Truce Terms

Apparently q vast complex of
agreements was signed at Geneva by
the French, Wet Mimi, Wet Namese,
Laotians and Cambodians. Only the
broadcast strokes of the armistice and
political settlements have been
sketched out for the world so far.
Most of these are based on the eight
nation declaration at the final ses-
sion of the conference. The United
States. ninth country participating,

So far as can be determined.
agreements for each of the three
former Associated States covered
two principal points, territorial ar
engagements in connection with the
cease-fire. and political adjustments
intended to establish mutually agree
able governments in the next two
years.

Red Motives

Once 1t has been said, however,
that the Reds could hardly be dis
pleased with the bargain they got.
it should be added that there are
many reasons to wonder why the
Communists were so relatively ami
cable. They actually settled for half
a loaf.
It is hard to find a close observer
of the Indo-China situation who
does not think that the Wet Mimi
could have taken all of Wet Nam
as well as Laos and Camhodia-b
applying more military pressure Of
the Diem Bien Phu caliber. True.
it would have cost the Reds some
manpower and equipment. But
these have never been obstacles for
the Communists in the past.
Another riddle: The senior mem
Der Of the Red firm at Geneva. For
eign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov,
has always rated the European De-
Tense Community his Al priority
for destruction. But by giving M.
Mendes-France peace in Indo-
China, he has helped the new Pre-
mier keep himself in power. M.
Mendes-France is basically in favor
of edo, although he finds objection
to some of its details. Isn't Mr..
Molotoy taking bigger gamble by
helping Mendes-France stay in
power than he would by denying
him peace in Indo-C China and prac-
tically assuring his fall?
These are some of the thoughts
that have world diplomatic circles
wondering: Why did the Reds agree
to truce now?
The Wet Mini were the least
eager for peace. That much is clear
from their attitude at Geneva. But
they obviously had no choice. They
rely on Red Chinese training and
equipment to produce their armies.

The Red Chinese had two good

they need time for internal develop

pansion programs are worrying

Social Security

After the Senate Finance Com
mittee finished work on the social
security bill last week, it was clear
that the President would soon be
putting another large check mark on
the legislative progress chart deco
rating the White House Office wall.
But the check would not be recorded
with all the enthusiasm President
Eisenhower had hoped for.

tions.

enrollees to million persons, how
ever. Self employed persons. such
as doctors. dentists, engineers and
lawyers were removed. But cover
age of farm workers was extended.
The Senate version retained

Senate floor action will come next.
Then q compromise with the more
liberal House bill will be worked out.

Reaction

Britain's Anthony Eden, one Of the
principal figures in the conference,
believes the achievement Of peace
in Indo- China averted the danger
of q third world war.
Both Russia's Molotov and China's
Chou En-lai were exhilarated by
the result. They spoke. too. Of the
relaxation of international tensions
in hopeful terms. Chou invited the
Colombo powers (India, Pakistan,
Ceylon, Burma and Indonesia). to
associate themselves with the agree
ment and spoke of Asian nations
working out their own problems
from now on. Both Chou and Molo-
tov indicated they were eager for
another try at winding up the Ko-
rean problem. Presumably they
would like to arrange nationwide
elections there under the supervi-
sion of a veto-ridden commission
like the one which will oversee the
mdo-C China voting.
Rejecting Red China's jaunty,
'peace-loving" mood. a swarm Of
Hainan based fighters knocked
down British airliner bound from
Bangkok to Hong Kong last Friday.
Three American passengers were
killed, three others were taken from
waters close to Hainan after the
burning ship ditched. The United
States angrily rushed two aircraft
carriers to the vicinity to cover the
search for other survivors. Britain
protested In Peiping.
The United States could not hide
its gloom over the high price that
had been paid-and will inevitably
be paid in the coming months for
the armistlce. But it tried to be q
good sport about it. President Eisen-
hover said Wednesday the agree
ment contains features which we
do not like" but the United States
will not use force to disturb the
settlement" In Geneva, American
Delegate Walter Bedell Smith made
a sidelines declaration dissociating
his country from all agreements ex-
cept the one about consulting to-
gether again in case Of emergency.
He did not even approve the
passages of the conference declara-
ton which proclaimed Wet Nam,
Cambodia and Laos completely free
and independent of France.
Lurking In the back of his mind
was the old apprehension expressed
by an ancient Oriental proverb: II

that has been asked to police the

in the next two years that many
expect the temporary" partition to
solidify, as 1t has in Germany and
Korea.
The agreement brought an end,
or at least q break, to TX years of
bloody conflict that was part civil
war, part Communist aggression.
Outcome Undisputed
For once the truce evoked no
argument about who won. All hands
agreed that the Communists had
achieved their greatest victory over
the free world since the cold war
began.
The Vests only solace was that
the bloodshed had been stopped.
There had been 100000 casualties,
two-thirds of them on the Commu-

ancholy triumph for French Premier
Pierre Mendes-France, who had
taken his job a month before with
the promise that he would get an
Indo-C China peace with henor' by
midnight Tuesday or resign. APP
parently he considered he had pre-
served his country's honor by win
ming 800 days for the Franco-Viet
Namese troops, French colonial fam
lilies, their Eurasian progeny and
other friends to leave Northern Wet
Nam.
lndo Chino Reaction
Reactions from the people in Indo-
China were mixed. Wet Namese flags
were flown at half mast to mourn
the partition. Both pro and anti
Communists oppose it.
But few shed any tears for the
demise of French colonialism,
shamed and apparently on the way
out now even in Southern Wet Nam,
Laos and Cambodia. Many in North,
Wet Nam, however, especially the 2.5
million Catholics, feared they had
lodged snake only to step on a
scorpion. Communism could be a
more deadly cure than the COLO
