(AP Wirephoto) Indo-China Truce Clear Cut Communist Victory By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON UR - The Com munists have wo.i a clear-cut vic tory in Indochina. It can't be minimized, The French let them have half of Viet Nam. Now the United States faces one of the most Important decisions in its history. It is this: WiU this country, to kaep the rest of Indochina and Southeast Asia out of Communist hands, be willing to fight if the Communists move any further? Or will the United States Just ait back and express pious hopes that the Southeast Asians won't submit to communism? There is talk until It becomes reality it will remain talk that this country will try to form a Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) to defend the rest of In- iwchina and Southeast Asia against any further Communist advance. It remains to be seen (A) wheth er the United States can get allies to go along with this plan and (B) whether Congress, where there has been much divided opinion, will take action which could lead to military involvement someday. There was so much national un happiness over the Korean War and the cost in American lives, nd so much national relief and Joy when the Communists agreed to a truce there, that there has been no national enthusiasm for getting involved all over again in Asian fighting. The Communists knew of . this feeling. Knowing, they may have gambled that this country wouldn't go to the rescue of the French in Indochina if the Reds slopped up the pressure on the French. If they did bet on that, they won. They will probably sit quietly for while now. They can afford to. They can sit back and watch what the Western Allies, particularly the united States, arc willing to do about agreeing to draw a line in Asia beyond which they won't let the Communists move without massive war. . If the West fails to reach agree ment and any such agreement wouldn't be worth much unless the Southeast Asians were willing to be a party to It it wiU be like a go-ahead light for the Commu nists. If there is agreement, they can still move without open ag gression across a frontier. They can use economic pres sure to subvert the Southeast Asians, plus the usual political pressure and subversion. If that fails, they can start open revolt by local Communists as they did in Indochina. But , the United States has reached a point where it is going to have to be willing to fight in Asia or stop talking so tough about what lies in store for the Commu nists if they move one more inch. There's been some tough talk in the past year by members of President Eisenhower's adminis tration but when the crisis came, the United States stayed out of Indochina. This fact can hardly be lost upon the millions of . Southeast Asians. Nor can this fact: The United Merrill to Talk At Canners! Meet N.

The United States wouldn't approve, but it didn't do anything to atop it. Both the Truman administra tion, for years, and the Eisenhow er administration, for the past 18 months, had time to look at the Indochina war, and see what was happening: that the French were losing. Both insisted the French would win Neither, administration made an effort, so far as is publicly known, to form a Southeast Asia alliance io rescue the French if they got into crisis.
