Assurances & Irony. In Asia itself, the extent and efficacy of the American response in Viet Nam have already left the imprint on nations from Pakistan, whose President Mohammed Ayub Khan emphasized last week in Washington that his country deeply values its friendship with the U.S. despite its warm relations with Red China, to Japan, where Foreign Minister Etsusaburo Shiina assured Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield that his government "understands and highly values" America's involvement in Viet...
Deep-Down MLF? The Administration will also be searching for answers to European problems. Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson follows Ayub for a two-day round of conferences. Then comes West Germany's Chancellor Ludwig Erhard. With both visitors, the main topic will be military hardware...

He will press hard, nonetheless, for withdrawal of both nations' troops from the explosive battle area.
