A United States official said yes
terday that problems not foreseen
earlier might cause delay in the

The official, who refused to be

the state of war would affect the
right of the three occupying pow

1t will prepare a report on

Stormy Indo-Chino Becoming
Another Eust-West Hot SPOT

, the United States and Britain in
dicated plainly they were ready to
accede to French urging to recog-
niZe Bao Dais regime, which was
granted a degree of autonomy
within the French Union. Warm
greetings from Secretary of State
Acheson were given Bao last week
by Rowing American Ambassador
Philip G. JeSsup.
The military background also
has been less than satisfactory
for the French.
A secret military report by Gen.
Georges Revers, recently ousted as
chief of the French Army general
staff because the report strayed
into Communist hands, said that
after three years of fighting Hos
forces the French hold only part
of the territory and less than half
of the population"
Bought u. S. Surplus Goods.
The French have about 10000
soldiers, including-some reports
say-at least $4,000 Germans in
the Foreign Legion, pitted against
an estimated 100000 guerrilla
troops led by Ho.
America has not been giving
France arms directly for use in
Indo-China but France bought up
lot of surplus United States
Army equipment in Europe after
the war and much of it is now
being used in Indo- China.
In certain American quarters, it
is indicated that part of the $75,-
100000 already allocated for the
China area defense might be used
in Indo-China.
Frankly unable to cope ade-
quately with Hos forces, France
lately has been trying political
tactics to WOO away his followers.
The French admit that great num-
bers of Hos followers are sincere
Nationalists and not necessarily
Communists.
Strong independence movements
grew up after the japanese occu-
patton.
Ho Chi-minh, small, frail man
With a wispy beard repeatedly suf-
fering from tuberculosis, took the
leadership of the main independ-
ence movement. Although is past
is mysterious. it is generally agreed
he spent five years in a Moscow
revolutionary training center be-
fore the war.
However, Ho after proclaiming
his Viet-Nam republic in 1945,
announced he had dissolved the
Communist Party in Indo-C China
and claimed he was no longer al
Communist. In 1946 the French
decided to cooperate with him.
They recognized his government
and brought him to Paris to ne
gotiate an agreement. But the
deal broke down, presumably be-
cause he asked for too much in
dependence.
Fighting has continued since
1916, with the French often hold
ing secure control only of the
major cities in Indo-C China. France
is worried about the situation
also because of effects it might
have in Morocco, Tunisia and
other territories where there are
independence movements, but no
fighting.

Indo-Chinn
Continued From First PageD

NCOnClnueQ from FlrSG PageJ
afternoon press announced Mos
cows decision. The independent
paper, LIE Monde, which some
times reflects official Foreign Office
opinion, said "the Soviet decision
makes the peninsula the theater
of an eventual international con-
f1ict."
The paper predicted real tension
of Franco-Soviet relations.
Paul Reynaud, premier at the
time of the 1910 defeat, now a
right-wing deputy in the National
Assembly, said "Ho Chi-minh is a
former pupil of the anti-colonial-
ist school in Moscow. In Indo-
China he has followed the policy
of the Soviets. The only thing
that surprises me is that Moscow
waited SO long to recognize him. +"
(The Soviet announcement
came only few hours after a
report from Washington said
Secretary of State Acheson had
sent greetings to Bao Dai, ex-
pressing the hope of establish
ing closer relations. Diplomatic
officials in. London said yester-
day that Britain will recognize
the Bao Dai government next
week and the United States
probably would follow suit.
(Ho Chi-minh's guerrilla
forces have been fighting the
French in Indo-China since De-
cember 10. 1916, and control
most of the sea coast. The
French created the rival Wet
Nam government, covering 40
per cent of Indo-C China and
most of the areas 10000, 900
population.
Population Control Cited. =
The Tass description. of Ho
Chi-minh's Viet-Nam Republic
said it controls 80 per cent of the
ndo-Chinese population and that
the areas occupied by the French
contain only 100000 of the coun-
try's population. ~
The Soviet attitude toward Ho
Chi-minh has been made clear in
frequent articles in the Soviet
press, which has predicted unani-
mously that his forces will free the
country of French troops.
The announcement of the recog-
milton came just after a delega-
tion from Sinkiang, China's west
ernmost province bordering on the
Soviet UniolI. arrived in Moscow
to take part in Soviet Chinese
negotiations for an alliance.
Sinkiang is one of the four
North China areas which Secre-
tary of State Acheson has charged
Russia with seeking to annex. So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vlshinsky and Chinese Commu-
mist leaders-including Mao TIE
tung and Foreign Minister Chou
En-lai, who are both in Moscow
for the Soyiet-Chines negotia-
tions-have ridiculed this charge
as entirely false.

