EMPEROR OF CHINA?
That pathetic puppet, Pu-Yi has died at age 61. In 1930 he
found refuge in Tientsin, having been ousted as Emperor of China
some years before by 'Sun Yat. Sen. When the Japanese floated
the League of Nations and man.ufa`ctured the Mukden incident,
prior to taking over Manchuria (Manchukuo as they renamed it)
poor Pu-Yi was spirited out of ' the safe refuge of Tientsin's.
.International Settlement "Indset up by the_ Japs as the Emperor
of Manchukuo. 13'0 he was a student, not an emperor and he aeon
dismayed his, masters and was later imprisoned for a decade.
I recall. the' atmosphere of Tientsin in 1930.41 and the sympathy
his kidnapping aroused. Latterly he worked as a gardener - we
could have used him in Gxierich!
VIETNAM
Some revealing comment by Henry Brandon, the distinguished
Washington correspondent of the 'Sunday Times' after a visit
to Vietnam:
The U.S. has never allowed itself to be locked into such a
�•_.4, confining cage! However much one talks to the best'informed, the
n contradictions, the uncertainties, the dilemmas, mount.
b
Throughout South Vietnam some 5,000 Minor engagements are
;occurring:: The'derei•t sed°-zone4DMZ))` is-not°"a" r mans land
as it shoud be, but is , infested with • 2 to 3 divisions of North
VN troops.
Q: Why, after 2 years, are the Marines still in the front Brie?
They are not equipped for stationary warfare.
.Official Answer: because not much of the marine .equipment
.is interchangeable with the army, • a
The overall morale is high because the Marines are extra.
ordinarily well looked after.
Of 7 U.S. battalions round Da Nang, at least 2 are engaged
in protecting the base. The Marine colonel; said the South Vietnamese had 2 or 3 good
divisions, but to give them independent missions would be too
great a ha 7a rd. The S.V. army is barely 10 years old and the
Americans trained them erroneously, at first, for conventional
warfare.
The 9th N. V. division has been badly 'mauled three times. It
withdrew and a few weeks later it was back, better equipped than
ever.
The Saigon area seems to be under control, though 70,000 enemy
troops are estimated to be hiding ie the area.
This war poses problems for the American :soldier for Which
was never trained, •as well as multiple tasks for the high command
from strategy to pacification, to-Lraining a whole army and an
Asian one at. that. •
From a narrow political pointof view, the result of the recent
establishment of a Constituent Assembly means that political
life in `SVN, from a narrow conspiracy, will now have to function
. more in the open. If ane ,government cannot prdvide the political
leadership necessary, then it is futile' to pursue this'war.
The gravest revelation of the elections was the absence of
a leader with a nationwide following.
The generals have indicated they will follow a policy of direction
and socialism. Most of the direction will be by U.S. experts, for
the entire economy depends on U.S. Funds,
An inspectorate, under Tran Van Huong as chairman, • has
begun its fight against corruption. Corruption is part of the oriental
scenery, but in Vietnam it is aggravated by the temptations of
the overflowing American ' cornucopia and the carelessness of
American generosity.
War weariness is not noticeable in Saigon, because everyone,
in oneway or another, is a.profiteer.
