well-founded fears, however,
that this may be only a tenn
porary suspension. Resumption
Of hostilities may occur If we
refuse to recognize the Peiping
regime.
In the meantime, the Com
munist offensive is now in full
blast in Indo-C China where Chi
nese and Soviet strategists are
directing Wet Mimi guerrillas
and are attempting to win a
spectacular victory. This would
put the Communists in the
drivers seat at the Geneva con-
ference.
There seems to be little doubt
that the administration will
comply with the French re-
quest for more Bog bombers
and an additional number Of
transport planes for the airlift
to the encircled Laotian for
tress. Such support could con-
ceivably improve the local Sit
uation temporarily. But as a
long-range strategy the French
will need much more support
than war material if we want
them to continue to fight the
Reds in Indo-China. They
have their eye on the Marine
division which is about to be
withdrawn from Korea.
The French argument seems
logical. They point out that
since recognition of China by
the United States is loathsome
to the American people,
Frances recognition of the Pei
ping regime would create an
unfavorable reaction in this
country.
But the French government
is under strong pressure at
home to put an end to the
drain caused by the Indo-
China war even if it means
giving up that area. The only
thing that could change that
popular feeling would be di-
rect Intervention by the United
States with military units in
addition to the present finan-
cial assistance and military
equipment. After nearly eight
years of struggle the French

fire Of criticism which Tru-
man-AcheSon policy always
evoked. they are by no means
out of the woods. Admiral
Radford is carrying on ably
and his prestige will quiet
many doubters. but the State
Department will have to take
over the showdown sessions at
Geneva next month when the
Chinese Communists will be
present.
Senators so far are indi-
eating a certain reluctance to
associate themselves with those
sessions. All the conversations
about senatorial representa-
ton have been at arms length;
it will be possible for Mr..
Dulles, if he finds he must go
alone, to contend he didn't
ask any one to accompany
him. Nonetheless, preliminary
moves have been made and
their results suggest that there
is not going to be any spirited
contest for the privilege of
sitting at the Secretary of
States right hand at Geneva.
1t is fair to add that the
Geneva conference will CO.
incide with the start of the
real work load In Congress.
In a Senate where the ad-
ministration enjoys only a
technical majority, there will
naturally be hesitation about
permitting absentees.
A suggestion has been made
that a bipartisan pair of
senatorial kibitzers be named

there is really no reason why
busy Senators should spend
long and dreary hours listen
ing to the usual Communist
drivel.
The fact still is that the
spirit of bipartisanship which
induced the late Senator
Vandenberg and former Sena-
tor Connally to sacrifice long
hours to uphold the Sec
rotary Of State at internation-
al conferences has been wholly
dissipated. In such endeav-
or, Vandenberg sacrificed
his health. Connally his po-
iitical fortunes.
That mood vanished in the
bitter partisan warfare on
Dean Acheson as the presi-
Dental election neared. Now
the midterm elections are in

that the President can re-
create it. even if he tries. He

cans are not. In any out

ize. The other day a promi-
nent Protestant clergyman in
a nationally known church in
New York attacked the Catho-
lie Church as giving birth to
such men as Mccarthy. This
regrettable assault on the
Catholic religion was promptly
repudiated editorially by two
very important newspapers
which have been bitterly OPP
posed to Senator Mccarthy
but who deplored the raising
Of this issue.
Some of the big Protestant
church organizations have
lately been getting into the
fray with resolutions that bor-
der closely on church interven-
ton in politics. The lack of
restraint on the part of the
critics is cause for concern.
Senator McCarthy's views or
his attitude in committee work
can hardly be made the basis
Of his expulsion from the Sem
ate despite the fact that he has
incurred enmities by his vigor-
Gus fight against Communists
in the Government. Some of
the critics are indulging in the
same smear tactics and the
same intolerance which they
attribute to congressional COM
mittee hearings. Examining
some of the expressions of
opinion one reads or hears
against Mccarthy. it might APP
pear that Senators can be
thrown out of the Senate just
because they utter unpopular
views. It seems to be forgot
ten that anything a Senator
chooses to say at a committee
hearing. he can also say in a
speech on the floor of the Sem
ate. and there Is no rule by
which he can be punished for
freedom of expression.
Not so many years ago Sem
ator Helm, Democrat, of Ala

rose to say he should be ex-
PEELED from the Senate or dis

have been many excuses on
the part of members of Con-

by investigating committees,

French Crisis in Far East
Congress, Wary Of Geneva Conference, Is Playing
Honds off, Hoping Mr. Dulles VIII Go 1t Alone

Congress Is sitting back and
watching to see which horn
of the Indo-China dilemma
the Eisenhower administration
will impale itself on.
The visit here this week Of
Gen. Paul Ely. chairman Of the
French Joint Chiefs Of Staff,
substantiates what Congress
already suspected. It is that
matters have reached the point
where the United States must
give the French a great deal
more help with all that it
might mean or stand aside and
let them make the best deal
they can with the Communists.
The State Department has
already cast it's vote in favor
of the help. It has now re-
treated to the rear and pushed
forward Admiral Arthur Rad
ford, chairman ,of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff, to do the ac-
tual negotiating and act as
front man for the policy. The
admiral has been at the White
House steadily the past few
days and Mondays helped to
brief the congressional leaders.
The theory is that Congress
can be induced to do more in
the name of defense than of
diplomacy.
So far, this has been noted
with a minimum of offstage
muttering on the Hill. Veteran
Senators assign the respon-
sibility to President Eisen-
hover and predict that even
If complaints arise, he can
sustain in Congress any pro-
gram of action to which he
will give his name.

the conclusion that France
cannot put an end to the war
by herself. Indo-C China does
not have the same security
meaning for France as it has
for the United States. Hence.
the French government cannot
justify an about effort to
continue the struggle by send
ing large metropolitan military
forces to that former colony.
The rushing of more Aineri-
can planes may be sufficient to
save the Diem Bien Phu for
treSs. but will not end the
fighting. The Indo-C Chinese
problem can be solved either
automatically by what will
amount to a Western surren-
der at the Geneva conference,
where France is ready to &C
cept the Soviet terms to rec
ognize China, or by a strong
military action which will in
all probability involve the di-
rect Intervention of Chinese
Communist troops in the af-
fray.
1t is highly unlikely that the
United Nations will approve
a motion to intervene in the
Indo-C Chinese war. The bulk Of
its members will be very care
full this time not to be drawn
into another Korean affair.
The French seem to think,
however, that our new look
policy" might permit us to
come to their support actively
without the approval of that
international body. In any
event. the French propose to
place their position squarely
before us: Either they make
their own terms with the Com
muniSts by accepting their de-
mands at Geneva or we pledge
our unlimited support in the
defense Of the Pacific which at
present is centered in the con-
f1ict in Indo-C China. They do
not see a third proposition.

Democratic Presidents have

The Democrats have played
the game shrewdly. They
knew that the Truman hold

The Democrats think they

came from Democrats who

can thank his critics for the
