Bitter Words In Paris Talks Deepen Vietnam Peace Deadlock
At the Paris peace talks American envoy Cyrus R. Vance accused Hanoi of terrorizing the South Vietnamese to accept communism and warned such efforts will fail. Xuan Thuy countered that U.S. peace protests mask escalation and seek to perpetuate Vietnam’s partition. The 22 hour session closed with no progress and a plan to reconvene next week. Vance, substituting for Averell Harriman, said the United States rejects recognizing the NLF as the sole representative of South Vietnam and stressed readiness to halt bombing only if North Vietnam moves toward de escalation and peace.
