answer with a simple “yes” or
“no”?
Of the next two questions,
that stated “Do you sympa
thize with the aim of the Mora
torium as stated above: strong
ly, somewhat, undecided,"
could not have been answered
as the aim of the Moratorium
was not given above — unless
that aim would be to express
approval of the war in Vietnam
(the “above” question) 1 have
already commented on the
coversheet containing the
moratorium propaganda, the
presuppositions of the poll
sters. And as for the other
question “If so, do you voice
your sympathy: yes, no, indif
ferent?” I am compelled to
wonder with whom we are
called to sympathize.
The next question, “Would
you participate in peaceful
demonstrations against the war
in Vietnam: yes, no,” has
nothing to do with the mora
torium, which denotes a period
of inactivity, not an active
demonstration.
The answer to the question
“Do you think Nixon’s plan
for withdrawal of troops from
Vietnam is effective and suffi
cient: yes, no, undecided,”
would, i am sure, be of great
interest to the President.
Surely de-escalation of the war
is more sufficient than the
escalation of the previous
administration.
The last question “if you do
not voice your sympathy, is it
because of parental pressure or
other such influences: yes,
partly, no,” is degrading, it
implies that anyone not in
sympathy is a tool of the
“Establishment” or still tied to
mother's apron strings. An
intelligent student could well
react that the condescening
tone of the question had been
one of the “other influences”
responsible for the rejection of
the Moratorium.
As Confucius said “Trust no
one who bears a Holy Cause.”
