PROLONGING TFTE WAR
Last month’s “peace” dem
onstration will, among other
things, provide propaganda for
the ( ommunists in North Viet
Nam. Reports and photos of
such rallies will serve as “proof
” that the majority of Americ
ans don't want to fight the
Reds.
Such “evidence” is contrived
to convince our enemy that it
should continue fighting: After
all, it will only he a matter of
time if the V. S. population is
dead set against winning the
war.
Rut it isn’t necessary to hi
propagandized in such manner
in order to wonder if the 1 T . S.
really 1>(>KS want victory in
Viet Nam. The way we are
fighting the war itself moves
one to wonder.
The editor of The Fort Lau
derdale News, Jack Gore, ad
dressed himself to this subject
over the Manion Forum radio
program. Said he:
"Senator Stuart Symington
of Missouri recently charged
that it would he far better for
our country to terminate hos
tilities in Vietnam than to con
tinue the war under current
Pentagon regulations. He quot
ed from a number of letters
he had received from our fight
ing men.
“One pilot, for instance wrote
of flying over an air base in
North Vietnam where dozens
of enemy jet fighters were
strung out over the runways.
These planes could have been
quickly and easily destroyed,
but our pilots are under re
strictions not to attack enemy
faster and more maneuverable
than our craft, our pilots are
at a disadvantage.
“Other pilots have pointed
out additional restrictions to
the Senator. Every day these
pilots see vast quantities of
weapons and supplies being un
loaded from Russian ships in
the harbor of Haiphong, des
tined for use against our forces.
“But these weapons and sup-
plies cannot be destroyed at
their source. Our men must
wait until the ships are un
loaded, the weapons and sup
plies on t-ucks, and then, once
the trucks have cleared the
restricted area, we can go af
ter them on a piecemeal basis.
“We’ve now had over 5,000
of our fighting men killed in
Vietnam, and still we refrain
from knocking out our enemy’s
ability to keep on killing.
“There is no such thing as a
merciful kind of war. War has
always bet n a helish and a
dirty business and we don’t
make it any less so by stretch
ing it out over a longer period
because we don’t want to em
ploy sufficient force to bring
it to a military, rather than a
polital victory?

Bootstraps and Boundaries
Expansion of government at
the federal level has placed a
clear and compelling challenge
at the feet of the states. We
must answer a basic question:
How can we best use congress-
ionally-passed aid programs
without jeopardizing the sig
nificance of the state in our
system of government?
An exciting approach to this
problem is the new Coastal
Plains Development program
which we are beginning to im
plement in South Carolina. The
program involves 159 counties
in three states—South Caroli
na, North Carolina and Geor
gia. Plans are underway to
measure the economic poten
tial of this geographical area,
and to reach that potential
through a massive effort of
coordination.
The Coastal Plains project
is basically a “bootstrap” op
eration which crosses “bound
aries” by virtue of regional ac
tion. What we hope to accom
plish is a substantial increase
in per capita income for the
affected counties. Economic
experts cell us that success in
the coastal regions of our sis
ter states will spill over into
our state. At the same time,
economic development of one
portion of a state enriches the
economy of all other sections.
This prospect is particularly
exciting because more than half
of the counties in South Caro
lina have been put into the
During his senior year at
King, Mr. King was president
of his residence hall, a member
of the Honor Court, and was
one of the five seniors chosen
to represent the college in the
current issue of “Who’s Who
Among Students in American
Colleges and Universities”. He
has majored in history, and
plans to enter Union Theolog
ical Seminary in Richmond in
the fall. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. T. King of 1220

program.
Control of the program is
largely in local hands, and the
burden of initiatiave is square
ly up to the states. Each local
community can benefit from
the various studies that will be
made, according to the initia
tive shown.
We believe that the new
Coastal Plains program is go
ing to aid many people in many
ways. The seafood industry,
shipping, coastal agriculture,
and travel-oriented industries
promise rich rewards. In ad
dition, we have an opportunity
to prove that with a little
help our capacity for growth
and better government can be
developed by “local people.”
