It is not really very difficult to demonstrate that the United States' involvement in the civil war in South Vietnam is a wasteful and futile exercise. Two correspondents in Saigon have just received a Pulitzer Prize for overcoming that difficulty. The story of ever-mounting casualties and expenditures and of diminishing returns for U.S. policy objectives is on public record. Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon has assembled the facts and the evidence in a notable speech to his colleagues that is recommended reading.
