Wilson Warns Force Will Not Bring Peace
British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, guest at a White House state dinner, urged President Johnson not to bow to demands for stepping up fighting in Vietnam. He warned force cannot end the war and urged negotiators to meet at the conference table. Wilson praised Johnson's handling of the Pueblo incident and cited the San Antonio peace formula as guiding, saying the road to peace was charted. He spoke without notes, noting the war’s toll and urging restraint amid rising public pressure to escalate. Johnson quipped he must attend to Khe Sanh after the toast to Queen Elizabeth.
