Effectiveness of SEATO Pact May Be Put To Test if Moves Continue
United States'
Obligation May
Result in War
Washington (UPD Six years
ago, with only one dissenting
vote in the Senate, the United
States took on an obligation
which now might draw Amer
icans into war in the obscure
little kingdom of Laos.
The obligation is the South
east Asia Treaty Organization
pact against Communist ag
gression and subversion.
The Chinese Communists
call SEATO a "paper tiger."
That contemptuous judgment
may be put to the test if cur
rent political moves to halt
the East-West proxy war in
Laos fail and the Soviet-armed
Red rebellion grows.
SEATO boasts at its annual
ministerial meetings that not
an inch of territory or a single
government in its treaty area
has been captured by the
Communists since the alliance
was formed In early 1955, fol
lowing the Indochina armi
tice. Helps Discourage Reds
SEATO has never gone to
war to maintain this record,
but its eight members believe
their pledge of collective mili
tary action has helped dis
courage Communist ambi
tions. ' The late Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles sparked
the movement to create
SEATO. One of his main ob
jectives was to assure some
chance for survival of the
three new nations of former
French Indochina, all weak,
vulnerable and under the
shadow of Communist China.
The Indochina states - Laos,
Cambodia, and the Republic
of (South) Viet Nam - could
not join a military alliance,
according to the prevailing in
terpretation of the Indochina
armistice terms. Dulles' solu
tion was a protocol attached to
the SEATO pact putting them
under what he called

"SEATO's mantle of protec
tion." The provision means that if
Laos, for example, comes un
der Communist armed attack
and asks SEATO for help, the
Allies are as bound to come
to its aid as they would if a
full member appealed for col
lective help.
The members are the Unit
ed States, Britain, France, The
Philipipnes, Pakistan, Thai
land, Australia and New Zea
land. The alliance's permanent
ambassadorial representatives
and its military planning staff
at Bangkok have been holding
well - publicized meetings on
the Laos crisis.

reminder to Moscow. Peiping
and Hanoi that SEATO exists
and takes its commitments
seriously.
