Where, from here? From here on
we won't find South Vietnam head–
lining the world news. The world
-,ews center will shift now to the
Middle East and to Europa. Events
will happen that will cause Westem
Europe to unite politically - and
militarily. There will comparatively
soon rise
a
third giant power in the
world, perhaps éven stronger than
either the United States or the
U.S .S .R. lt will turn its attention to
the Middle East. And these events
will bring to a suprema crisis tha
wholeworld' s political situation, long
before the communist push south–
ward in Southeast Asia achieves its
goal of conquering all the world
ex–
cept
the United States. The whole
world's trouble
will
be over before
they get around to their
final
goal of
conquering the United States. The
Russian Bear moves too slowly. The
European lion will movemuch lastar. '
Whyhas the United States failed to
win its 'test two wars - Korea and
South Vietnam? To understand, you
need our free booklet,
The United
States and British Commonwealth in
Prophacy.
You need to know where
these two powers are mentioned in
bíblica! prophecy.
In Britain there will be a national
referendum on the U. K.'
s
ties with
the European "Common Market" on
June 5 . Don't be surpr<sed if Britain
goes out of the European Economic
group. And if not on June' 5 , then
later.
To really understand much of
today's naws and world conditions,

one needs to know where these pow–
ers are referred to in the Bible.
Toexplain whythe United States is
not winning wars anymore, one
needs to understand the prophecies
of
~viticus
26 and Deuteronomy 28 .
Because of the national sins of the
U.S. and Britain, God is quoted as
saying.
"1
will break the pride of your
power"
(Lev.
26: 19) and " your
strength shall bespent in vain" (verse
20); again, "strangers [other na–
tions] havo devoured his s t rength,
and he knoweth it not. "
The United States has had the
POWERI The United States had the
power' to win the Korean war but had
lost the PAlDE in that power and had
become afraid to use it. The United
S tates had the POWEA to havewon the
war in South Vietnam, but tho PRIDE
in that power had been broken and
the leaders at Washington (IN BOTH
PARTIES) were afraid to use itl
The Vietnam war sapped United
S tates strength to the tune of 56.000
lives and 8170 billion.

SALZBURG:
Tbe Corees of President Thieu fteeing before thc armies of Hanoi, thc
assassination of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, and Hcnry Kissinger's failutc to
bring peacc to the Middle Ea.st - these
s~gly
unrelatcd evcnts portend
g.reater trouble for Óut
aD
too
troublcd world and placean even g¡eater strain on
the a.lrcady too delicate fabri<: of out world order. Nevenheless, these events
are
relatcd
in
one significant &Jid líttle empbasizcd
sensc.
They prove onc::e again that
man, placing his faith in man alone, whether be be presiden
t.
k.ing or secretAty of
state cannot bring about a peac::eable world.
!sraeli Prime Minister Rabin, on Dr. Kissinger's departure from Israel at tbe
end of the fruitless talks, stressed that the Sec:relary of State had done more than
one human being could ever be expectcd to do in bis singular effort to bring
about a negotiatcd settlement in the volatile Middle Easl Dr. Kissinger re–
sponded tha t tbe breakdown was a sad day for A.meric:a wbicb had invcsted so
mucb bope and fa.ith in these etrorts.
Let us not forgct that Dr. Kissinger
was
truly worldng for peace - not for
personal aggrandi.zement or more power or increascd prestige as bis critics aod
detrac:tors oflen conteod. Sorne of these same people, by the way, did the most to
build up Mr. Kissinger's image as
a
supennan or
a
magician or a Captain
Marvel.
Y
et in the
final
analysis the problems in the Middle Ea.st were beyond the
power of one man to bandle regardless of
bis
appq>acb, wbether througb the
personal "1tep-by-step" method or by the prac:tice ofmore traditionaJ diplomacy.
Witb thc Middle Ea.st "1buttle diplomacy" now a mauer
of
bistory tbe whole
world awaits the·rec:onvenillg of tbe Conferen<i ofGe.,eva wbere' the parlieS'VI'ill
renew their efforts for a peac::eful solutloñ to the Middle Ea.st protilem that
1\as
1
been with us since the end ofWorld War
II.
Meanwhile, it is intcresting to note
that President Sadat has just given tangible proof of
bis
moderation by announc-–
ing the reopening of the Suez Canal in about a month - albeit the
canal
wiU still
be c:losed to Israelí sbips.
.Perhaps
this
annoUDc::ement by President Sadat
is
relatcd direc:tly to the
assassination of King Faisal wbo more than any other
person
dodlinated tbe
politics of the Arab world and who c::ena.inly would have been opposed to any
separate peaceful negotiations betwceo Egypt and Israel wbich could bave led 'to
a breakdown in
lb
e Atab unity whicb be bad striven
so
migbtily to bring about.
Now that an assassin's bullet has removed Faisal from the world scene, wbat
will
be
the result? Only tin)e
will
teU but cena.inly the already
too
tense,
too
radic:aJi.zed,
too

will
be
exposcd
to the danger of fwther cx-
~eaúnn.
.
At the opposite end of Nia, tbe South Vietnamese anny now
ftees
in total
disarray before the onslaught of the Nonh Vielllamese and Viet Cong. Tbe
Saigon govemment apparently relied beavily on moral obligations thtlt Dr.
Kissinger made to them at tJte time or the 1973 Paris accords. That treaty
allowcd tbe No.rtb Vietnamese forces to remain in place in the south and
requircd withdrawal of U.S. forc::es, but perlnittcd thc Unitcd States to cootinue
suj>plying eoonomic and militAty a.id to Sa.igon. Now the U.S. Cong.ress is
resisting
President _Ford's and Secretary Kissinger's efforts to increase both
military and economic aid in accordanc::e with the promises of two years ago.
Kissinger has
sin
ce stated that he would not ha
.)le
extended bis prooiiscd aid had
he
lr.nown that Congress would not back
bim
4P· He
made it plain that there is
a
dilferenc::e between out being involved in Vietnam originally and our standing by
our word to our allies.
Wbere do we go from bere in out elfons for world peac::e? Certainly in tbe
sbort run, the eotire foreigo policy of the Unitcd States is up for reassessment.
But in the long-range aoalysis it is obvious that man caonot rely on
bimself
alone
in
bis
quest for peac::e. Man's attitude toward bis fellow
man
and toward Ood
must
cbang~ -
and UDtil it does things
will
contin(le to get worsc. We may be
confrontcd with more than the
lO$$
ofthe "American dream," the dream we have
seen disappearing before our eyes. Man is now capable of utterly destroying
himself.
8ut as Mr. Herben Armstrong has proclaimcd throughout f!le world in bis
personal appearanc::es, the o&tioO$
will
oot be pennittcd to wipe' out
all
human
life because a supernatutal
power
wiD
intervene and save man from himself –
aod the law of God whicb
is
the law of !ove (!ove toward Ood an.d love toward
man)
will
be establishcd oo tbis earth. That is mao's only bope.
