Government Obligations
In Vietnam Crisis
Now that the United States Government has made it
clear that it is determined to achieve in Vietnam those
military ends which it believes are right and necessary,
Washington faces three moral and practical obligations.
The first of these is to explain more convincingly to the
American people and the world why Washington believes
this war must be fought and won. The second is to tell
the American people as fully and as frankly as is pos
sible what this war will demand of them. The third is
to win that war with the utmost speed consistent with
decency and common humanity.
Although we understand and sympathize with the
difficulties, both domestic and foreign, which President
Johnson faces over Vietnam, we do not believe that any
one of these three obligations are yet being met. Wash
ington’s explanation on American involvement in Vietnam
have left far too many Americans (to say nothing of the
rest of the world) confused, doubtful and in many cases
even indignant. Washington has deliberately refrained
from telling the American people what the White House
and the Pentagon well know: the cost of victory will be
high, the road to victory hard and probably long. Finally,
the present American build-up of troops, bases and ma
terial in Vietnam may not be adequate for even a long-
drawn-out effort at victory to say nothing of a swift and
decisive effort to end the conflict.
At any time, anywhere, and under any circumstance
war is a heart-rending human tragedy. But once a war is
begun, the wisest and most merciful procedure is to win
that war as quickly as is consistent with every humane
consideration left the warrior.
Nor will anything be gained by failing to be utterly
frank with the American people. If Vietnam is to require
larger armed forces, a call-up of reserve units, new mili
tary appropriations, the sooner and more fully the Amer
ican people are told of this the better. At present, this
news is coming out in dribs and drabs, in hints, in “leaked”
stories and in other roundabout ways. It is little wonder
that the American people seem uncertain and confused
about what is going on.
We believe that the American aims of preserving
South Vietnam’s independence, of halting outside aggres
sion and of seeking a negotiated peace with honor and
justice are right. But we also believe that these may well
require greater sacrifices than Washington has yet ad
mitted. It is high time that the White House made this
plain.—By The Christian Science Monitor.

Editor,
The Battalion:
How well I recall that very first
day
We came to A&M; six weeks to
stay.
Our College View apartment look
ed a little bare,
Found dust and dirt just every
where.
As we began cleaning up a bit,
I’d forgotten a few essentials —
mop? Even it!
Had a week-end’s washing for
our family of seven,
No soap or clothes pins! Off to
seven-eleven!
Finally registered, we began to
explore
To learn about A&M with its
Cadet Corps.
While Dad’s in class, here’s a
verbal view
Of things a Mom and five child
ren found to do.
Picnicking in Hensel Park we
found plenty of shade,
Sat and talked while the children
played.
Long ago planners had fore-sight
indeed
Secured land for A&M's every
need!
In the academic building there’s
a replica of the Liberty Bell
If these buildings could talk think
of the history they’d tell!
Students mill about waiting for
the next class
Hoping on test day they’re going
to pass.
Drove out through part of the
farm,
Seems a busy place, especially
the barn.

By TEX EASLEY
Associated Press Regional Service
WASHINGTON — Rep. Henry
Gonzalez, D-Tex., says the 1968
Hemisfair in San Antonio would
provide an ideal occasion to honor
Mexicans who have immigated to
this country.
He observed that a drive to
establish a suitable memorial on
Ellis Island to Europeans who
entered the United States through
New York City is in progress.
He said similar recognition is due
immigrants from Mexico and has
thus come up with the idea of
linking the memorial project with
the international exhibition.
In a House speech, Gonzalez
observed he has introduced a bill
to provide for federal participa
tion in the Hemisfair, then added:
“Possibly, the U.S. pavilion
may be built so that it can serve
the dual purpose of the Federal
Hemisfair exhibit and the immi
gration monument. If it is deter
mined that additional legislation
is needed, I will introduce it.”
The son of political refugees
who fled to San Antonio in 1911
when revolution was sweeping
northern Mexico, Gonzalez plac
ed in the Congressional Record
statistics showing that about 1,-
314,000 Mexicans have immigrat
ed to the United States since
Texas joined the Union.
The figures include those who
have crossed not only into Texas,
but into other border states; they
do not count the braceros —
Mexican farm hands who enter
only on a temporary basis. The
data was based on official census
by decades since 1850, and an
nually from 1960 through 1964.
The current rate of immigra
tion from Mexico, based on the
1961-64 figures, is at an all-time
high. The lowest rate in this
century occurred in the Great
Depression of the ’30s.

up a tree:
Puffy has a problem.
She’s much better at
climbing trees than she is
at getting down again.
Usually someone has to get
a ladder and bring poor
Puffy back to earth.
People share Puffy’s
problem. Their fears are
forever driving them to
do what they can’t undo.
They run away from real
ity only to wish they
hadn’t. We have even
coined the idiom “up a
tree” to denote the di
lemma of a situation from
which we cannot free our
selves.
With people, it takes
more than a ladder to
solve the problem.
Through the centuries
men have found Faith an
answer to fear. Our
churches cultivate coura
geous Christians. For with
confidence in God comes
confidence in ourselves.
