BY JOHN N. HIcHToWER

WASHINGTON Up - The nego.
uated end of the war in Indochina
r. generally regarded here as a
victory for the Communists and
o defeat for the free world.
1t halts a direct billion-dollar-a "a.
year drain of money and arms on
the United States.
But it also creates an urgent
need to shore. up non Communist
areas of Southeast Asia which viii
almost certainly impose new bur-
dens on this country and its allies
and absorb some or all of the Indo-
china savings.
U. S. government officials have
been talking with French leaders
for several weeks about getting out
Of Red areas all arms and equip
ment which French and native
ant-Communist forces have been
equipped with. 1t is understood the
French have given assurances this
will be done.
1t was learned, meanwhile, that
the American and Allied govern
ments are planning shortly to is
sue declarations of intent to form
eventually collective defense for
Southeast Asia and warning the
Communists not to undertake any
new aggression in that area. Such
action has been discussed with
number of friendly governments
and reports today were that it had
been substantially agreed upon.
The United States and Britain,
however, are still divided over the
timing of actual formation. Author
tiles estimate it will be many
months before the projected de-.
tense system can be set up. The
United States would have preferred
quicker action but Britain is anx-
ious to hold the cooperation of In
dia to the fullest extent possible
and consequently has been NOV
ing cautiously.
American officials studying the
Indochina settlement signed today
said privately its impact will reach
far beyond Southeast Asia and
probably will be felt throughout
the whole range of relations be-
tween the Communist and nom
Communist blocs.
Here are some of the potential
results which may develop:
Red China-Authorities here ex-
pect that the French government
Of Premier Pierre Mendes-France,
having succeeded in ending the
Indochina war, will soon recognize
the Communist China regime as
Britain has done. This is expected
to increase pressure for eventually
seating Red China in the United
Nations over U. S. opposition.
European Defense Community
Mendes-France has promised to
place the edo Treaty before the
French Assembly for vote prior
to adjournment next month. But
French opposition to German re.

pact remains strong. Also, it may

china fighting will lessen the dan
