Miss Marthajane Kennedy

She failed to find it.
In its place she found the
two listening posts into Red

there with my parents. I re-
membered the Chinese then
as a poor people but still with
plenty of laughter in them,

hopeful of the future" she
said.
But now she found that
poverty has increased and
laughter has been wiped off.
She talked with dozens of
refugees from behind the

In Hong Kong a medium

rates are the same. Also, an
average luncheon in Hong
Kong costs $3.50 and in
Macao a full dinner 81.
Miss Kennedy said that
one unfortunate result of
this concentration Of popula-
ton is the tremendous in
crease in crime. THE British
are doing an excellent law
enforcement job, but still it
is very unsafe TO walk in
certain quarters after dark.

ern. It is regarded as the
only group capable of resist
ing any Communist effort to
take over from the inside.
Obviously the IndoneSian
Army personnel would be i'm
pressed with a victory they
won with Soviet arms and as
a consequence of training by
Soviet military advisers. The
net result could be that In
doneSia would become q de
facto Communist state with
no freedom Of action indie
pendent of its Communist
supervisors.
It is for this reason that
the United States Govern
ment has been striving hard
to settle the dispute over
West New Guinea by peace
full negotiations. The theory
is that. if this effort were
successful, the IndoneSian
Communists wouldn't be able
to claim through their prop
uganda that they alone sup
ported the nationalistic as
pirations of the mdonesian
people. The Americans who
favor mediation believe it will
maintain the influence of the
United States and perhaps
mark a turning point away
from the leftward urse
which President Sukarno has
been setting for Indonesia.
1t is too early to tell what
really will happen, but there
is a growing fear that the
Communists may gain the
upper hand inside Indonesia.
1t is surprising that the facts
about the Soviet military aid
to the Indonesian forces in
recent months have not been
widely publicized to date.
Possibly the reason was a
fear that this would intensi-
fly a feeling of greater de-
pendence on the Soviet by
the Indonesians. 1t has been
a tough problem for the
United States. But it does
seem that, when military
force is threatened or en-
ployed in disregard Of peace

It will be a quiet summer in
the Formosa Straits, top Pen
tagon officers familiar with the
area believe, provided the Red
Chinese leaders face the mill
tary facts of life.
Logically, the Communists
stand to gain little and lose
much by any kind of military
expedition there, the Pentagon
believes. But since the military
buildup across the straits ap-
pears to be a real one, and
since the Oriental Communist
mind remains inscrutable, Of
ficials here are loathe to pre-
dict that there will be no fight
ing.
If the Communists want a
fight, here is what could hap
pen, in the opinion of some of
the top experts:
First, the Chinese Commu-
nists could try a small action
artillery bombardment of the
offshore islands of Quemoy and
Matsu.
The Communists tried this in
1858, but failed to gain any
thing by it. In fact, military
men believe that the Commu-
nists lost face in a humiliating
backdown.
Today, the islands are better
able to withstand Smelling and
to reply in kind. So military
men here see no profit for the
Reds in another bombardment
The Reds could raise the
ante, however, by adding an
aerial bombardment, using
mainland planes.
This, it is said here, could
be countered by an equally
strong Nationalist Air Force
Some Chinese planes CMIG-
rOs) are newer and better, but
despite improved training pro-
gram, the Red Air Force is not
now considered to be superior
to that of the Nationalist

Are the Communists about
to achieve perhaps their big
gest victory in Southeast
Asia? This is the question
which well-informed persons
in the West are asking sadly
as they watch the buildup
toward q virtual conquest of
Indonesia-one of the most
important areas in the world
today.
Indonesian President Su-
karno has made it appear
that his dispute with the
Dutch Governme mt over
West New Guinea is solely a
fight between nationaliSm
and colonialism. 1t began
that way, but now it has
been followed by such def
mite intervention by the So
VETS as to give them a sub
stantial advantage.
The internal situation in
Indonesia today is a struggle
between an army that is pre-
dominantly Communist
and a Communist political
party which is the largest
Communist Party outside the
Iron Curtain.
A massive aid program by
the Soviets, oStenSibly to
''iberate" West New Guinea,
is having its effect on the
Indonesian military force,
which is rapidly becoming
dependent on Communist
help.
Neither the Dutch nor the
Indonesian people realize as
yet that their long-Standing
dispute about an almost
worthless area - largely
swamp and jungle-can re-
suit in a Communist Indo-
nesia. That is, of course, a
Communist goal. For it
means a Communist base
that outflanks what is left
Of free Asia.
There is no longer any
doubt that President Sukar-
no can take over West New
Guinea by military force. His
success is anticipated. Soviet
aid has been supplied. and no
international force has been
interposed by the West to
save this outpost.

Logic Against Peiping
In F ornoso Situation

Moreover, by bombing the
islands, the Reds would be TAX
ing the risk of drawing the
United States in. This not only
would add a superior force to
the Nationalist side, but would
involve an economically weak
Red China in a large war
against the strongest possible
opponent.
Another militry move open
to the Communists would be a
sudden massive invasion of the
offShore islands.
This, however, could not be
a surprise attack. A buildup of
landing barges and junks could
not be hidden. The Nationalist
and American navies and air
forces could be lying in wait.
The Red Navy is designed for
coastal, defensive operations. It
has only four destroyers and
26 submarines. 1t would be
working at a disadvantage,
much worse than that of any
American amphibious force
that ever assaulted any Pacific
island.
To succeed, an about Red
attack on the islands would
have to sacrifice many thou
sands of men and much ex-
pensive equipment. Also, it
would invite Nationalist and
American retaliation against
the mainland. 4
The final option open to an
offensive minded Red COM
mand would be an attack on
the Pescadores Islands and For
mosa. This, by Senate resolu-
ton, and by treaty with the
Nationalist, would bring the
United States into the fight
full-scale.
It would be the worst kind
of war that the Chinese Com
munists could engage in today
All this means that logic die
tates peace in the FormoSa
Straits this year-although the
Pentagon still would not bet on
lit.
