Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 28, No. 9. 1965.

Rev. Mr. Simpson

Rev. Mr. Simpson

Rev. Mr. Simpson, a leader of the Baptist Church, believes that a parallel exists between the situation in Asia now and that in Europe in 1939. He feels that Russian Communism has ceased to be what it was and is now more a form of national socialism: but Chinese Communism may have international aspirations. Mr. Simpson believes that Asians must at some point be left free to work out their own salvation —and that freedom does not exist at present in Vietnam. But Chinese intervention would make it even more unlikely.

"I share the American fear that if Vietnam is not saved from Chinese Communist intervention we shall have been guilty of conniving at a grave injustice, just as we did when we failed to save Austria from Hitler's clutches."
