In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Defense Secretary Wilson, asked about the truce situation in Indo china, answers: "The wise thing at the moment may be to draw a truce line across the country at or near the middle, but I'm not enthusiastic about Cie idea." Thank you, Mr. Wilson. That bout sizes up the situation. When wax stopped shooting on a line drawn across the middle of Korea nobody was very enthusias tic about the idea. But we were all very, very happy indeed to get rid of a shooting war that we couldn't afford to lose. It's about the same way, I sus pect, in In-tochina. A thoughf- for today: Like the turned child that avoids the fire aitj the wolf that got caught in ti.e trap and was ever afterward ci gey about traps, let's be EXTREMELY careful in the future about getting into wars that we can't afford to win and can't afford toi lose.
