Ancient War Rules

/ seems that the mystery about the
communist Chinese pull back from
their penetration of India can be eN-
planned by the cart of War as laid
down by Sun Tzu, a Chinese s~trategist,
nearly $500 years ago. It advises the
very opposite of modern warfare, in
which the obi ective is to pursue and
destroy the enemy.
The military art is just a device to
enable the aggressor to acquire an mi
tial a~scendancy, it seems. Once his DO
sltlon is strong. he is told he will get
what he wants without having to fight
for it. That accounts for the pull back
to strategic positions and the call for
negotiations. Having seized the initia-
tive, China expects to get what it wants
simply by posing a threat at India.
strategy all along. 1t has paid off for
the Soviet Union, which acquired the
greatest colonial empire of modern
times, and it is paying off for China
with the pieces it has acquired in North
Korea, North Nietnam, Tibet and Laos.
India has decided not to give away its
territory for the asking. With Ameri-
can, British and other aid, it NAV stop
Chinia's aggression.
