WASHINGTON a. - the Eisen-
hover administration talked tough
but, it appears now, never had a
prepared plan to help the French
if they faced disaster in Indochina
at the hands of the Communicated
Vietmirh.
The tough talk didn't stop the
Communists. Secretary of State
Dulles didn't come up with plan
until the French did face disaster.
So far his plan hasn't worked.
When the Korean truce was
signed last summer, Dulles TO
cused American and world atten-
ton on Indochina, where the
French had been fighting the Wet
mimi seven years.
On Sept. 2 he warned the Com
munist Chinese not to send their
troops into Indochina. Such ag-
gression, he said, could not occur
without grave consequences which
might not be confined to Indo.
china
If this was intended to warn the
Chinese they might be bombed in
China if they sent an army into
Indochina, it overlooked a reality:
they didn't have to send in an
Army.
The native Indochinese rebels
were willing to fight and die. They
needed supplies and expert direc-
ton and help. The Chinese sent in
supplies and specialists. A few
weeks ago Dulles said they had
sent in 1000 specialists. Dulles
hadn't said what this country
would do in a case like that.
