Editorial
Toynbee On Vietnam
Arnold J. Toynbee, world renowned British historian
r.nd philosopher, whose "'Study of History" required for-
ty years to complete and is perhaps the most honored
study of the rise and fall of civilizations, recently spoke
out on the United States and Its foreign policy.
On the eve of his eightieth birthday the great histor-
ian offered these comments:
"Because Americans believe in monolithic Commun-
ism. to them Ho Chi Mlnh is a Communist and Mao Is
a Communist, and therefore they must be sold with each
other . . but the truth is that. Ho Is a Vietnamese and
Mao is a Chinese. The Vietnamese have for two thousand

WASHINGTON - Clifford L.
Alexander, who is resigning as
chairman of the Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Commission,
as saying the progress of the
fight against racial and other
discrimination;
"You’re getting to the stage
of middle-class reviolt with
people who can better articulate
their discrimination "
HAMMERING AWAY
CATOCTTN PARK, Md. - A
Job Corps members, asked by
Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wiscon-
sin what he will do when the
years been resisting being absorbed by the Chinese andicorps center closes:
they'll do It again. It’s grand for China that America
has pushed Vietnam Into China's arms."
Asked with what ancient clvilzation present-day
America could be compared, Toynbee replied: "What
comes to my mind are the last days of the Roman Re-
public, Cicero's time. Why? Well, tremendous power In
the world, used in a rather fearful way to the great dis-
tress and suffering of the people . . . and tremendous
disorder at home . . . and above all violence.”
Toynbee feels the 21st century will belong to China.
“They will be two fifths of the human race by then.
They will be under a single government. They are very
hard-working, extremely intelligent, and they have de-
cided if they’re to count In the world they’ve got to learn
about Western technology, which they certainly will be
able to do."
One need not ayrce with the great historian's prog-
nostications to see that they contain much food for
thought for every thinking American.
"There's nothing to do but go
back on the streets where you
come from.”
LONDON — Bernadette Dev-
lin, 22-year-old civil rights lead-
er from Northern Ireland,
breaking tradition to deliver a
speech on her first day as a
member of parliament:
"The people of Northern Ire-
land are being oppressed, not
only by a Tory government, but
by a corrupt, bigoted and self-
interested Tory government
with whom the Tories in this
house should be ashamed to
associate themselves."
Japan's Uranium
After over two years of research, the Radioscope
Laboratory of Tokyo has been successful In experiments
on equipment to enrich natural uranium through the
gaseous diffusion method. It’s the first time Japan has
demonstrated the potential to produce enriched uran-
ium.
The nation is not yet prepared to produce uranium
on a massive scale but the recent experiments will like-
ly enable Japanese industry to do so. This process might,
however, be a long one.
Nevertheless, the announcement of the nation’s abi-
lity to produce enriched uranium Is of significance. Ja-
pan has not yet signed the treaty to halt the spread of
nuclear weapons and there is opposition to such a step
In the Diet.
A government spokesman said Japan would adhere
co its present polily of using nuclear energy only for
peaceful purposes in commenting on the new potential.
But if Tokyo doesn’t sign the treaty against the spread
of nuclear weapons, Japan would remain in a position
of being able to change Its policies at any time.
Neither France nor Red China have signed the trea-
ty and West Germany, while expected to sign, is not yet
formally committted. Thus the effort p halt the spread
of nuclear weapons is not likely to be completely effect-
ive, and the spectre of eight or nine nuclear powers
hangs over the world’s head.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland - Dr.
Skull Thoroddsen, who Wants to
duel to the death with a repre-
sentative of the queen of Eng-
land to get NATO troops remov-
ed from Iceland:
“The only thing I asked was
that the British government pay
for my burial if I lose."
FREEHOLD, N. J. - Ter-
rance Weber, a lover of the
sea, explaining why he gave
up advertising that he would,
for a fee, send messages across
the ocean in bottles:
"Nothing happened. We only
got three responses."
ITHACA, N.Y. - James Per-
kins, president of Cornell Uni-
versity, where armed students
occupied a campus building:
"It It time to stop the taking
over of university buildings by
force."

Ventral Press Washington Correspondent i
ASHINGTON—Most people in this politically alert fcapitnl
City believe they are. observing the making ot,a.presiden-
tial candidate in the conduct and behavior of Sen. Edward At,
Kennedy of Massachusetts. They believe he Has sAt hirhsMJ along
the same path of long-range image-making that characterized
the successful effort of John F. Kennedy, and
marked the course of his other ’brothbri Sena-
tor Robert F. Kennedy of New York, up til hia
assassination almost a year ago.’' )
If this belief is well-founded,- "Teddyts" un-
dertaking could prove even more difficult and
involve a longer span of years thaft -Was the
case with either of his brothers.. In JQhn F.
Kennedy’s case, the work spanned leg than
four years—from 1956 when he lost aq open
vote for the Democratic vice pK.e^dentiid nom-
ination to 1960 when he won the presidential
nomination of his party. In thepaewof Robert
F. Kennedy, his presidential aspirations pegan
to take active form only after the 'assassina-
tion of his brother, and his aim y&vi.Uife 1968
nomination. ‘
Teddy, still under 40, has a presumed'target
of 1976, almost eight years away and, according to the growing
crowd of the convinced, he first set foot on the president) dj path
even before Richard M. Nixon had won the GOP presidential
nomination last summer. Nixon is only In the UQrft Y>f his
first administration, and political reality Indicates neatjy all
modern White House umbents (Lyndon B. actinsen-excqpted)
have succeeded thems..ves in a second term.
Even in 1976 Teddy will be a youthful presidential candidate.
He starts with the great advantage of identity’ ahd publlcf sym-
pathy and admiration for his family, and with the active sifpport
of the bright men his two brothers gathered a ^ ‘ “J,j —
as a political front-runner, he will be a prime ‘
the GOP and factions within his own party whb nurture i
ambitions for their own leaders. - . ..
In addition, as a presidential aspirant, Teddy will have to tak<*
stands on all of the major issues of the times. *nte stands ha
takes may be popular today, but discredited or passe by the time
1976 rolls around.
Any way you figure it, iUs a longhand a long-odds gamble.
• SUCCESS FORMULA—For years, the best formula for suc-

another good way Is to work closely with the unsuccessful presi-
dential campaign. - ■ -

WRONG GUESS
SPRINGFIELD, 111. <UH) -
The Old Shawn eetown Bank 125
years ago rejected a loan ap-
plication for Chicago because
they didn’t think the city would
ever amount to much.
Although several members of
the state House of Representa-
tives said they agreed with the
bank, the legislative body una-
nimously passed a resolution
making it an historic state
landmark.

TOO LATE
PERSHORE, England (L’PV
— Mrs. Mabel Thombryce
thought it was a trick and
slammed the door in the face
of the fire extinguisher sales-
man who told her: “Madam,
your house is on fire. May I
demonstrate?”
He wasn’t joking, a* Mrs.
Thornbryce quickly found out.
After firemen had put out the
fire in her chimney she re-
marked. "I wish the salesman
would come back — he would
have a sale now."
