to whether he thought the United
States should help defend Que
moy and other Nationalist islands
between Formosa and the Chi
nese mainland.
He said President Eisenhower
would make the decision, in the
light of military appraisal
whether their retention is nee
essary or indispensable or useful
for the defense of Formosa."
Mr.. Dulles emphasized Amer
ica's basic decision is to defend
Formosa. And so, he said. the
question of the defense of Que
moy and other outlying islands
must be related to Formosa's de-
fenSe.
Since Quemoy is some 100
miles from Formosa, and right
under Chinese Red guns at Annoy,
it would appear doubtful that
American military experts would
consider it essential for protect
ing FormoSa.
Mr.. Dulles told reporters mo
commitments were sought and
none were given" about the de-
fense of outlying islands in a
long conference he had with
GeneraliSsimo Chang Kai-shek
on FormoSa last week.
Actually. he said, the artillery
fire against Quemoy from Annoy
has subsided, suggesting that the
Communists do not have any
immediate intentions of invasion.

But, they have been under

they themselves inevitably would
be subject to prosecution for the

Quemoy. a small island some

which has been shelled heavily
by the Communists recently,
Senator Smith said the Joint
Chiefs of Staff are now study
ing the situation.
The Senator said Quemoy, in
his opinion, was an integral part
of the FormoSa defense area.
But he warned against building
up Quemoy into too much Of an
issue. He recalled the French
mistake along this line on Dien
Bein Phu.
The loss of Quemoy would be
important for psychological rea-
sons, he added, because it would
be looked on as another defeat
for the United States and the
West. There would be a conse-
quent terrific loss of face" he
said.
Senator Smith revealed that
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
had told Secretary of State Dull
les and himself a couple of days
ago that he had everything un-
der control as far as Quemoy
was concerned.
Chang didn't even ask for
help for Quemoy," he. said. at
