PATIENCE URGED
Johnson On Vietnam
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) WASHINGTON, June 10. President Johnson yesterday appealed to Americans to display patience as they watched the long struggle in Vietnam. Addressing a group of senior State Department officials, the President said Americans grew impatient when they could not see light at the end of the tunnel. He added: “When some of our fellow citizens despair of the tedium and time necessary to bring change as for example in Vietnam today they are forgetting our own history.”
The President also said that two major U.S. goals were to improve relations among the N.A.T.O. allies and also between the West and the Communist countries.
He said that in spite of the South-east Asia crisis, America was busy with a whole range of world activities which Included attempts to accelerate the Latin American Alliance for Progress and to speed up economic aid for Africa and Asia.
