THE GREATEST danger in
the growing involvement of the
United States in the guerrilla
conflict which has engulfed
much of South Vietnam is that
this country could be letting it
self irt for a repetition of the
Korean War.
The situations are similar in
many respects. South Vietnam,
‘ like South
Korea before
it, is but half
a country,
separated
from its Com
munist coun
terpart in the
North by the
arbitrary and
unrealistic boundary of the 17th
parallel. That line was fixed by
the Geneva Conference which
en . i the French Indochina War
in much the same way the 38th
parallel was set as South Ko
rea’s boundary at the conclu
sion of World War II. It was
across the 38th parallel that
North Korea invaded South Ko
rea and it is across the 17th
parallel that hundreds of guer
rillas from North Vietnam,
probably trained in Communist
China, are infiltrating into
South Vietnam to conduct hit-
and-run raids and engage in
acts of sabotage and terrorism.
* * *
THE AGGRESSION against
South Vietnam has not yet in
volved the massed armies which
marked the bloody Korean con-
liipjt and casualties are running
less than 100 a day for both
aide's. But Communist China al
ready is making the same omi
nous, saber-rattling; noises it
made before the intervention of
hundreds of thousands of “Chi
nese Volunteers” in Korea.
Already more than 5,000 uni
formed Americans have been as
signed to assist and train the-
170,000-man Vietnamese Army
and' hundreds more are expected
by summer, We have sent heli
copter 'companies, Air Force
training: groups and engineer
detachments and have commit--
ted American naval vessels to
petroling the little country’#
coastline. Some $60-million has
been earmarked! for a crash pro
gram to build modern > airfields,
ammunition dumps and naval
facilities. Secretary of Defense
McNamara has disclosed that
American fliers have been in ac
tual shooting combat and there
have been more than a dozen
American casualties.
* * *
WHAT THIS country must:
avoid at all costs is getting it
self involved in a conflict witl*
Red China which it is not pre
pared to win. We were rohbetf
of victory and bled white in *
war of attrition in Korea be
cause of the political decision
not to attack the Communist
Chinese supply bases in Man
churia. We will he inviting a re
peat performance in South Viet
nam if, as is being suggested in
some influential quarters, we
limit ourselves in advance to-
action south of the 17th parallel*
Instead of letting th© Chinese
Reds think they can. ©perat*-
with impunity from a mainlan^
sanctuary, this country shoolo-
make it plain in the bluntest ox
terms that Comipuniat inter
vention in Vietnam will result:
not only in the bombmg of sup
porting bases but also in th»
unleashing of th© forces of Na
tionalist China and South Ko
rea. That is the kimf of ’ltkKrgu’aSiir
Mao and hia cohorts can unde**
stand.
