' "When the Communists took over the district we were reluctantly compelled to abandon our work at the University or remain on at the sacrifice of our principles." said Father Pineau..

' I When the war started in Decem- ber. 1040, the issue was one quite simply of keeping the French flag flying in Indo-China. At that time. it. was a shoestring war between the equipment-starveu postwar French forces and the loosely- organised Nationalist guerrilla forces of Communist-trained Ho Chi Minh. , Little by little, as political events turned. Franco found that what startodias a colonial uprising had evolved into another struggle with world communism. Today the war is costing some 81.000.000.000 a year. oi which the United States is supplying about two-thirds. On the French side are 200.000 men-Viot Namese.
