By ARTHUR J. DOMMEN United Prtit Inttrnational SalRon - UPI) - Americans who are now deeply involved In South Viet Nam. are ac customed to thinking in terms of short, decisive wars. But the Vietnamese pcas ant. who has watched con tinuous troop movements and heard sporadic gunfire around his bamboo hut for the past 20 years, knows that ending the struggle between the pro- western government of South Viet Nam and the pro- Com munist Vict Cong guerrillas is a matter of years, not months, Viet Nam, once part of In- do-China in' the mighty French empire of Southeast Asia, is a violent land. The Vietnamese peasant knows that the Communist government of North Viet Nam sympathizes with the in lurgents fighting against the regime of South Vict Nam President Ngo Dinh Diem. He may be only dimly aware, if at all. that North Viet Nam secretly directs and supports the guerrilla fighters in the south. The struggle has more the semblance of an insurrection than an invasion, in any case, And the North Vict Nam gov ernment in Hanoi is careful to keep it. that way. . . Violont by Night Today, as eight years ago In the fight against the French the black-clothed peasant in his ricefield is peaceable by day but often' ' violent by night. And, again as in the .Indo-China war, It is the pea sant who forms the raw ma terial of the struggle, and Is its chief victim. He has thrown In his lot' with neither the Diem gov ernment, nor the shadow ad ministration established in his I village by the Vict Cong. His lack of uniform and insignia permits him to be a soldier without commitment. He can play one side against the nth er, or both against the middle, in order to save himself and his family- from destruction. The Vietnamese peasant, thus caught In the middle, may be disillusioned with Diem's promises of land re fbrm, or the actions of the gov ernment - appointed district chief. i His support for the guer rillas may consist only of a discreet tlpoff to the local Viet Cong about government troop movements. " May Food Agonti On the other hand, he may have lost a relative in a gov ernment "mopping up opera tion," and may feed, clothe and hide Vict Cong agents in his house. More often, the Vict Cong holds- some compelling element of blackmail over his head which forces him to col laborate with them. This is the kind of soldier on which the clandestine po litical coordinating body' of the insurrection depends. The national liberation front, formed In December, I960 has no leading figure of any wide international reputation. It is unified by common op position to President Diem. . Its leaders are not tongue tied functionaries of North Viet Nam -because the Viet Minn learned during the long fight against the French that success in guerrilla warfare depends on an unshakable popular support. The insurrec tion must take root among, and stem from, the local in habitants. Maka Own Guns This is why, eight years af ter France's defeat at Dicn Bien Phu, Vietnamese insur gents are still fabricating crude rifles and pistols from scrap iron in the swamps and jungles of the Mekong Delta. This correspondent inspedted a variety of such weapons, the best that crude materials ana tools could produce. But each was a far cry, indeed, from American or French firearms that North Vict Nam could furnish by the truck load. In their propaganda sheets distributed in South Vietnam ese villages, the insurgents avoid the use of Communist jargon, far too complicated and remote for the average peasant to understand. Instead they stress two major themes comprehensible to every one liberation and unity. It is liberation from the tyranny of Diem's palace po lice and his sometimes corrupt henchmen in the rural areas. It is liberation, above all, from the Americans who they say are unlawfully occupying the land of the Vietnamese people, just as the French did before the Japanese war. Unity of People , It is the nnitv at the com mon people against the so called American-Diem collab orators, the unity of the un sHuratfH trtaftsps in the face of the privileged few of Sai gon. . The idea that the struggle iffninst rilpm must, he a ions drawnout one, and the people must wage It in the face of terrible difficulties, is well illustrated in a captured doc ument made available to this correspondent by an Ameri can source. It is a progress re port on winning the support of a particular village in the Mekong Delta. 'In thi Kimnlpst terms, the party's political line must be based on the needs and lnler- paln nn'rl riohla nf the DCClDlo." the report said. "These are concrete and plain to see, un thno nnprin and Interests we mi, t hnilri. educating the DCO pic,, mobilizing them to rise and join the revolution.1 There is a big difference between merely obtaining a man's passive acceptance and winning over his loyalty so he is ready to risk death against the well-armed soldiers of Diem's army, tho report states; and tho Vict Cong can never claim success until the masses are fully mobilized in their political outlook.

John W Horner, Executor Donald K Hemnau Attorney for txecutor At the verv hceinnlmr nf the Viet Cong cadres' political work among the villagers, they found that they had to forge weapons and lay booby traps by themselves. Later, after months of patient indoc trination, the local inhabitants helped them. This is how it is told: "The people thought that the laying of naily boards (metal or bamboo spikes set in marsh land to pierce the shoes and feet of army troops) was illegal and would result in terror and reprisals by the soldiers. "In light of this, the party members laid the nally boards themselves, while endeavor ing at the same time to edu cate the people. SoldUr Injured "The party laid more naily boards than ever. Once, dur ing a terror sweep, one of the government soldiers was in jured by a naily board. This caused the soldiers to with draw. Party members cor rectly regarded this as a suc cess and held a mass meeting at which it was explained that laying of naily boards had prevented the entry of the enemy. The cadres de clared that if the people did not lay naily boards the ene mies would come to collect land rents, levy; taxes, im pose corvee labor, and draft young men into the army. The nartv then introduced the slo gan: 'One naily board for each ricefield . ' According to the report, the LEGAL NOTICES TIMBER FOR SALE.

JOHN PATRICK COONFY Of Attorney for Plaintiff 1(10. K Main Medford, Oregon people were eventually con vinced to lay down naily boards themselves to keep the government troops out of their village. As a result, the army troops found the villagers less and less cooperative and, after several instances of get ting spikes through their feet, they left the village com pletely alone. Abandon Villaga The village, in effect; was abandoned to the Communists. By methods such as these, the Vict Cong village and dis trict officers enlist the sup port of the peasants, exploit ing their class, professions, and even Individual grievan ces. Because the Viet Cong live inside the villiges, they know each villager by name and they know his habits and what he is thinking. This Is why the harsh to-and-fro struggle for loyalty is comparable more to a cancer than to a frontal war which can be won by driving the enemy into the sea or across the 17th parallel into North Viet Nam. The enemy is with in, and South Viet Nam today is deeply afflicted with this cancerous infestation. Pressed by the success of American arms against their elusive but lightly equipped units, the Viet Cong face a choice. They can either make an all-out, win-or-die fight to overthrow the Diem govern ment, or else disappear, tem porarily at least, like fish into the murky depths of the sea of peasants and await a more favorable moment to reappear on the surface, as the anti French Viet Minh did in 1954. The latter seems likely. The cancerous infection can only be permanently eradicat ed by cutting its roots. The roots of the Vict Cong lie in peasant discontent, distrust and fear. As long as the Viet Cong can make use of the.old Viet Minh "mystique" which im pelled fifteen-year-old youths to fight French infantry and tanks with bamboo spears, then all the American assist ance in the world short of out right occupation of the coun try will not put down the rebellion. Where the expensive arms can make their mark in South Viet Nam is by giving the peasant the confidence to re fuse to help the Viet Cong in his village when they come to him. The answer Is not In the mud fort, barbed wire men tality (3.000 tons of barbed wire were strung at Dien Bien Phu). Nor is it in armed re pression alone, even by the best of modern methods. The answer lives in the relation ship between the peasant and the government.
