Japan Gives Moral Support To Alliance Jap Contribution Must Be Limited TOKYO, (INS) — Foreign minister Katauo Okazaki pledged Japan's moral support today in an Asiatic alliance against Communism, but warned that her contribution would be limited. Okazaki said that Japan simply could not afford the cost of building up an army large enough to make a major contribution to an Asian alliance and also legally could not send troops overseas as

such an alliance might require. But, in an exclusive interview with International News Service, the foreign minister made it plain his government officially looked with favor on the efforts to create such an alliance in Asia. He declared: "As a general statement. I jvould sa.v that the collective system of defense is the best means available to ensure international peace and security.” Os Japans direct participation, Okazaki said: "All 1 .can say at this Juncture is that, aside from moral support, if in our Judgment the organization is in accord with the U. N. charter and there is away of making a contribution with the framework of our constitution and eco-

nomic capabilities, we shall be willing to make such a contribution.” Okazaki explained that the size of Japan's armed forces and the military contribution it could make depended on the ability to pay for such forces. "Our present defense expenditures," he declared, “constitute a severe strain on out still weak economy. A substantial increase will not be possible without an improvement in the state of our economy, and this in turn will require an improvement in our foreign trade situation.” The foreign minister also referred to a second probl/m -r that of Japan's war-banning constitution. Japan is building a new military establishment for the official pur-

Geneva Parley Is Benefit To Communists Balance Sheet Os Parley To Date Is Favorable To Reds GENEVA, (INS) — Western diplomats generally were of the opinion today that a balance sheet Os the Geneva conference to date Would show* that It has been far more profitable for the Communists than for the free world. Nevertheless, most Western delegates, including the Americans, that it has not been useless and that it may have served to prevent an extension of the IndoChinese conflict which could conceivably have led to world war. So far, the'credit and debit side of the conference for the free world are seen among the western diplomats as follows: Credit 1. It has awakened the <ree world to the necessity of considering Joint defensive action to prevent the Communist conquest of all southeast Asia. 2. It has shown that the Communist world is less interested in immediate peace in Indo-China than in a political settlement that Mould leave the way open for eventual Red domination of the icountry. 3. It has exposed the unwillingness of the Communist bloc to recognize the authority of the United Nations in a solution of

the Korean problem, or to permit the unification of that country under truly free elections. 4. It has led to a gradual healing of the breach in allied unity that it had caused to be split wide open. 5. It has enabled the United States to persuade a reluctant Great Britain and other allies to start five - power staff talks in Washington concerning creation of a southeast Asia security pact. 6. It has brought about an expression of India’s willingness to cooperate In guaranteeing any peace agreement reached at Geneva or at least to help implement an armistice control plan. It also seems to have alerted India to the danger of Communist expansion in southeast Asia, and it has led to a public recognition by the Indian government of the need for retaining French troopH in IndoChina indefinitely7. It has'further led to a move by Thailand to bring the United Nations into the Indo-Chinese picture through the proposed dispatch of a peace observation coilmission to the region. Debit Side 1. It has created an appeasement’ attitude on the part of Great Britain and France which threatens to lead to the partition of IndoChina and perhaps doom that country to the fate of Czechoslovakia. - - • 2. It precipitated the worst split )n Anglo-American diplomatic relations in many years, and led U. S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles to. .believe that British ■foreign secretary Anthony Eden had broken his promise about going ahead with America in setting up at once a southeast Asia security organization. 3. It caused American diplo* macy to suffer one of the greatest setbacks in its history, and saw

Eden replace Dulles as leader of the western world at Geneva. 4. It indirectly caused France to suffer, through the fall of Dienbienphu. its worst military defeat since the French nation surrendered to Germany in the last war. Had it not been that the Communists wanted-to achieve a spectacular military victory for its effect on the Geneva conference, allied diplomats doubt that the In-do-Chinese rebel leader, Ho Chi Minh, would have scarificed so many troops to crush that fort- i ress. 5. It enabled tne Communist world to delay joint allied defense plans for southeast Asia while the Red diplomats stalled peace talks at Geneva and the Vietminh mill- I tary offensive was intensified in | the Tonkin Delta area of northern Indo-China. 6. It has served to increase I greatly the prestige of Red China I as. one of the Big Five world powers. 7. It has shown the two giants of yie Communist world — Russia and Red China were capable of maintaining diplomatic solidarity at a great international conference while western diplomacy was shattered by disunity.
