Cabrera, veteran of 27-years on the police de-

CANBERRA. Australia. Aug

ter Richard q. Casey made q
fresh appeal today to Southeast
asian countries to join In col
lective defense Of their area
against Communist aggression.
Speaking to the House Of Rep
reSenTatives. he obviously adj
dressed his remarks to India,
Ceylon, Burma and Indonesia,
though he did not mention them
by name. India and Ceylon have
refused to attend Q preliminary
conference on the Southeast
Asia defense organization pro-
posed by the United States and
Britain, and Burma and Indo-
nesia are expected to follow In
dia's lead.
Mr.. Casey said he was swell
aware that Asian countries, hav-
ing just emerged from q peri&S
of outside domination, always
are on their guard lest proposals
for new international organiza-
tons should turn out to be !
subtle way Of imposing outside
domination once more. =
1.-THE fact remains" he de-
lclared. that the only threat OF
outside domination today comes
from aggressive Communist ex-
pansion, which seeks to swallow
! up other countries one by one,
subordinate them to the con-
troll from the world centers Of
communism. =
