Tran Van Dinh Speaks On Viet Nam
. by Charlotte Hancock
“I do not see how we who claim
to be free are to be defeated in
this war...There is need only for
us to understand the seriousness of
tills situation andi to strive lor its
remedy and we will at last find
, the solution.” These were tile words
of Tran Van Dinh, Vietnamese jour-
nalist and diplomat, Thursday even-
ing, October 29, when he spoke to
* the Sc&rtfrwestern community about
the war and unrest in Southeast Asia.
Throughout his stay on campus,
Thursday, —• made possible by the
Union Forum Committee — Mr. Van
^Dinh emphasized this need for an
understanding of toe Viet Nam sit-
uation and the desire to do some-
%
thing about it needed on the part
cf Americans and Vietnamese alike.
In his lecture, Thursday at 7:30
p.m. in the Union Main Lounge, Mr.
Van Dinh related the role of the
United States in meeting toe needs
of toe Viet Nam problem. He out-
lined — using individual examples—
the three attitudes of American peo-
ple toward the U.S. role in the war.
He said that these attitudes are un-
certainty, tragedy, and skepticism^
Then by using an analogy of fishes
and water, Mr. Van Dinh described
the state of affairs in Viet Nam.
He said thalt toe people of Viet Nam
are toe fishes about to be choked in
the merky waiter of Communistic
suppression. The problem now fac-
ing the free world is to keep the
“water clear for the fishes.”
To solve this problem, the Viet-
Cohg method of attack must be re-
sisted and destroyed and the loyalty
and determination of the people
must be won.
The loyalty of toe people can be
won by assuring them of physical
security, mental security, and sc
eiai justice. Van Dinh stated that
certainly the U. S. had a prominent
role in the Southeast Asia struggle,
since that area must not fall into
toe hands of toe Communists and
Chinese. He said! that the very fact
that there are over 16,000 U.S. sol-
diers fighting—and many dying —

in Viet Nam should stir concern on
the part of each American.
Van Dinh said that toe U.S. has
three alternatives toward Southeast
Asia. They can get out and take
away toe free world power and hu-
manitarian influence needed to
thwart toe communists. They can
carry the war into North Viet Nam
— a move that may be inevitable
yet it would1 involve the loss of many
lives. Another move would be to
negotiate with the Communists. In
regard to this, Van Dinh agreed
With Secretary cf State Dean Rusk'
who said “To negotiate today is to
surrender. ”
Van Dinh urged a continuing sup-
port of the present U. S. policy to
defend and rebuild to© Viet-Namese
government.
Van Dinh answered questions con-
cerning U.S.—Southeast Asian pro-
blems during a question-answer per-
iod following his lecture, and1 later
cn at a reception in the faculty
lounge.
