Peace prospects hinge on combat course over coming months
U S policy makers believe peace chances in Viet Nam depend more on military actions than diplomacy. President Johnson pushes a peace offensive amid expanding operations while awaiting possible moves from a London Commonwealth conference and other proposals. Analysts note North Viet Nam, Red China, and Viet Cong seek victory and are not ready to negotiate, as McNamara unveils 16 000 to 21 000 more U S troops to South Viet Nam, raising total to about 75 000 with 21 000 ground combat personnel.
