Show Page Two Cattlemens Assn. To Explain Role Jreaclti It is becoming increasingly clear, as Congress grapples with its tax, economic, social, civil rights and other problems, that it is wrestling with effects instead of basic causes, of many of the nation's problems. Yet, much of the pattern for the forthcoming, imminent 1968 presidential election campaign is being fashioned on Capitol Hill, where the leadership of both political parties is struggling to stake out the best possible stance on issues most likely to be uppermost in the voters' mind when the campaigning gets underway. The Vietnam war is certain to be the one inevitable issue of the presidential campaign which if not already begun, gets under way shortly after the first of the year when campaigning for the first of the pre convention primary elections gets underway. In the meantime, Congress, unable to become involved with the war issue in any meaningful way, is bickering over the effects of that war. For the last 90 days of this Con-gre- s, partisan tempers can be expected to flare as Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders try to stake out the '68 party election stand on such issues as civil rights, social welfare, tax, fiscal, economic, labor, anti-riohousing, education, job legislation, etc. But these have all become since neither Republicans nor Democrats, the House nor Senate, the President, nor anyone else in this country can settle the one issue affecting all else, which is, of course, the war in Vietnam. As the '68 election year approaches, Americans, Democrats and Republicans and everyone else, can be expected to deepen their divisions over all the issues on the Congressional agenda. The tragedy is, that as we become more deeply mired in the intricacies of all the other issues we will lose sight of the fact that the war in Vietnam has become the prime issue, affecting every other facet in American life. There is no need to go down a long list of examples. It is quite enough to realize that the Negro rioting and Civil Rights, Draft, Education, Anti- - Vietnam War t, Eco- Demonstration, Tax, Fiscal, nomic, Social Welfare isseus are all so closely interrelated because of the Vietnam War. One can no longer debate any other issue in American life without considering the impact the Vietnam War has had on it. Congress is dealing in irrelevances when its leaders bicker, quarrel, debate and try to stake out partisan positions on secondary issues and avoid any meaningful initiative on the war that constitutionally, is the presidents responsibility anyway. Vietnam, inevitably will be the key to the 68 campaign. It does little good to begin sidetracking ourselves with issues that have been caused by the war, rather than with the war itself. Americans are certain to de bate every aspect of that war between now and next November when they go to the polls, and that Great Debate will be divisive enough, without drag- Thirty per cent of the average business letter consist of needof less words.
