Peking dismisses LBJ Viet peace talk as smoke screen
Peking based observers dismissed Johnson's peace bid as a smokescreen to keep U.S. forces in South Viet Nam. They argued his 14 points clash with Hanoi's four point plan and questioned any chance of real negotiations. New China and Vietnamese statements echoed similar warnings about U.S. plans to widen the war in Indochina. Inevitably, the report notes, the stance is part of a broader Communist critique of U.S. policy.
