Gen. de Castries' answer was
equally short:
Affirmative. We shall destroy
the guns and the radio equipment.
The transmitter viii be destroyed

Au revoir, mon general. Vive la

In the De Castries' bunker the
corporal who operated the radio
set had time to slip in his own
private last message to his buddies
back at headquarters:
I'm five minutes everything'll
blow up around here. The Com

state the circumstances of any
such membership or to state his
activities in support of the inter-
national Communist movement.
Government officials are moving
swiftly to plug what they term the
gap" in Federal law which
now allows known Communists
to obtain passports. The admin
istration believes the greatest
danger is that the really hard
core Communists now will present
themselves for passports, knowing
they will not fall afoul of the
State Department restrictions that
barred them from foreign travel
in the past.
So far, however, there has been
no Communist avalanche Of ap-
plications.
Administration officials specu-
late that the Communists are pur-
posely holding of. Any flood of
passport applications from known
or strongly suspected Reds might
greatly strengthen the State and
Justice Departments case for a
restrictive bill.
The State-Justice decision to
limit inquiry into passport appli-
cants' Affiliations with commu-
nism to the last 10 years rules
out of consideration two critical
periods In the lives of most former
Reds.
One was 1899, when the Soviet
Union signed a nonagression
treaty with Hitler's Germany.
American Communists at that
time were faced with choosing
between America. which opposed
Hitlerism. and communism, which
had abruptly renounced its anti
Hitlerism. Communists who re-
manned active in the international
movement after 1889 have gen.
orally been regarded as confirmed
Reds. giving their first allegiance
to the MoScow-directed Commu-
mist movement rather than to the
United States.
The other critical period was

Cambodia Jared best. There, the

to be able to enter politics. had

contrary to his Laos and Wet
namese neighbors, had obtained
their total surrender or evacuation
to North Wet Nam. Also, Cambo-
dia's economy (mostly rice and
vast rubber plantations) had not
suffered as much from the war as
that Of its neighbors.
No More Trieolor
BY the end of 1854 French ad-
ministrative control had COM
pletely disappeared, and on April
10, 1856, the last French solder
left South Wet Nam. Only one
French airbase now remains in
Seno, in Southern Laos, along with
French military training missions
in Cambodia and Laos, as vestiges
of what once had been Frances
military might in the Far East.
South Wet Nam, created in the
chaos of division, faced the Bit
terest struggle for survival. In
fact, it would not be unfair to
say that without a most generous
measure of American aid in every
field South Wet Nam could not
have survived long enough to face

The question then arises as to
how one would know whether the
Secretary actually has reasonable
grounds for believing the travel
would harm the Nation in a given
instance or was acting as the re-
suit of mere whim, vindictiveness
or stupidity.
OF this the hackers say: I'VE

of necessity, he is entrusted daily
to carry out tasks and make de-
cisions vital to the country while
answerable only to the President.
The bill sets forth that the Sec
retary, in arriving at his deter

falls within the prescribed cate
gories, shall consider among
other matters, whether the appli-
cant is a person who :. within

