CD 1t is an underhanded as
sault on IVA.
Senator Cooper is siding with
them. Unless he changes his
mind, he will probably end up
with q bunch Of Democrats,
the maverick LANCER and in
dependent Morse. The whole
situation is tailor-made for
Mr.. Barley.
There are two good clues to
Senator Cooper's problem.
One is the guest lists Of the
Eisenhower stag dinners. They
are loaded with the tycoons
from New York who dominate
utility boards Of directors.
The other is Mr.. Adams
himself, a former Governor of
a New England State, who
sat, simmered and suffered
while cheap iva power and
low wages siphoned textile
industries out Of the North
into the South. Alone of all
the great regions of this
country. the Yankees can't
get public power. Their leaders
have beaten Quoddy and for
a long time stopped the st.
Lawrence Seaway in its tracks.
Senators not on Senator
Cooper's side are uneasy about
the manner In which the
affair developed. They are
weary Of invisible government
at the White House, knowing
from experience 1t can cut
both ways.

than Munich. It also may have
more far reaching conse-
quences.
The fighting in Indo-C China
is about to end. and so are the
hopes for freedom of its 20
million people.
The deal was made across
the diplomatic table by nations
which claim to be defenders Of
freedom.
They sold their one-tiine
wards to the ruthless Commu-
mist dictatorship. They pro-
vided Communist China with
complete control over the
'.breadbasket of ASIA" and
also with strategic points in
the South Pacific. from where
they can eventually wage war
against the remaining free
nations. including the United
States. with greater expecta-
tions Of success.
The strategic Importance Of
Indo- China is so considerable
to us that when the japanese
early in 1941 began to move
toward that country, Secretary
OF State Cordell Hull sent q
stern note Of warning to
Tokyo.
Today. the peninsula has
more Importance than in the
past. Japan, which we are now
striving to keep on our side,
depends to q large extent for
her food on rice imports from
Indo-C China.
France and Great Britain,
with our approval. have
handed the richest portion Of
Wet Nam to the Communists.
It won't be long before Peiping
tells the Japanese to give up
their association with the
United States or else they will
suffer unbearable economic
consequences.
What puzzles many Ameri-
can observers is the reason
which prompted sending such
a high-ranking diplomat as
Undersecretary Of State Walter
Bedell Smith back to Geneva.

fore begging the United States

Indo-C China could have been
kept from the Communists If
the French had been willing to
internationalize the war. But,
while outwardly they wanted
American military aid. actu-
ally they feared it would pro-
long their own participation.
Premier Mendes- France came
into Office to liquidate an al
ready bad situation. The
French nation had wearied Of
eight years of war and was
ready to call it quits. The
Premier announced to the
world that he was ready to!
make a deal and the Comrnu-
rlists exacted a high price.
So now. with Red China in
the process of virtually an
nexing North Korea In def.
ance of the u. N. resolution
declaring her an aggressor and
with d virtual annexation Of
the rich areas of Indo- China.
the Communist coalition Is
advancing to its biggest tri-
umph. The net effect on Ja-
pan and on Indonesia. Burma
and Thailand win be as dis
couraging as it will be to the
enslayed peoples of Poland,
Czechosloyakia, Bulgaria. Ro-
mania. Hungary, Latvia, Lith-'
uania and Estonia all Of
which just q few years ago
We're free countries.
Plainly the trend in Europe
on the part of Americas allies
is toward further surrender to
Communist imperialism. This
is ominous because some day
the allies will wake up to the
imperative need of taking a
stand. The Communists will
think it is a bluff. as they have
regarded every action of re-
cent months. In the end. a
third world war can come be-
cause there will be no. way to
avoid a showdown Of arms.
The Indo- China truce. like the
so-called peace at Munich,
may not prove a harbinger of
peace but q precursor Of war.
It is an hour of great tragedy
for the free world.

Communist colonialism is
about to be substituted for
French colonialism in Indo-
China. That's the story in
brief Of the biggest defeat
the free world has suffered
since the bungling of the
Truman-Acheson administra-
ton lost China through the
withdrawal of moral support
from the Chinese Nationalist
government at a critical
moment.
Now 10 million people are
to be handed over to the
Communists in Vietnam and
another IL million will come
under Communist control in
a few months in the rest Of
the area. along with the rich
rice-growing delta and other
natural resources of tremen-
dous Importance in the march
Of Communist Imperialism.
The governments Of France
and Britain helped to engineer
what amounts to a Hateful
surrender. The United States
is disassociating itself from the
settlement but, in difference to
its allies. has given the wholly
superf1uous promise that it
will not attempt to disturb
the agreement.
Peace" said Secretary of
State Dulles at the opening of
the Geneva Conference on
April % last, ais always easy
to &C hieye-by surrender.
Unity is also easy to achieve
by surrender. The hard task,
the task that confronts us, is
to combine peace and unity
with freedom"
There viii be signs Of relief
that the eight-year war in
Indo-C China is over. There were
similar signs Of relief when
the Korean arlnistice was
signed last year and, indeed,
there were similar expressions
Of popular satisfaction In 1888
when the Chamberlain govern
nent made the deal with Hit
Ter whereby q large segment
of Czechoslovakian territory
