By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Peace in Vietnam by June is likely, according to some very high sources in Ottawa. This is believed despite Poland's re- fusal to reactivate the truce supervisory functions of the In- ternational Control Commission in preparation for the possibil- ity of a cease-fire. Canada and India are the other two mem- bers of this commission which was established in 1954 at the time of the Geneva accord end- ing French rule over Vietnam. Canada's hopes for peace--or to be more precise, for a cessation of hostilities--are based on the fact that the two sides are not quite so far from agreement on the conditions that mus be ful- filled before talks begin. One of the conditions is that the U.S. should stop bombing. U.S. military men have been saying that increased bombing would bring a quick end to the war and could thus be consid- ered a humane solution, reduc- ing deaths and suffering in the long run, Sixty-two per cent of the U.S. people, according toa public opinion poll, favor in- creased bombing, but only as a means to end the war more quickly and thereby stop the killing. Such is President .John- son's interpretation of this poll, say my Canadian sources. SECRET NEGOTIATIONS So Johnson would not feel he was taking an undue political risk by halting the air raids on North Vietnam in exchange for a private indication that a tangible reciprocal concession would be forthcoming. There are secret negotiations at this moment around this specific is- suc, and those in the know are fairly hopeful. And once the fighting ends, its resumption would be made difficult by the pressure of world opinion \ permanent settlement, thereafter, is not unimaginable, Already some of its points are sketched in: the U.S, has taken great pains to assure the Com- munist world: that American military forces would be com- pletely and quickly withdrawn from Southeast Asia, from Thai- land even, provided some inter- national "'presence' took over to make sure that South Viet- nam's fate would be settled. by elections and not 'by revolution. How could an international "'presence"' or force, or observer corps succeed in controlling guerrillas who have thwarted U.S. power for so long? But this is not a new problem; it existed in 1954, at the end of the war between the French and the Vietnamese guerrillas, and the latter did not stop their opere ations because they were confi dent they would win the election that was then promised them, South Vietnam, with Ameri+ can advice, went back on that promise. Will the Vietnamese Communists take the risk of being denied an electoral vice fory a second time? Will the Americans risk a Communist electoral victory These are serious risks, but Ottawa feels that North Viet- nam may prefer to chance being duped rather than suffer con- tinued bo and President Johnson n prefer being re- pudiated i Vietnamese elec- tion to be i liated by -his own voters in 1968 ; MAO FORCES WIN GM VETERANS TAKE RIDE DOWN MEMORY LANE McNab, manager of special activities, GM public rela- tions department and sec- ond vice-president of the Ki- wanis Club, who was guest speaker; Ernie Luke, 73, who retired after 51 years with GM; (rear) Alex Special guests at the lunch- eon were GM _ employees with over 50 years' service.
