President Needs Support
President Nixon’s decision to blockade Haiphong, and to
cut off war supplies coming into Vietnam to be used against
the South Vietnamese and Americans still in the country, has
met with a favorable response from most responsible people
in this country. And once again, it brings out the worst from
the one segment of our population from whom we should expect
the best.
It is sickening to see the lawless revolutionaries on college
campuses from the University of California, Stanford, Min­
nesota, Columbia and others using the president’s message as
an excuse to riot, throw rocks, break windows, steal and
plunder, and exhibit the immaturity and savagery that they
claim in the name of Peace.
Most of us have looked on the young people in college as the
future leaders of this country, but we are in real trouble if
those we see in the demonstrations on TV are representative
of the college students today.
They are the same long haired, unkempt, dirty clothed,
shiftless bunch that tore our campuses apart three years
ago. They look, act, and carry on much as their older brothers
did, with no respect for law, their fellow man, public or per­
sonal property, or individual decency.
Admittedly, they are only a small segment of the campus
population, but again they receive the headlines, the notoriety,
and the distaste of the majority of the people of this nation.
And because they are so utterly obnoxious and abhorent, we
lower ourselves to acknowledge that they exist, and unfor­
tunately, they do.
These are perilous times in the sense that our high of­
ficials have decisions to make that can affect the future of
this nation. We think that President Nixon is making his de­
cisions based on the best information that he has available.
All the president is trying to do, and what most of us want,
is to see that our prisoners of war are returned, that we can
get our remaining troops out of Vietnam safely, and that we
can leave the country strong enough to make their own de­
cisions as to their future destiny.
In the past three years the administration has steadily re­
duced our troop strength in Vietnam from 550,000 to less than
100,000. We are down to non-combatant people trying to phase
out our committments over there.
Suddenly the North Vietnamese make a massive all-out of­
fensive. And in our efforts to help halt it, and to help the South
Vietnamese people, the United States is termed the aggressor.
We can expect this from Russia, but surely we don’t deserve
it from our own people.
We all hate this Vietnam War. But after all these years it
would be pretty shabby on our part to walk away and let our
friends get kicked in the teeth.
This seems to me to be the time when we as Americans should
unite in a common cause and get this thing over with. Let’s sup­
port the president in an effort that should bring success.
This is an election year and during the course of the campaign
President Nixon’s actions will be debated pro and con by re­
sponsible candidates. If the majority of the American people
think he is wrong, we will have a new president next January.
In the meantime he needs everyone’s support in what surely
is a non-partisan effort for our national well-being.
There are many who hope we fail, but that kind of support
doesn’t have to come from our own people, and particularly from
our young people who have so much stake in our future.
