President Eisenhower Is 60
ing to get a chance to do all
that he thinks best to push
that upswing in foreign af-
fairs about which he spoke
last week.
There is very definitely a
feeling in Washington that a
decisive moment has been
reached in the struggle against
Communist imperialism which
has been the dominant factor
In foreign policy since World
War II ended. It is true that
not everybody shares President
Eisenhower's optimism that
the Reds have reached a high
water mark from which they
are bound to recede.
The Presidents good for
tune is that the pessimists are
largely included in his own
party. They are led by Sen
ate Leader Knowland. who in
herited the Taft mantle by mo-
ton of the late Senator him
self. But Senator Knowland
is minority. not majority,
leader and he is not wholly
sympathetic to the minority
within the minority that he
commands.
The result is that the
G. o. p. right wing is weak
ened and divided. In contrast.

the Senate and House Is uni

President Eisenhower's special
representative in Wet Nam.

matter of deposing Chief of
State Bao Dai, who is run

from the luxury of the French
Riviera.

means. in plain language, put
ting the heat on an individual
or government.
The State Department
yielded to Paris and brought
pressure after it had agreed
earlier with Premier Diem that
the absentee head of state
should 60.
The idea of South Wet
Nam becoming a legitimate re-
public with only loose ties to
France is repugnant to the
French. They hope to salvage
some economic interests in
that part of the former en-
pire. Paris believes Bao Dai
can perform this feat by his
subservience to France and
his former connection with the
Communist puppet Ho Chi
Mini.
Premier Diem is a dedicated
anti-Communist. He wants to
give his people an honest and
orderly. government and keep
his country from falling into
Communist hands.
According to official reports.
which for good reasons have
been kept confidential in this
country. the rebellion of the
so-called religious sects
against Diem was engineered
at least in partly French
authorities. When the So
called uprisings started, the
French, who control most Of
the supplies Of the Wet Nam
ese national forces. ordered
rationing of ammunition and
gasoline in the hope that
Diem would be defeated and
ousted. Gen. Collins prevented
this.
Our attitude brought serious
friction with Paris. The Amer
ican policy was strongly de-
nounced in the French press.
One leading newspaper wrote:
1T is unbelievable to see
them (the Americans) behav-
ing like SorcererS' apprentices
who have lost Indo- China, as
they lost China, by their blum
ders and a lack of forethought
which is stupefying."
There Is something to be
said about our blunders help
ing the Chinese Communists
to defeat the Nationalists and
take over the mainland of
China. But the French them
selves disregarded our advice
and rushed to surrender to the
Reds at Geneva last July. This
surrender by former Premier
Mendes-France is regarded
even now in France as a great

put out by Washington was
that Secretary Dulles had to
reverse his recommendation,
Endorsed by the Joint Chiefs
of Staff because of the opposi-
ton from Congress.
In our desire to save what is
left of the French empire. we
sided with the Paris govern
ment against our conviction
and opposed efforts Of the
Moroccan and Tunisian peo-
pie to bring their case against
France before the United Ma
tionS.
The situation in North
Africa Is serious. At the Ban
dung conference last month q
pool of $40 million was estab-
lished to purchase arms and
supplies for the Moroccan and
Tunisian nationalists. The
French had to transfer two
divisions from the NATO last
fall to meet an impending
emergency. But because
France is considered a key
stone in the Western European
defense system, we have over
looked our dislike for colonial
ism and gone well out Of our
way to support French policies.
We have adopted a sensible
policy in South Wet Nam in
supporting Premier Diem.
Even the French admit he is
honest and sincere. We are
convinced that although some
private French interests. long
established in Saigon. might
be hurt. France and the free
world would benefit from q
new order in South Wet Nam.
Mr.. Dulles is now in Paris.
He will undoubtedly be sub
jected to even greater pressure
to reverse our stand and urge
Diem to keep in office the
absentee Bao Dai who has
been administering his realm"
for the last year from the
sunny Mediterranean.

fed and sympathetic to the
Presidents efforts to return
to normal diplomatic negotia-
tions in the Far East.
Politically the President
could not be in a better posi-
tion. He commands a majority
on foreign policy so long as he
sticks to the anti-war thesis.
Even the Republicans who
view his present optimism with
alarm realize that he Is their
party's principal asset and
wish him to run again next
year. They cannot possibly
wage an all-out fight against
him; it is too risky a PROPOSE
ton.
The Democrats are scarcely
less unhappy about the situa-
ton in which they find them
selves. They have won almost
every election since 1852 and
they boast of a collection Of
vigorous, young and articulate
leaders.
They say with truth that

his Secretary of State, Dean
Acheson, proposed cease-flre

dot China.
Despite the relentless accu-
sationS Of imperialism" from
Moscow, Peiping and the sa-
tellite countries. our record of
opposition to colonialism is
clear. We strongly urged the
British to give full independ-
ence to India when London in
tended to do it by stages over
a period of several decades.
Had it not been for us, India's
Nehru would not be prime
minister Of a completely free
country today.
We put direct pressure on the
Dutch and threatened to cut
of all economic aid, at a time
when they needed it desper-
ately, unless they gave full in
dependence to Indonesia.
But for military and politi-
cal reasons we condoned
French colonialism. The
United States rushed to the
aid of France in the Indo-
Chinese war to the tune of
more than 50 billion when
Paris told us the French econ
omy could not continue to
support the war against Ho
