Administration Ready To Spend On Indochina Indochina Situation > Critical> Dulles Flies To Europe WASHINGTON. UP — The big fact behind secretary of state John Foster Dulles’ urgent Journey to Ixmdon and Paris is the Eisenhower administration’s readiness to spend without limit to beat buck th'e Communist invasion of Southeast Asia. The situation is critical, probably more so than the >American people realize. The administration's eagerness to spend money is a fair measure of its determination not to spend American blood. President Eisenhower and Dulles have carried American foreign policy to u new and critical stage in recent weeks. Dulles' emergency visit to England and France naturally followed British and French reluctance to go along with the new' policy. The President alerted the nation to the country’s new position about three weeks ago when he told a news conference that Indochina was of extraordinary, primary imporatnce to the free world. Mr. Eisenhower gave Indochina a priority of importance and significance comparable to that of Korea. Two weeks ago in New York Dulles spelled it out. He said the Tnited States policy was that Communist domination of Southeast Asia by whatever means should be resisted by united action. That put the United States squarely in the way of Communist efforts to dominate that area either by military or political conquest. It committed the United States to united action against such dom ination either through the United Nations or. apparently, by the joint action of free states. These are hard diplomatic facts. They led to questions on .Capitol Hill and at Mr. Eisenhower's news conferences about the possibility of United States soldiers going into the Indochina battle lines. The administration repudiated such ideas quickly. Mr. Eisenhower told a news conference he couldn’t imagine any greater disadvantage to this country than the use of American ground forces in meeting each flare-up. of violence contrived by Communist pressure around the world. Dulles’ New York policy statement, however, was broad enough to cover the use of American fighting men in Indochina if necessary. That would be a last resort, however. if at all, and the immediate project is to stiffen the bzicks of friends and allies against an Indochina seH-out at the Geneva conference scheduled to begin April 26. The mood in France is for a negotiated peace. Best American judgment is that any negotiated peace th Communists would accept would lead shortly to Communist domination of Indochina and. - therefore. ot Southeast Asia. There is real tear that Geneva might become another Munich. There is sound military judgment in support of the belief that the Indochinese war can bs won. perhaps in 1956. The American opinion is that it might" be won -sooner if the French would abandon some of their outmoded colonial policies, widen the limits of independence in Indochina, train and admit the anti-Communist natives to higher policy and military command. These the French reject. Best simplification of the Eisen-hower-Dulles Indochina policy is that the United States stands ready to arm. equip and support friendly forces to combat Communism there. This would be at great cost, but not in American blood. Rated the fastest four - footed animal in the world, the cheetah has been clocked at 70 miles per ffour. That’s 20 Or 25 miles faster than a race horse.
