SIR,-1 wish there had been better indication in the Commons debate on Vietnam that your very sensible article ('Objectives in Vietnam,' July 8) had been more thoroughly absorbed by Opposition speakers.
You make clear the distinction between this con- flict and other conflicts in defence of freedom, between the highly dubious risks of a policy of esca- lation and the unquestioned need for stubborn con- tainment. between all our wishful thinking and what is likely to be the end result of battering North and South Vietnam into a pulp.
It is my guess that thousands of Conservatives throughout the country recognise these points, and would be immensely relieved to hear them spelled out in Parliament effectively and authoritatively by their representatives there.
