To Visit Red China
RANGOON. Burma W Pre
mier U Nu is due to leave Nov. 29
for a visit to Red China. He will be
returning a visit Chinese Premier
Chou En-Lai made to Rangoon last
June. '
En route the Burmese leader
plans to break his trip at Hanoi
as India's Prime Minister Nehru
did on a similar journey to Peiping
last month to confer with Presi
dent Ho Chi Minn of Communist
ruled North Viet Nam. )
5. Conclusion of a Southeast

to .commit the strength of the
Western powers to stop the flow

ter of Asia. i '
Reich Agreement
6. Final agreement on a new
plan for rearming West Germany,
giving it sovereignty and making
it a full partner in the North At
lantic alliance.
,The box score on the other side
the record of things which went
wron? includes these items:
"L The. failure of Secretary of
State Dulles, against1 French un
certainty, to get negotiations start
ed on a Southeast 'Asia alliance
in time to strengthen France's
bargaining' position at the Geneva
conference on an Indochina peace
last spring and summer.
2. The split between Dulles on
one hand and Britain's Foreign
Secretary Eden and France's Pre
mier Mendes-France on the other
over the kind of peace which could
be made in Indochina. !
Dulles washed his hands of the
settlement which ' gave Northern
Viet .Nam to the Reds, although
he was compelled to use it as a
basis for trying to build new
strength in the areas of Indochina
which remain non-Communist.
3. A loss of United States in
fluence in Saudi-Arabia following
the death of old King Ibn Saud
and the succession of his son.
Kind Saud. -
Moral Breakdown
This usually is attributed to
kind of moral breakdown- in the
Saudi ruling group with increasing
concern for personal profit j and
decreasing concern for nationalist
interest But' it has been aggra
vated by American support for the
state of Israel, a sore point with
Arab countries.
4. The growth of neutralism in
South Asia. Prime Minister Neh
ru's visit to Red China symbolized
the i faith of many Indians ! and
people in countries like Indonesia
and Burma that they can I live
safely in a middle position be
tween the Communist bloc and the
bloc led by the United States.
Ameriban officials think these
Asians are playing a dangerous
and deplorable game. i ,
5. The growth of the idea of co
existence in Western Europe. Con
trary to the view of American of
ficials many Europeans appear to
be convinced that they can: live
and trade with the Russians with
out too much difficulty in a con
dition approaching normal peace.
6. Anti-Amencanism in Japan
and highly critical attitudes to
ward the United States in other
friendly Far Eastern countries,
notably Kovea.
Koreans Bitter I "'
Japanese reactions may be the
inevitable result of Japan's defeat
and occupation whereas the Ko
reans are bitter about American
plans for building new Japanese
power and American opposition to
President Syngman Rhee's readi
ness to take over Communist
North Korea by force. s
No , country ever exercises a
leadership so perfect that it avoids
all setbacks and compromises. But
the comparative records available
indicate that in the past 18 months
the United States has suffered
major reverses in Europe j and
Asia which reflect recent changes
in its relations with friendly coun
tries
These changes add up to a new
U.S. diplomatic position which has
come about not so much by de
liberate choice as by the inevitable
march of events which in many
instances the United States itself
set in motion. 1
Perhaps the most signifcant sin
gle 1 event in 1 the collection', of
causes was the death of Soviet
dictator Joseph Stalin in March,
1953, and the greater flexibility
which developed in foreign policy
under the guidance of Premier
Malenkov and Foreign Minister
Molotov once they were free of
Stalin's domination.
Russia's relative good behavior
during the transitional 18 months
has reduced fear in many lands
even though Western leaders say
it has not by any means elimi
nated the dangers of Russian ag
gression. ... ;
GOP Guidance
Stalin's death roughly coincided
with two other facts of world-wide
importance. Shortly before he died
the Eisenhower administration re
placed the Truman administration
in the United States, and the Uni
ted' States, under Republican gui
dance, began sharply tapering off
American aid programs and try
ing, where possible, to reduce U.
S. commitments abroad.
President Eisenhower carried
through policies for ending the
Korean War and followed success
in this endeavor with a reduction
of U.S. armed forces in the Far
East. .1
' These adjustments in United
States policyt were made possibly
by the fact that the policies which
were adjusted ; had served their
purpose. . 1 i .
The line of resistance to com
munism and of building strength
in the Free World had been laid
down by President Truman in rec
ommending aid for Greece and
Turkey1 in 1347.
The Marshall Plan for European
recovery, the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, the policy of
rearming , West Germany, i Jap
anese peace and defense treaties,
the determination to fight in Ko
rea and to help the fight in Indo
china against communism all
these matters had been decided
before the new administration took
over. . "
Its task thus becomes one of ad
justing to the situation created by
the fact that the Free World had
developed military and economic
strength and was tu longer so de
pendent on the United States.
