if communist

torces were allowed to take over

South Vietnam. then Cambodia .

Leos. Burma. Thailand, Malaysoa.

Singapore. and Indonesia would

topple next. Then Australia would

fall into oommunist hands. Perhaps

then India, and, ·r.nally Europe ' and

the United States.

The "domino theory" argument

was that it would be better for the

United States to make its stand

against communism at the North–

South Vietnam line than to allow all

Southeast Asia and then Europa to

fall into communist hands. and then

when the communists were so vastly

strengthened w i th possession of all

the rest of the world, we would have

to fight them on our own shore

So the United States involved it–

self - at tirst by sending war mat&–

rials, then sorne adv isory and

trainong personnel. then troops, in–

creasing in number until "Vietnami–

zation" allowed the U.S. to bring its

troops home.

But did United States panicipa–

tion STOP the communist movement

southward? lt did not: Why?

Because the United States had

lost all pride in its power. lts POWER

was the greatest in the world ,

closely followed by the U .S.S.R.

And Chona also possesses nuclear

power. Nuclear power could erase

all humanity from the earthl The

United States. and probably also

Russoa. has been

afraid

to challenge

any other nuclear power.

1t

could

leed to the OKtinction of the human

rece.

So the United States policy was to

wage a war it

must not win

for fear

of setting the whole world on fire in

a blaze of human extinction . As a

result. American torces careful ly

avoided bringing the wer to an end

with victory. lt was a kind of war in

which Americans were not experi–

enced. As former ambassador to

South Vietnam Ellsworth. Bunker

said to me it

wes

the first war fought

Volume XL No. 8

on

television. Finally America got

out of it. trusting the North Vietnam–

ese to stay home and not carry the

war on south. But of course they

didn'tstay home.

And now they are on their wey

knocking down the dominoes ahead

of them. Sources close to the top in

Thailand have assured me they do

not expect the communist thrust to

start a drive into their country. Bui

my hope and prayer is that

1

may be

allowed to hold the big campaign

planned for Bangkok

before

the ap–

proeching red offensive renders it

impossiblel

So where now? Will the commu–

nists stop alter they take over Cam–

bodia. South Vietnam and Leos?

They

Not if you understand

communism. and the communist

goal How far w ill they get. ulti–

mately? Well that depends

on

what

happens in the Middle East and in

Europa. For events there are going

to bring the whoÍe world into a su·

preme crisis

before

the comniunist

goal of conquering all in its path

down to Austrl\lia and beyond.

Meanwhile. the big news center

will be Jerusalem and the Middle
