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

States held aloof from the armi
stice just agreed to at Geneva, in
which the French let the Commu
nists take over millions of Indo-
Chinese. 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.
When the crisis did come. Sec
retary of State Dulles rushed to
Europe to get "united action." The
British balked, at least then. The
United States stood back. The
French, left alone, sought
armistice, ,
