Senate Ratifies SE Asia Treaty WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate ratified the. Southeast Asia, defense treaty 82-1 Tuesday. The pact links the United States with seven other nations in a new front against any Commu nist aggression in the Far Fast. Sen. Geoige (D-Ga). chairman of the Foreign Relations commit tee, called for swift action on the treaty as a signal "to any Com munist country planning any ag gression that they will have to reckon with the United States.” The senate ratified it after a short debate. Longer Opposed Only Sen. Ganger (R-NDi voted “no." He told the Senate he thought this country "ought to mind its own business and keep out of foreign entangle ments all over Europe and Asia.” The treaty is aimed at block ing external aggression and in ternal subversion in an area which embraces the Asian terri tory of Pakistan. Thailand. South Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. Treaty territory also includes the Philippines and British and French possessions in the South west Pacific. Signatories are the United States. Great Britain. Fiance. Australia. New Zealand, the Philippines. Pakistan and Thai land. The three independent Indo chinese states are not parties to the pact, although their boun daries are protected by it. Formosa Left Out Territories farther north, in cluding Japan and the National ist Chinese-held island of Formo sa, do not come within the sphere of the treaty. Terms of the treaty specific ally state that military’ action in the event of aggression would : depend on the constitutional pro cesses of each signatory nation. Secretary of State Dulles as-! i sured the Foreign Relations Com mittee last month that President Eisenhower would ask Congress for its approval to use military force in any emergency unless it were "so great that prompt ac tion was necessary to save a vital interest of the United States." Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R NJ), who accompanied Dulles to Manila when the pact was ne gotiated. told the Senate Tues day: “The net effect of this treaty is to serve notice on the Chinese j Communists that they shall not j encroach farther on these free; nations of Asia. They are no j longer free to isolate and absorb these countries one by one.” If Communists Attack, Okinawa to be First By Robert Eunson Of the Associated Press NAHA, Okinawa IAP)—If the Communists actually do make a grab for Formosa, it seems pret ty clear they will attack Okin-1 awa first. This keynote in the U.S. Pa-; eific defense plan is only 400 miles from the coast of Red i ; China. This means that U.S. atom bombers from Okinawa could be over Formosa Strait in less than an hour, dropping flam ing death on a Communist inva sion force from the mainland bound for Formosa. Okinawa's bombers could re duce Peiping to a smoking ruins two hours after war was declared and palish off Shanghai in half that time. Facts Known to Both These stark facts are just as well known to the Communists as • they are to the airmen who fly and cafe for the' planes parked in the revetments scattered ubout this semi-tropic isle. , Consequently. Okinawa will be at war immediately if President Eisenhower has to use his con gressional - granted prerogative and call upon U.S. forces to de fend Formosa. “We are the number one Com munist target in the Pacific,” says Maj. Gen. David A. D. Og den, top U.S. commander for Okinawa and the Ryukyu Is lands. “We all know it and we are ready for the emergency.’’ Ogden Commands in \VW II Ogden is a short, stocky engi neer who made his way up in the Army commanding amphibious operations in New Guinea and the Philippines during World War II. What about Okinawa ? I3 it de fensible against an amphibious attack? “That all depends on the Navy and the Air Force," Ogden told tube. “We learned when we were playing this game ourselves that once the Navy and the Air Force break through and you get the troops on the beaches it’s only a matter of time after that." The U.S. Seventh Fleet is op erating in the vicinity of Okina-! wa, so if the Communists want; to land an invasion force here i they have to get past the navy: first. If Chinese bombers come out from the mainland, looking forj the airfields and the bombj dumps on Okinawa, they will be! met by Sabre jets who constantly j patrol the skies. “We aren't on any more special | alert now than we always have j been." says Maj.