Swift Congress Action
To Help South Korea,
Formosa Indicated
BY the Associated Press

Administration leaders cleared
the way today for swift congress
sional action on proposals for adj
ditional economic aid to South
Korea and FormoSa.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and the House Foreign
Affairs Committee both scheduled
meetings to consider the proposals.
Chairman Connally of the Sem
ate group told a reporter he did
not expect any serious opposition
to a $28.000,000 aid program for
Formosa. The Senate already is
on record in favor of Korea aid.
Secretary of State Acheson gave
his approval yesterday to a House
proposal to wrap Korea -Formosa
aid into one package for quick
handling. Earlier, he had favored
keeping the two programs sepa-
rated.
The House recently voted down
a sec, 900 900 Korea aid bill by a
one-vote margin. But administra-
ton leaders are hopeful the House
will do an about-face since For
mosa aid now has been included.
Chairman Kee said the House
Foreign Affairs Committee prob
ably will approve Korea-For-
mosa aid bill in quick order.
Congress can approve the For
mosa aid merely with a resolution
extending from February IS to
June 80 the deadline on spending
funds voted last year for aid to
China. About $l06,000.000 re-
main in their unspent funds.
The Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration wants about $28, 8,000,-
600 of this to help the Chinese
NationalistS on Formosa.
But none of the money would
be used on the mainland of China,
which now is almost completely
controlled by Chinese Communists.
Secretary Acheson told House
members that failure to help
Korea economically. would, be
most unfortunate. He argued
that denial of aid would be a blow
to the young Republic of Korea
and to all of Southeast Asia look
ing for United States support
against communism.

PARIS, Jan. 31.-Russia' rec
ognition of Ho Chi-minh's rebel
government in Indo-C China may
eventually turn that stormy land
of jungle and rice paddles into
another East West hot spot like
Greece.
But it is Moscow and Wash
ington that will make the final
decision: Whether to pour arms
directly into Indo-China in sup
port of rival governments there,
At stake is the rich rubber, rice
and minerals producing area OF
Southeast Asia. Indo China
under French colonial influence
since 1887. is the gateway through
which Communism could spread
from China to Thailand (Siam)
Malaga, Burma, Indonesia and
even India.
Moscow. by formally backing
the Ho Chi-minh regime that has
waged effective guerrilla warfare
for three years. has taken the
diplomatic initiative and certain
ly has caught the French fiat
footed. 1t remains to be seen how
the United States Government
and Britain will react. @
The issues in Indo- China are
not as clear-cut as they were in
Greece, whose n-Communist
government finally seems to have
subdued the Red-led rebellion
there. The fighting that has been
raging in Indo-C China is not prop
erly called a civil war in the sense
that brother is pitted against
brother. The situation is more
akin to that existing in Indo-
nesia before the Dutch agreed to
an independent republic.
May Become Powder Keg.
France is foreign power, an
occupying power. to most of the
Indo- Chinese. The fighting is
largely Indo- Chinese against
French, whereas in the Mediter-
ranean it was mostly Greek
against Greek.
But if world communism chooses
to try to make Indo- China the
breakthrough point into South
east Asia. the situation is much
like the attempt to extend COM
munism into the strategic Medi-
terranean.
If Russian-backed Communists
try to extend diplomacy into
armed intervention, Indo- China
may become a powder keg whose
explosion would shake the entire
Orient.
The political background in
Indo-China has shown much
French fumbling. Three years ago
France recognized the Nationalist
regime of the same Moscow
trained Ho Chi-mirih who has just
received Moscow's blessing. Ho
apparently demanded too much
for the French to grant and fight
