State's Johnson fears:
rule by demonstrations
by John Dvorak
, Nebraskan Staff Writer
The nurober-'three man in the U.S.
State Department told a press con
ference in Lincoln Tuesday that he
fears the United States is moving
toward a government by demonstra
tions. If the country were run by a
government of demonstrations, op
posing forces on every issue would
have to demonstrate, said U. Alexis
Johnson, under secretary of state for
political affairs. Then the group with
the biggest demonstration would have
the most influence on government
policy.
The veteran diplomat, who has
served in Korea, China,
Czechoslovakia, South Vietnam and
Thailand defended the right o f
Americans to express their views and
demonstrate in an orderly and
peaceful manner.
Conduct
"It depends how the demonstra
tions are conducted, said Johns n.
"Each person certainly has the con
stitutional right to demonstrate
peacefully."
Johnson also discussed Vietnam as
the main concern of the State
Department.
"It's impossible to say when we'll
get a final solution," he said. "It's
hard to say how much closer we are
to peace since President Nixon took
office, but things hnve been moving
in the right direction."
Johnson said he can understand why
people are impatient to end the long
conflict. But it's difficult to unders
tand how people can suggest liquida
tion by immediate withdrawal and
renouncing everything in South Viet
nam. "It would be a mistake to abandon
the whole thing." he continued. "We
should see that the South Vietnamese
have the opportunity to have self,
direction."
Johnson, who is responsible for the
day-to-day operation of the State
Department and the coordinating of
its many bureaus, was in Lincoln for
lie has half the job
completed, who has
made a beginning.
the annual Foreign Policy Conference
at the Nebraska Center.
He said that not only Vietnam, but
the entire Far East is a volatile area.
Johnson described the situation in
Laos as "tenuous and unstable,"
although he foresees no "Vietnam"
developing there.
Laos
The Laotian government, in trouble
with the communists for years, has
shown "remarkable resiliency,"
Johnson said. Although faced with
seemingly insurmountable difficulties,
it continues to exist, he added.
The government of Thailand also
faces guerrilla activities from the
communists, but they feel competent
to handle the problem, Johnson said.
- "Korea, however, is an area of
concern," Johnson stated. "There is
a very stable, effective government
In South Korea, but there is also a
very hostile, aggressive attitude in the
North."
Johnson made it clear that no Viet
nam would develop in Korea, if it
is made clear that an Invasion from
the North would be met with
resistance.
"Many things being said now about
Vietnam were said about Korea dur
ing the conflict there in the early
1950's," he added.
It was charged the South Korea
government was autocratic, i t s
soldiers didn't care to fight, the war
would never end, Johnson said.
"But now Korea Is one of the great
success stories of Eastern Asia. Who
would have known that 15 years after
the conflict, South Korean troops
would be fighting so well on the side
of the United States in South Viet
nam?" "Diplomat's diplomat"
Johnson, who has the reputation of
a "diplomat's diplomat," commented
on a variety of other topics as well
everything from President Nixon's
conduct in office, to the domino theory
and airplane hijacking.
"Each president has his own style
of doing things," he said. "I have
been impressed with the orderly,
systematic and calm way in which
President Nixon has approached the
whole job, particularly in foreign af
fairs." He pointed out that no president
has had the same extensive exposure
to foreign affairs as Nixon. Johnson
has served in Washington, D.C., dur
ing part of four previous ad
ministrations. "It depends on what you mean by
the Domino Theory," Johnson said.
"If you mean that something happen
ing in a country will affect what hap
pens in a neighboring country, I don't
think anyone could deny it."
Ilijacking
Airplane hijacking has become a
worldwide problem, he said. The
Departments of Transportation and
State have done much thinking on the
subject.
A year ago, the Tokyo Convention
stated that hijacked planes and their
crews should be returned to the coun
try of origin, and those provisions
have recently gone into effect.
An amendment to the Convention
is now being considered that would
order the return of the hijacker as
well. Even Cuba has expressed will
ingness to follow provisions of the
convention.
"This is no longer an American
problem," Johnson remarked. "It's
international in scope, but I'm confi
dent we'll work out a solution."
Johnson stressed that the United
States lives in a tumultuous and
changing world. In response to a
question, Johnson said, "If you mean
are things going to quiet down' the
answer to that is no."
The 61-year-old diplomat has spent
much time in the Far East. He was
ambassador to Thailand from 1958 to
1961. In 1964 and 1965, he was deputy
ambassador to South Vietnam.
