Lodge--1
Saigon--Hanoi pelted Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge with a savage propaganda barrage shortly after his late August arrival in Saigon, according to reports reaching here.
In a Vietnamese language broadcast to the South Vietnamese on August 26--the date Ambassador Lodge was originally scheduled to arrive--the Communist regime blasted "old colonialist Cabot Lodge" for his "warmongering, aggressive" work in the United Nations.
Ambassador Lodge, who previously served as United States Ambassador to the United Nations, arrived in Saigon several days after the August 21st raid on Buddhist pagodas and arresting of Buddhist leadership by troops and police of the Vietnamese government.
The Hanoi broadcast labelled the 61-year-old Ambassador as the "governor general of South Vietnam" and said Washington had given him "a heavier coat of makeup" than his predecessors had received.
"During the two months before his arrival in Saigon, he was advertised like a new brand of goods," the Hanoi broadcast said. "The ups and downs of his life and his struggle for power were chanted every day."
"But what the U. S. warmongering circles never mention," the broadcast continued, "is that during his eight years of activity at the United Nations he was a saboteur of all policies of peace and progress...and prevented the legal seating of the China's People Republic at the United Nations.

Lodge--2
"At the U. N. General Assembly sessions in 1960 and in previous years, Lodge was the mouthpiece of the U. S. imperialists' warmongering, aggressive policy in the problems of Hungary, Tibet, Congo and so forth."
Propaganda from Hanoi has shown a schizophrenic pattern, on the one hand linking the policies of the "U. S.-Diem clique" and one the other hand recognizing that the United States disapproves of Diem's policies of raiding Buddhist pagodas and declaring martial law.
"Lodge, on the one hand, has to cope with the ever developing movement of struggle of the South Vietnamese people and, on the other, has to seek ways to grasp tightly the Ngo Dinh Diem horse that refuses to obey the orders of its master," the broadcast said.
Like Hanoi, Peiping has also recognized the differences of opinion between Washington and Saigon. In an English-language broadcast to Asia and Europe on September 3, Peiping's New China News Agency rationalized the split by saying that while South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem is a "faithful dog of U. S. imperialism," the Kennedy administration is conducting "machinations" to discard "the Ngo Dinh Diem gang and replace it with a more subservient and more efficient lackey"."
Much of the Peiping broadcast repeated Western press reports which were critical of President Ngo Dinh Diem and detailed the "showdown" between Washington and Saigon policies.
