State Department Statement
On Nixon Talk on Indo-C hinu

FOLLOWING is the tert of the
statement issued by State De-
partment Press Officer Jdme-
son Parker last night on
Vice President Nirop's remarks
about possible use OF United
States troops in Indo- China:
Certain remarks with regard
to United States policy toward
Indo- China have been attrib-
uted to a high Government
official The contents of the
speech referred to and questions
and answers which followed
were of the record, but a COM
plete report Of the speech has
been available to the State
Department.
editors note: The speech
was presented to the American
Society Of Newspaper Editors
meeting Friday as being not for
attribution to Mr.. Nixon. SUBJ
sequently Mr.. Nixon was pub
licly identified as that source.)
The speech enunciated no
new United States policy with
regard to Indo- China. It ex-
pressed full agreement with
and support for the policy with
respect to Indo-C China previ-
ously enunciated by the Presi-
dent and the Secretary Of
State.
That policy was authori-
tatively set forth by the Sec
rotary of State in his speech
of March 20, 1854. in which
he said:

day the imposition on South
east Asia of the political system
of Communist Russia and its
Chinese Communist ally, by
whatever means, would be a
grave threat to the whole
free community. The United
States feels that that posi-
bility should not be passively
accepted but should be met by
united action.
This might involve serious
risks. But these risks are far
less than those that win face
us a few years from now if we
dare not be resolute today"
In regard to a hypothetical
question as to whether United
States forces should be sent to
Indo- China in the event of
French withdrawal, the high
Government official categor-
ically rejected the premise of
possible French withdrawal.
Insofar as the use Of United
States forces In Indo- China
was concerned, he was stating
q course Of possible action
which he was personally pre-
pared to support under q
highly unlikely hypothesis.
The answer to the question
correctly emphasized the fact
that the interests Of the
United States and other free
nations are vitality involved
with the interests Of France
and the associated states in
resisting Communist domino
ton Of Indo-C China.

Labor Chief Urges
.AFL, Clio 10 Push
Non -Raiding Pact

A top AFL official yesterday
urged the AFL and CIO to go
ahead with a proposed peace pact
despite the fact some major AFL
unions are against it.
AL Hayes; president of the 700.-
0O0-member AFL M h in j S S
Union and an AFL vice president,
said if unions already willing to
go along would do so, despite the
holdoutS, a "no-raiding area"
covering about 10 million workers
could be established Immediately.
Raiding is the term applied to
the practice of persuading men,
bers of one union to transfer to
another. Both the AFL and CLIO
have been trying to stop it. An
armistice against the practice,
they said, is a necessary first step
toward an AFL-CIO merger.
Some Unions Reluctant.
Reluctance on the part of some
AFL unions to ratify the proposed
no-raiding plan - already APP
proved by the AFL and CIO con-
ventionS-is what has been hold
ing it up. Under the agreement,
any union claims to jurisdiction
over workers already organized
would be settled on binding
basis by a neutral judge.
Ever since the AFL reported
last February that only 40 of its
10 unions were willing to accept
the plan. interest in the idea has
been waning. The CLIO, which
had been ready to sign for viz
tually all it's unions, began to
lose interest, too. 50
However, Mr.. Hayes reported
that more than IS AFL unions
are willing to go along. This in

are the main sparkplugs of the

One of the major holdouts is

Our problems differ very little
from the problems of other
unions" Mr.. Hayes wrote. when
these problems are considered in
the aggregate they become in
significant and unimportant as
compared with the tremendous
price which we in the organized

Mansfield Is Critical.
But Senator Mansfield, Demo-
crat, of Montana, a member Of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said any American
Intervention in Indo- China"
might prove to be the start of
World War III" He also said
the administration had not kept
the committee and Congress
fully informed on the situation
in Indo-C China. Senator Mans
field spoke before a Cleveland
City Club forum.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Arkansas, asserted he opposes
sending troops to Indo- China.
He told a Little Rock meeting of
the Arkansas Wholesale Grocers
Association that the American
people are being prepared for
possible intervention.
Smathers Offers Plan.
Senator Smathers, Democrat,
of Florida, entered the debate
by presenting three-point pro-
gram which he declared "ab-
solutely essential" before the
United States makes further
commitments to the defense Of
that country. It follows:
/. Obtain a commitment from
France pledging independence
for the associated states of Indo-
China upon a certain future
date, just as the United States
did with Cuba and the Philip
pines when those countries were
protectorates.
2. Move definitely toward
bringing the Asiatic free nations
into a "Pan-Asiatic" mutual Sc
curity pact, similar to NATO in
Europe, and to pool their man.
power, resources and talent in
a united armed front against
Communism.
3. Put our enemies on notice
that If we are drawn into a war,
we are going in with everything
we have.

A promise of independence
for the Indo-Chinese, Senator
Smathers contended was a neces-
sary incentive to get them to put
up a winning fight.
Senator Monroney, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma, said he was not
ready to discuss the issue of pos
sible intervention in Indo- China,
but that certainly President
Eisenhower should lay all the
facts before Congress before
committing American armed
forces.
