Dorothy Thompson
u. S. Poro|yzed at Geneva
Revised Arms Policy, Designed Only for q General We
Tied Dulles Hands Against Action in Indo-C China

for strictly limited other areas,
such as Western Europe.
The adoption of the changed
military program logically i'm
piled political consequences.
1t implied. to put it blunt
ly, that the United States was
returning to some degree of
iSolationiSm.
In conflicts where one is
determined not to engage ones
armed forces, the alternate role
that q great power can play is
that Of more or less neutral
diplomacy. One can seek to
keep a conflict localized and to
reach a negotiated settlement.
But that Is incompatible
with a crusade to extirpate
communism from the world.
Now, the Secretary of State,
I think, has accepted this re-
atty in his own logical mind.
So have our European asso-
ciates. And If Mr.. Dulles had
entered the Geneva Confer
ence determined and able to
represent this policy, the al
lies might-and probably would
have been united. But a
large part of Congress and
many members Of the admin
istration itself, among them
Admiral Radford, chairman Of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, Vice
President Nixon and Senate
Majority Leader Knowland.
have publicly shown that they
do not accept it.
Therefore Mr.. Dulles-and
the same would have held true
for any Secretary of State
Evening star., 1954-05-10

entered the Geneva Conference
with his hands tied.
He could not commit the
United States to decisive mill
tary intervention in Indo.
China, for the United States
military policy and condition
were not geared to that kind
of war.
He could not negotiate a set
tlement which would mean
further losses to communism
because that would be branded
at home as "appeasement."
Therefore. all he could 90
was. in effect, to withdraw
from the conference, in which
the United States has demon
strated paralysis.
When a great power can
make neither peace nor war.
its role as a world leader be-
comes fictitious.
During the whole Geneva
Conference, the Secretary of
the Army. Robert Stevens, has
been utterly unable to have a
lucid thought or make any
contribution whatever to the
solution of Americas gigantic
dilemma, as day after day he
has faced the inquisition Of his
critics.
The scandal has pointed up.
for all the world to see, the
collapse of American dignity.
prestige, and unity. and with
it the further immobilization
of American power.
And the Russians did not do
this to us.

mering Of the Chinese Com
munists. But the damage was
repaired when the enemy re-
ceived a bloody nose later
which prevented him from
exploiting his victory and put
him on the defensive. He was
saved from q military disaster
which was in store for him in
June 1851 only by the Rus
sian-suggested armistice which
we accepted under the prod
ding of our European allies.
The Asiatic nations were
stunned by our setback. The
Red stock was high for a short
time. But it fell again when
the United Nations forces
showed that they were ready
to take the offensive once more.
No such possibility exists in
Indo- China. The French de-
feat is final not because France
and her allies cannot muster
the necessary strength to re.
cover their military position.
but because the will to resist
has apparently disappeared in
Western Europe.
Nobody in Washington fore
sees the effect of the fall Of
Diem Bien Phu on the rest Of
Indo-China. The Wet Mini
offensive was intended to place
a powerful diplomatic weapon
in the hands Of the Soviet and
Chinese delegates at Geneva.
We must wait a few months
before the results of the West
ern defeat can be seen in
1ndonesia, Siam, Malaga and
Burma. But there are strong
suspicious that the spectacular
Red victory will be fully ex-
plotted by Moscow and Peiping.
The Government in WASH
ington is taking every step to
cope with a situation which is
feared most: A Red drive to
complete domination of South
east Asia.

dent of the United States,
whoever he may be; and that
it percheS also above the door
of Congress for the party in
power.
It Is obviously q comfort to
know that somebody else now
realizes that and shares it,
now that the band music has
long ago died away for Gen.
Eisenhower and his party and
they are, as were Harry Tru-
man and the Democrats, hard
up against the realities. It
must help to wipe away the
memory Of the cruel jibes to
which the ex-President was
subjected, the misunderstand-
ing Of his aims and purposes.
It plainly sweetened the bus
mans holiday which brought
him back here again for his
speech to the National Press
Club.
It was left to him to save the
Jefferson-Jackson Dinner
and he did that. He was his
old, pungent, down-to-earth
self in the informal talk he
made to the $100-a-pIate din
ers, but with that extra touch
of inspiration he can always
invoke as he speaks with SIM
pie eloquence of the role of
leadership of our Nation in the
world today. He had at the
dinner only one sharp word,
but it was something he had
to say. That was a warning
against alternating our allies.
He was the first of the
principal speakers at the din
ner. which seemed bad ar

rangement. For after him the
affair slowly wilted to an anti
climax, just another dinner
addressed by politicians. There
was one speech after another
by party stalwarts, perhaps as
solid and substantial as it is
possible for political speeches
to be, but uninspired mostly
and with only an occasional
touch Of wit to relieve the
customary catalogue Of party
virtues and the crimes and
misdemeanors of the opposi-
ton. The light touch was sup
piled chiefly by Senator Lyndon
Johnson Of Texas, Senate
Minority Leader.
AS the oratory droned on,
Evening star., 1954-05-10

there was an unspoken wish
that Adlai Stevenson were here
to lift the affair up. A sample
was all that was available, his
message that was read by
Senator Douglas, Democrat, of
Illinois, just enough to whet
the appetite, and to remind
of the voice that was missing.
To remind, too, of Adlai
Stevenson's Importance to his
party out Of power, and to
suggest his mission. That is to
dramatic the issues and de-
fine them and give them mean
ing as he is so well able to
do-the issues that now are
literally falling over one
another.
One that Republicans have
handed the Democrats on a
silver screen, a TV screen-the
spectacle in the Senate caucus
room-waS created partly by
Adlai Stevenson. This was
through his speech a few weeks
ago at Miami about what
Senator Mccarthy was doing
to the Republican Party and
thus to the Nation which that
party governs. That speech did
more than anything else to
prod the administration into
the challenge of the Wiscon-
sin Senator. That challenge
brought on the investigation
at the Capitol which the ad-
ministration has decided must
be pushed through to the
bitter end, however it Is react
ing politically.
That is evidence Of the
wallop that Adlai Stevenson
packs.

The case in point here is
Adlai Stevenson. It was none Of
his doing that he couldn't be
here last week for the big JET

missed-and that's something.
Watching a big Democratic

become to his party.
He is its Man of Distinction.
He brings eclat. He adds the

Italian Senate Backs
Trieste Agreement
By the Associofed Press

ROME, Oct. "a cheering
Senate last night gave Premier
Mario Scelba a humping 122-89
vote Of confidence on the Italian
Yugoslav settlement of the
Trieste Free Territory quarrel.
This action followed by a day
approval by Yugoslavia's power
full Federal Executive Council of
the agreement dividing disputed
Trieste between Italy and Yugo-
slavia along lines established in
1947. The Yugoslav parliament
tary foreign policy committee
okayed the pact yesterday and
Parliament will act on it about
october 20.
The Senate vote, the most one
sided Mr.. Scelba has won since
taking office last February, was
the Premier's second victory in
that chamber in two weeks and
proved him firmly in command
of the government.
Mr.. Scelba's four-party center
coalition-his own Christian
Democrats, Liberals. Republicans
and Social Democrats-stoo
solidly behind him tonight. Com
munists, fellow-traveling Socia-
lists and the Fascist Social move
ment tMSD voted equally solidly
against him. The II members
Of the National Monarchist Party
walked out before the voting
after one monarchist called the
Trieste settlement "a cup OF
poison Italy was forced te
swallow"
