Washington is aware that some new, hard de cisions will soon have to be made If the territory la- to be kept out of Communist hands. There is perhaps slight reason to doubt that recent Viet Mlnh rebel advances hi Laos are. designed to Impress Western diplomats meet ing with Russian Foreign Minister Molotov in Berlin. But the unhap py fact is, the French are not able to prevent these demonstrations of mobility. - - .-' ' ; -And tins despite America's con tribution of nearly two thirds of the present cost of the war, not to mention other efforts to Improve tbe French military position. Close observers both In France and Indo-China say the French at home and the French soldiery in the neio are terribly tired of this eight-year-old war. They want it to end.

Not Jong ago, a small unit of Viet namese defected to the enemy, taking with them valued equip-" ment. The lesson waa not lost on either the French, their native al lies, or tne Bed rebels.- On the other side, the Viet Mlnh forces are rated a better army than ever before in the long contest. Originally a ragtag and bobtail outfit, they have gained greatly through training and are now an organized army. Further. more, consistent aid from China and Russia has fitted them for mod em combat against the best the French can offer.- . .. -, So, slowly but steadily, Iha bal ance seems to be swinging against the French. They have hinted many times that they would like a truce. The Reds have tossed out the hope they might get one. But a truce In Indo-Chlna would not be like one in Korea. -.' j No single firm battle line across Indo-China exists. Big splotches, not all Joined together, represent Red-hiud soil. Within these are is lands of French resistance, like the embattled Hanoi perimeter nd Red River Delta. Most or- anlted Red strength is in the north tut there is one big patch along he east coast. Western leaders fear that . any truce would leave the Reds in too strong a position, both militarily and politically, for future safety. It might be different if a single line existed and the Viet Namese natives were enthusiastically or ganised under a strong pro-Frenoh leader. But such is not the case. If our own military. and diplo matic experts hold to the theory that Indo-China is stiU the key to all Southeast Asia and must there fore be kept out of Red hands, they give themselve a tough assign ment. Almost certainly, tbe participa tion of American manpower In tho Indo-China war on' any substan tia,! scale would be dismissed as a political impossibility at home. The alternatives would seem to be to take on a still bigger share of the toad, and possibly to undertake with embarrassment to the French the ..training of Viet Na mese natives for the defense of their own soil. ... .
