Editorials say De Gaulle’s proposal for an international conference to settle Southeast Asia peace is unacceptable to U S officials. The plan calls for a U S pullout and a four power framework with the Soviet Union China and France seen as stacked to the United States. The administration favors continued military effort to defeat the guerrilla threat and reach a political settlement. Republicans urge tougher prosecution to win victory.
The French leader’s Southeast Asia plan, though counter to current U S policy, rests on a potentially more accurate military read. The United States aims to win or at least stabilize Vietnam, with peace secured by a great-power accord resembling De Gaulle’s four-power framework.

The writer defends conservatism and Barry Goldwater, condemns liberal bias in media, and urges clearer reporting of his platform. A second letter praises Bennington Little League sportsmanship after a loss. Other contributions advocate anti poverty measures and call out delinquency causes.
The bitter fighting at the Republican National Convention in San Francisco drew New York Republicans closer. Rockefeller and Goldwater backed delegates, with 87 for Rockefeller and five for Goldwater. Erie county leader Grimm shifted to Rockefeller, aided by Pfeiffer, while Onondaga delegates backed Rockefeller, signaling stronger state unity for fall campaigns.
Perspective on the Goldwater convention argues the campaign relies on a backlash vote and risks splitting the party. It notes opposition to unity, potential alienation of moderates, and critique of inviting division while promising to focus on national issues such as foreign policy and Vietnam.
