Against Korea or |ndo-China
Miqht Lead to War in China
Secretary Seeks
To Point Up U. S.
Aims in Advance
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-Secre-
tary of State Dulles solemnly
warned the Communist world
today that Red Chinese aggres-
sion against Korea or Indo-
China might provoke war by the
West against China itself.
In doing so, he appeared to be
laying down a new Government

policy of telling potential ag-
gressorS in advance where the
United States will fight to pro-
tect its security.
The Chinese Communists must
now realize, he said, that "they
could no longer count" on the
privileged sanctuary of Man
churian air and supply bases in
the event they renew aggression
against South Korea.
AS for Indo- China, the secre-
tary noted in a foreign policy
speech before the Ameri-
can Legion Convention that
Communist China is training,
equipping and supplying Com
munist rebels in Indo-China.
Cites Risk of War.
Mr.. Dulles then declared:
There is the risk that, as in
Korea, Red China might send
its own army into Indo-China.
The Chinese Communist regime
should realize that such a sec
ond aggression could not occur
without grave consequences
which might not be confined to
Indo-China.
"I say this soberly in the in
terest of peace and in the hope
of preventing another aggressor
miscalculation."
Mr.. Dulles told the veterans
the Korean war has taught the
United States "a lesson which
we expect to apply in the inter-
est of future peace" The lesson,
he said, is this:
eff events are likely which will
in fact lead us to fight, let us
make clear our intention in ad-
vance; then we shall probably
not have to fight"
AggreSsOrs' MiscalculatiOn.
He said many informed people
think that both World War II
and the Korean conflict came
about because the aggressors
miscalculated and thought that
the Americans would not fight.
The Korean fighting has estab-
lished, he said, that "aggressors
hostile to the free world can not
go on enlarging themselves by
the conquest of small nations,
until they become bloated with
power and busy with success"
In cautioning against possible
new Communist aggression
against South Korea, Mr.. Dulles
noted that the United States and
its Is United Nations allies in
Korea have jointly declared that
any violation of the armistice
would cause grave consequences
which probably could not be con-
fined within the frontiers of Ko-
rea.
"Since $780," the Secretary
said. "the forces of aggression
have been supplied, equipped and
protected by air from unmoleSted
bases in China, just north of the
Yalu River.
"If, however, the Communists
desire to resume the war, they
now know that they could no
longer count on this privileged
sanctuary"
Expects Good Faith.
Looking ahead to the Korean
peace conference with the Com
munists. Mr.. Dulles again served
notice that Eve shall not sit in it
Indefinitely" If the Reds show
bad faith.
I'VE are always ready to nego-
tiate in good faith" he said, "but
we expect good faith to be mu-
tual. We shall not lend our
selves to Communist maneuvers
designed to win their end
through guile.
IF :. the conference is Sery-
ing no useful purpose we shall
expect to withdraw from the
conference"
Mr.. Dulles assured the Legion
naireS the United States would
seek at the peace parley mo
pretext for turning Korea into
a United States base on the
Asia mainland" He said the
American goal is a united, free
Korea, and that on details United
States thinking is flexible.
I'VE hope the Communists will
come to the conference in the
same spirit and not throw road
blocks in the way of achieving a
simple and fair result, in the in
terest of long-suffering Korean
people," he continued.
Would Talk About Indo- China.
Mr.. Dulles made it clear that
the United States would be will
ing to talk about Indo- China, if
the Chinese Communists desire
it, at the Korean peace confer
ence.
Mr.. Dulles chided the United
Nations for paying what he
termed too little attention to
South Korea's views in last weeks
debate on the makeup of the u. N.
peace delegation.
