SOUTHEAST ASIA: In most of push through China.
3)! JOHN S'I'II.OHM NEA Special Correspondent
SAZIGON, Indo-China - (NEM .-"How much of Indo-China does the "French army control?" I asked my two French companions as we sat on the Hotel Continent- al terrace.
"Do you mean by day or night?” countered one,
His question made sense. Under Ho Chi Minh. Communist guer- rillas and terrorist gangs have spread fear througr. the jungles.
by
the rice paddles and even the cities. They re nailed down Francois crack troops and a
sizable native force to the cities at night and chiefly the principal roads in daytime.
My friend had scarcely spoken when a hand grenade exploded across the street, I (fashed to the scene for a close look. When I got back my companions were sipping their wine. one explained: "You must learn not to run every time a grenade is thrown in Saigon.”
That night mortar shells were lobhed into the city from across the Mekong river. French 15's split the darkness, and machine guns chatter-ed.
I was left in no doubt that I was in the critical sector in South- east Asia's battle to check the southward flow of Russian Com- xnanlsm.
O U C
All through the region. Asia's leaders and many foreign obser- vers cling to an almost fatalistic belief that as ind-a-China goes. so will go Burma, Siam and the re- maining southeastern countries.
They're convinced the United states must stand here and thrust the Red drive back if it is to be done at all in Southeast Asia. And they believe only ample military aid will do the job - aid that comes soon..
Talking with U S. and western diplomats. I was given these rea- sons why Indo-China is the key to this area.
1. In this country are 150,000 fine French troops (1 found their morale high), plus 50.000 native Vietnamese soldiers, a hard nu- cleus of defense, an army in being that couldn't be matched any- where in the region in a short time,
Q 2. This is South Asia's outpost. the zone closest to established Red territory in China.
3. Because Siam is wlllowy and Burma torn by internal strife. few believe they would resist a Red drive that had conquered In:'o- China. some observers even say that two countries wculd fly the Red flag before Communists touched their norders.
4, Indo-China. Siam and Burma form the greatest, surplus rice area in the world. exporting locd to several southeastern countries. Loss of these supplies would throw upon the West the heavy burden of feeding those import- ing nations So long. at least. as

they stayed munist circle. .
5. A Red sweep of the three rice-surplus countries would lend strength to the Communists” prop- aganda that their ultimate vic- tory everywhere is inevitable. other Aslatic Sands amost surely would topple.
6, In the end the West wake up to find: Russian munlsm spiawlcd across a fou.th of the earths surface; the Soviet Union controlling valuable food stocks it needs for itself and iam- ine-ridden China. and the U. S. faced with the crushing task of trying to dislodge the enemy from this powerful position or of comibatting still further Rus- slan advances.

Up to now. I was told by the French commander, Gen. Marcel Carpentier. the battle of Indo- china has been going well. But the French and native forces are using ebulpment left over from the Italian and Tunisian cam- paigns of 1993-44. They need bet- ter weapons and more of them.
still, Ho Chi Mlnhls forces have just been cleared . from a river delta the size of Belgium, with a population of 3.000.000. SUBW- hatted farmers soon will be plant- ing rice there again.
I watched the clearing out process:
French soldiers slog through the jungle or wade through
flooded paddles, sweaty and rag- ged as they push on perhaps a. mile or so a day. Behind them come farmers under army direc- tion. to. build roads and erect de- fensive blockhouses about one to the mile. Surrounded by stockades these Daniel Boone style forts are then manned by native sold- iers. Thus "pacified" the area is ready for the farmers once more. C O O
A Fench officer complained to me: "sometimes I think the very fact we're winning ground is los- ing us the war. we're beginnng to spread ourselves thin already. And think of the miles and miles we have yet to cover."
In one ”po.cii.'ication" zone. three miles wide and 36 miles long with 120.000 people, there were 100 French soldiers. 300 Viet- namese soldieis and 300 home guards.
opposing the French is an army variously estimated at 30.000 to 70,000 men. I-Io's campaign of ter- ror has cast a pail over rice pad- dies and plantations in many sec- tions. Thousauds of acres are idle. Rubber production in Indo- China is half its level of pre- World-war II days-
You can never be sure who the enemy is, for He has supporfers and sympathlzers in the cities too, The pedal-pushing rickshaw boy with the shiny gold teeth who took you across town may be one. I talked with a newsman in Sal-

I noticed many untapped rub- ber trees on plantations. Tappers have been scared off, advised not to work for ”foreigr. imperialists". The plantation Torres Rouge has 300 French soldiers and 200 home guards on hand. but can only find 8.000 of the 15.000 workers it needs for full protection.
Indo-China's war is vicious; no prisoners are taken The French chafe under orders to fight a "soft" war-no flame throwers, no burning of enemy villages.
These orders went out because the French are trying to tread a little lightly in their complex re- latlons with the native 'popula- tion.
In response to demands for self- rule, they set up the Fuepublio of Viet Nam under Bao Dal. former Jap puppet. (snperor. But the French retain charge of defense and finance.

Nationalists fear Bao Dal is a French straw man. The Commu- nists call him a ”gumchewing run- ning dog of the decadent West." Admittedly. he prefers shooting tigers to being chief of state. But those close to him believe he is smart and courageous, the best man who could be found for a.

The llecline In The llorse
By J. F..L.
Fifty years ago every farmer who -could afford to keep them had one or more pair of matched horses and they were the pride of the farm. A good driving horse was also one of their valued assets.
Today the scene is changed. Any farmer who can afford it prides himself in his tractor and other motor equipment including an automobile to do his travelling in.
In the old days horses were val- ued at anywhere from 125.00 to 5200.00; today you can secure two good heavy farm horses for less than the average price of one in the old days. Today a good top 5153? 5? 3 Erade A pig will realize enough to purchase two or more good work horses.
Not long ago, within the past six months. the writer saw one of the finest work horses that anyone would like to look at. It was sold to a local dealer and shipped to St. John's, Nfld. where it was the talk'of the city. This horse. a grey gelding. topped the scales at a few pounds over a ton and the price paid the farmer and price received from the dealer was less than one hundred dollars. In old days two would be about the right price for an animal such as this.
The writer can well remember in the old days of a horse dealer in St. John. N. B. who had the con- tract for furnishing the horses for the fire department as well as a number of the dealers who used heavy drag horses. One of the principal requisites of these sales were that they must be "Island" horses.
Often not being able to secure enough on P. E. I.. he would go to Quebec and buy a carload. ship them to Summer-side. After they would be there for a few weeks he would have them shipped to St. John and on arrival there one would notice an advei.-tizement in the St. John papers that Mr. had recently received a carload of "Island" horses and in no time they were all sold. The writer had often heard him say that "Island" horses were worth far more than the N.B. horses and he could dis- pose of them in a day or so after arrival.
Contrast this with conditions to- day where probably not 10 horses are sold in a year compared with 100 sold in the olden days.
Surely this is the mechanical age. the Vletrnlnh.
But General Carpentier told me: "If military aid were given directly to the Vietnamese, I'd resign tomorrow." vThe French
fear precious war materials would be wasted.
Nobody questions, however, that the first need is to GET aid for Indo-China. and quickly. If help comes through, a French official voiced confidence that Ho Chi Mlnh can be stamped out. Only a mass Red attack based in chm; might alter the prospects, I was told.
Victory for the West on this crucial battlefront could be the greatest single triumph over com. munism since the Allied airlift licked the Russians Berlin block-
