If ao, we have two choice.
We can Bo In FOR BLOOD with

Or
We can send ground force Into
the Jungle.
There la thla diltcrence:
When you go In with air end-or

your discretion. When you go In
with ground forcea. there are
only two ways to get out:
1. Take a bad licking and get
nut any way you can to aave

3. LICK THE ENEMY.
The first la unthinkable. As to

Maybe It'a bigger than we can af

Why should we no Into (Southeast

Well, there are the Philippines.

We could say to the French:
"We're aorry, gcnUemen. but
you're In Uio wrong. You'd better
give Indochina back to Uie Indo
Chinese." We could any to the
llrlllsh: "YOU'RE In Uie wrong.
You'd better give Malay and Uie
rest of Southeast Asia In which you
still havo a toehold back to the
Southeast Asians."
We could then set ourselves In
the Philippines and say to M.L Uie
Smiuieaat Asian peoples: "Herein

to RUN -YOUR OWN AFFAIRS.
After all, wo were the first nation
in Uie world to throw off the yoke
