Nixon's proposals do show that the ad- ministration is attempting to go a step beyond proposals that have been made to this time to gain a reasonable peace. During the first year of his term of office, Nixon spoke again and again of achieving a "just peace" in Incochina. He also spoke during his campaign of a plan to gain a reasonable settlement in the war. However, during the administration's term of office there has been very little evidence of what this plan is or when it is going to be put into effect. Much of the world greeted the Presi- dent's proposal with praise, but there is some concern among the Communists that the plan might "legalize American ag- gression in Indochina." As it now appears, the proposal will have little effect on peace talks in Paris. «*^7. ■■»» Sv.~--f,i It is hoped, however, that the proposal VN % for a standstill ceasefire is not the end ?£A(E' 15 WHEN NOBKWS SHOOTING A JU5t PEACE' of the President's campaignplay for achiev- 15 WMEN OUR Slt>E 6ET; WHAT IT WANTS." ing peace in a war that should have ended peacefully long ago.
