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.

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 . '

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.
