The campaign in Indo- China

financially and in manpower.
The military situation improved
last year after Frances ablest
field commander, the swash-
buckling Gen. Jean de Lattre de

Up to the time we agreed to

hope for more than to hold their
position somewhere along the
38th Parallel.
The administration has or

placed on the top priority list,
