if a peaceful solution can be
worked out here. But the
French are up against the gun
figuratively and literally in
Indo-China. and they are, on
the one hand, begging for
more military help from Amer
ica and, on the other. they
are flirting with the idea of
stalemate settlement such as
was made in Korea.
The fall of Dien Bien Phu
could be important and deci-
sive if the French choose to
regard it that way. But they
run the risk of losing Ameri-
can support in Europe. If they
accept defeat and agree to a
partition of Indo-China, it
can only mean surrender to
the Communists in the eyes of
the American Government. If
that happens, then the historic
phrase of Secretary Dulles
predicting "an agonizing re-
appraisal" of Americas pro-
gram of help for Europe will

lines. The French know this
and so do the Soviets. 1t
presents, therefore, a dilemma
which is not easy to solve, and
hence the American approach
offers one sensible way out
with honor.
The way out is to form a
Southeast Asia collective
organization just as the North

functions for Europe. Secre-
tary Dulles has been pressing
the idea vigorously. 1t means
that. if such a collective group
is formed and stands ready to
repel aggression in Southeast
Asia. an allied organization
similar to that which inter-
vened in Korea to repel Com

and French top military men
was that the Muscovites would
be impressed by such unity
and become more reasonable
at the Geneva parley.
The British and French
governments turned us down.
Yet only shortly after this re-
buff to Mr.. Dulles. Frances
Foreign Minister Georges BIZ
dault appealed frantically for
American air wings and divi-
sions to take the French off
the hook in Indo-China. 1t
was almost a verbatim repeat
Of the cable which Premier
Paul Reynard sent. to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in May. 1910,
asking for "swarms" of Amer
lean planes to save France
from the Nazis.
Our allies do not seem to be
aware of the limitation of
power on our Chief Executive.
1t may be that the many Eek
ecutive agreements" INDUCED
in by the predecessors of Pres
ident Eisenhower give our
friends the idea that the in
cumbent of the White House
could comply with such re-
quests without asking first for
congressional approval. And
the mood of Congress to in
volve this country in another
military campaign at Frances
bidding is not favorable. The
French Parliament has done
nothing to win American good
will.
Our Government and Con-
greSs, which has the final word
in any future assistance. are
irked because of the deter
mined opposition of the Ma
tional Assembly to the EDO.
If Europe is to have an effec-
tive defense based on her own
forces and not on American
ground troops it must permit
Germany to rearm and place
her divisions in a European
army. Germany has done
everything in her power to
comply with this necessity and
it stands ready to start draft
ing some 100000 men for the
European force. All its plans
are still in the blueprint form
because the French Parlia-

ment seems opposed to that
military pact.
We have become accustomed
to dispensing billions to i'm
prove the lot of our allies be-
cause we figure that their
strength means a greater Sc
curity for ourselves and also
a further deterrent to Red ag-
gresSiveneSs. But so far we
have not received even lip
service to our earnest and
urgent pleas for Western unity.
There are increasing fears in
Washington that after the
Geneva Conference is we'll
under way the Western unity"
will become so threadbare that
the Russian and Chinese Com
munistS will be encouraged to
walk all over us. There is little
wonder that in the face of the
attitude of our French and
British allies to whom we have
given our unStinting support
for the last Is years men such
as Senator Edwin johnson Of
Colorado should protest vio-
lently against the idea that
American soldiers be sent to
fight in the Indo-Chinese
JungleS.
There is no doubt that our
own safety demands that we
secure that area before the
Reds have taken it over. But
the selfish attitude of France
and Britain throughout the
Korean campaign; Frances
attitude toward the edo;
Frances refusal to give COM
plete freedom to the peoples
of Wet Nam, Cambodia and
Laos; and Britain's and
Frances refusal to heed at the

change Of mood in Congress
and in the country on full CO.
operation with our two Euro
pean allies. And without that
full cooperation it is doubt
full how long each individual
Western power will be able to
survive the Red peril.
The Western democracies
became united against the
Central Powers in the First
World War; they were united,
belatedly. against the Axis in
the Second World War. But
there are no indications what
soever that they are willing to
be united in time now, when
we may be on the threshold
Of a third world war.

If there ever was a time
when Western unity was es-
sential for the survival of free
nations. this unquestionably
is it. The Red octopus has
already gripped some 800 mil
lion peoples. 1t now stands
ready to extend it's tentacles

tegic area of unequaled i'm
portance because of its posi-
ton astride the Pacific and
Indian Oceans and its wealth
of raw materials.
But while there is strong
unity between the Reds in the
U. S. S. r. and those in China
who dominate hundreds of
millions of enslaved peoples.
there is hardly any harmony
between the peoples of the
West, whose fate may be de-
cided in the Far East.
The French are belatedly
asking us for immediate as
sistance. We have helped them
literally with money and ma
terrell in the last two years.
They now want also Ameri-
can fighting men. They COM
plain once more that America
is coming to their rescue too
late and with too little. Our
temperamental allies whom
most Americans want to as

ticular Indo-China instance
it is they themselves who make
our all-out help difficult.
After lengthy consultation
with the White House, the Ma
tional Security Council and
some congressional leaders.
Secretary Dulles produced a
formula which would have
permitted us to take a hand
in ndo-China. an area con-
sidered by Washington Of
greater immediate Importance
to us than to the rest of the
allies. This formula consisted
Of the creation of a 'NATO' in
the Pacific on the same basis
as the North Atlantic Pact.
Congressional passage of such
a coalition was assured since
Congress recognizes that the
Western Pacific is at least as
important to our national Sc
curity as the North Atlantic.
But no sooner did Mr.. Dulles
inform London and Paris of
our plan than the British and
