By Mark Todd Mr. Richard Kilpatrick, Pub lic Affairs Officer of the State Department Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, spoke at Brevard College at the 10:00 a.m. assembly on Novem ber 4. Kilpatrick’s purpose was to explain and defend the gov ernment’s policy in Southeast ern Asia, as well as to become more aware of the opinion of College students on this sub ject. Also, several other small groups got together with Mr. Kilpatrick during the course of the day. Kilpatrick began by review ing the history in Asia since the second . world war, stating that until that time, only Japan, China, and Thailand were in dependent nations, the rest be ing colonies of other nations. At that time there were “great convulsions,” Kilpatrick stated, “of a social, political and cul tural nature. The United States was faced with the problem of maintaining policy towards this turmoiL” The U. S. policy was designed for allowing stability, along with economic social, and cul tural growth, in this new situa tion. Kilpatrick stated that he sees this U. S. policy in this area as being “pretty success ful.” One of the examples he cited was the remarkable pro gress of Japan, “which may call the nation of the 21st cen tury,” which he sees as possi ble through the hard work of the Japanese and an “enlighten ed” U.

Kilpatrick said that we should give the government “the benefit of the doubt,” as far as policy goes here. He stressed the effect that U. S. presence has had in Southeast Asia, singling out the effect it had in aiding anti communist hopes in Indonesia. In Vietnam, he stated, the program of Vietnamization “is succeeding rather weU.” The troop level in Vietnam, he ad ded, will be one-half of what it was earlier by next July. On the Paris Peace talks, he said that the Viet Cong and Hanoi have not yet entered into seri ous discussion for peace, but he added that there is a rumor of internal disagreement in Hanoi, with the possibility that the Government there includes certain factions that are ready to negotiate. Kilpatrick also stated that it appears the communists have reverted to strictly guerilla warfare because of the failure of their offensives.
