We have failed to persuade the New Statesman to debate with us on the question of Reform or Revolution. The reason given was that they did Not want to face the possibility of being shouted down by a lot of rowdies. Paul Johnson did not attend the historic Dwarf/Tribune debate (where Robin Blackburn made his expulsion speech) but the impression he had received (largely it seems from Alan Brien) was of "a shambles". We played him the tapes of the debate to prove that it was a perfectly orderly and civilised meeting and that the reports he had heard were just a whining attempt to explain away why the reformists had flopped but he was adamant.

Maybe he is right. He would have been a fool to have put his head on the block. The New Statesman is finished anyway. We thought we might do it a favour by giving it some publicity. Why doesn't Harold pack Paul Johnson off somewhere with his ambassadorship and hand the job over to a real Tory.

an article The smell of defeat begins to blow away, concerning American successes in South Vietnam, which appeared in the Economist on February 22. One day later, the VC launched an offensive which made the US generals look ike the greatest stumblebums ever to walk out of West Point.

Not wishing to make mistakes of this kind, Dwarf spoke to its informant on Southeast Asian affairs, straight off the plane from Phnom Penh. He had a great deal to say. He had interviewed in Cambodia Nguyen Vanh Hieu, leader of the NLF's diplomatic mission there.

The mission is located in an enormous house in Phnom Penh. Diplomats, emissaries, cadres stream in and out, and the telexes rattle away, putting one into swift contact with every part of the Vietnamese front. Our man spent several hours here, talking to Nguyen Vanh Hieu about eve Look, he replied to one of our questions, aspect and phase of the wa "how long do you imagine that a campaign of the size of the Tet offensive takes to engineer, remembering the necessary complexity of supplies, troop movements and the infiltration of Saigon? It took 8 months. In that 8 months, at a conservative estimate, at least 30% of Saigon's population was fully aware of what was happening. What do you call that?' Here we grovelled to find an epithet for that type of DWARF Our candidate for journalistic miss of the year: helping the VC. The people thus pointed out are summarily shot.

Nguyen readily admits that the CIA has killed some very important people through the use of this desperate technique. Most of those slaughtered are, however, not in contact with the NLF and are ordinary peasants. They'vehad the finger laid on them merely because the 'Informer' has to show some results in exchange for those dollars.