1--WE are citizens Of two neigh
boring nations who have never
looked on one another as for
eigners."
These were the words Of former
Canadian Prime Minister Louis s.
st. Laurent, speaking ct the Ma
tional Press Club in 1858. Five
years later-only last May--a spe-
cial House Foreign Affairs Com-
nittee study mission had this to
report on the once-close relation
ship Of the two nations:
g. The friendship has been
subjected during the past few
years to ever-increasing strains,
and there has been q rising tide
Of resentment against the United
States on the other side Of the
border"
Canadian disenchantment with
United States policies was re-
flected in the overwhelming polit-
ical victory last spring Of the Con-
servatives, led by Prime Minister
John @. Diefenbaker, an OUT
spoken nationalist.
The change in sentiment was
eloquently expressed by former
Canadian Foreign Minister Lester
Pearson.
I'VE were once sensitive about
Canada being considered merely
a colonial extension Of Britain"
he said. I'VE are now even more
sensitive about being considered
merely a northern extension Of
the United States :"
Canadians specifically resent
United States sale of surplus
wheat abroad for soft currency"
limitations on United States inn
portation Of Canadian oil, in
creased tariffs on Canadian lead
and zinc, an unfavorable balance
Of trade and domination Of Ca
madam industry to American
capital.
Also irritating to the Canadians
is American lack of understand
ing and interest in Canadian
affairs.
when an American citizen
visits Canada" reported the
study mission, almost every
Canadian is fully aware of cur
rent problems in the United
StaeS. On the other hand, when
the Canadian visits the United
States, there is usually a total ig-
norance of any Canadian matters.
THE United Staes and its cit
izens have frequently adopted a
patronizing assumption that Cam
ada, like poor relation would re-
main at our beck and call, and
that no matter what the provo
cation Canadians would not OBJ
ject to any step we might take"
Put on the TobIe'
Last week President Eisen-
hover and Secretary Of State
Dulles journeyed to Ottawa to
'put on the table for frank dis
cussion" economic and political
problems that have created some
thing of a gulf between the two
nations.
One Of the most pressing issues
is the disposal Of surplus Cana
dian wheat. Twenty years ago
Canada had a surplus of only Is
million bushels, compared to 153
million bushels for the United
States. Last year, Canada's sur
plus was 730 million bushels; the
United States, 908 million bushels.
In recent years the United
States has been selling large
quantities of wheat abroad for
foreign currency. then spending
this money in the same country.
Canadian farmers are complain
ing that this policy interferes with
sale of wheat to such countries
as Brazil and India, who would
buy with Canadian dollars.
Since Canada depends on ex-
port Of her raw materials to

refusal Of Ford Canadian sub
sidiary, repeatedly at United
States beheSt, to sell 1000 auto
mobiles to Communist China.
Another sore point is a limita-
ton on West Coast oil imports to
$1,000 barrels a day. Canadians
contend this is only 81 per cent Of
the amount that would have been
imported for the first half Of
1858. The United States noted
that American companies. hard
hit by the recession. imported only
$4,000 barrels a day.
Alternative in Sight sdt.
The United States also seems
to have anticipated Canadian
fears that tariffs will be raised on
lead and zinc imports. The ad-
ministration is now seeking q
price-support program as an az
tentative. @fi'
A staunch supporter of the
United Nations and vital link
in North American defense. Cam
ada also wants atomic weapons.
The Canadians warn their air
craft may be called on to defend
Chicago and Detroit. The Royal
Canadian Air Force and Navy
now have only conventional arms.
Their lack of atomic warheads,
say the Canadians, weakens con-
tinental defenses. 300
The problem before President
Eisenhower last week was how to
say mo" to France and yes" to
Canada. -
Despite the resentment in Can.
ada over United States policies,
there is considerable optimism in
official quarters on both sides Of
the border that the problems
eventually will be worked out. For
one thing. the economies of the
two nations are highly interde-
pendent. Sixty per cent of Can
adas exports go to the United
States and 70 per cent of Ameri-
cas- exports go to Canada.
AS a Canadian official In WASH
ington pointed out, "the recession
in the United States was felt in
Canadian steel pits before it was
felt in the States"

How many years on the straight
and narrow" must former Com
munist put behind him before he
is considered purged of the Red
taint?
This is one Of the controversial
questions the State Department
hopes to get Congress and the
courts to answer soon, at least to
the extent the question affects is
suance of passports.
The United States Court Of APP
peals for the District of Columbia
has already ruled that Communist
Affiliations Of is years ago are too
long past to bar an American from
receiving a passport.
Secretary of State Dulles last
week suggested a 10-year statute
of limitations" Five years was
considered but rejected as being
too short a time.
Up until this year former Com
munists carried their stigma with
them throughout life. American
applicants for passports had to
answer two questions:
81. Are you now q member of
the Communist Party?
"2. Have you ever been q men,
Der of the Communist Party?"
If the answer to either ques-
ton was yes, chances for q pass
port we're drastically reduced.
The Supreme Court ruled re-
Gently, however. that Secretary
of State Dulles has no statutory
authority to deny passports to
supporters Of the international
Communist movement.
Last week the administration
sent to Congress a draft bill which
would give Secretary Dulles the
necessary authority.
