Three weeks ago CRIMSON Editor Larry A. Estridge, sent Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey a set of written questions. His answers, received late last week, appear below in the form of an interview.

If one of your sons came and told you it was morally wrong for the United States to be fighting in Vietnam, what would you say to him?

I would be honest with my sons, as my sons are with me. I would then tell--in the time honored and annoying tradition of parents--that morality and reality are frequently out of phase, and that the moral issue is complex when the opponent is prepared to be immoral. But having talked with and listened to many students, I could also tell him that there is a new generation in the United States and many other countries which rejects the old premises of war and diplomacy. They want to see more emphasis placed on human and personal values. And they offer us that hope for building a world free from war and oppression.

If he went on and told you that he could not in good conscience accept his draft call, what would you say to him?

I would also ask him if he were prepared to take the legal consequences of this action. If he were, I would respect his decision.

What are your priorities in allotting money after the war is over?

I have emphasized that we must use the "peace dividend" which will accrue from an end to the Vietnam war for social programs at home and peaceful development abroad.

We must not use termination of the War as an excuse to further escalate the arms race, but as an opportunity to return to first priorities--the rebuilding of our cities and of our war-torn globe.

In your opinion are we financially able to support the war in Vietnam and at the same time solve our domestic problems?

The drain on America's resources and energies from the Vietnam war prevents us from doing all that we could--and all that we should--to solve our pressing domestic problems.

This adds to the urgency of reaching a prompt and honorable end to the conflict. As I said in my nationwide Vietnam address: "I owe it to this nation to bring our men and resources in Vietnam back to America where we need them so badly and to be sure to put first things first in the future."

While the war continues, however, we must not permit our domestic programs to be dismantled. We have worked too hard, fought too many battles to allow the Vietnam war to undo what the forces of conservation could not undo.

We can expect an additional $15 billion per year in revenues from the growth of the economy. Through wise allocation of resources we can avoid cutbacks in existing social programs.

Yet we must recognize our action as a stopgap to hold programs intact until an end to the war permits an expansion in the works of social justice here at home. Let us remember, however, that we must have a Congress and an Administration that will allocate the peace dividend to domestic needs. This was not the case after Korea.

As President, would you be in favor of, opposed to, the granting of amnesty and/or repatriation of draft resisters?
