talks foreshadow U.S. move in Vietnam WASHINGTON How the U.S. can best take over the French “dirty-war” in Vietnam and build up the country as a stronge base of aggression against People’s Democratic China—this, in the opinion of progressive quarters here, is the main purpose of the talks in Washington to which U.S. military leaders have summoned the French ‘commander in Vietnam, General De Lattre De Tassigny. De Lattre is going from France to | Washington where the talks open on September 12. From reports from Saigon, it is clear that the MIDDLE EAST DIPLOMACY - Churchill promotes U.S. ends the attention of some Labor government officials who see a direct connection between it and Churchill’s foreign affairs speech in the House of Com- mons on July 30.

When eventually he ‘did arrive, Kinney behaved like a film version of a Nazi gauleiter. He stood legs astride, rejecting all evidence without looking, talking of his ‘impatience’ with ‘crazy bu- siness’ saying ‘Let’s go home, Jim to Colonel\Murray. He flatly de- nied the existence of everything and refused a complete enquiry. “After going along home, the Americans were finally persuaded to return. When they were con- fronted with an unexploded na- palm bomb, Kinney for once. be- came nervous. He said to Murray It’s too dark; Jin}.

It says that the “perilous” situ- ation has arisen because the issue was taken to the United Nations which enabled the Anglo-American imperialists to play India and Pakistan against each other to se- cure advantages for themselves. The statement says that to en- sure that the Kashmiri people might give their verdict with the utmost freedom, “it is essential that the de facto military parti- tion of Kashmir be brought to an end, by mutual agreement between India and Pakistan, the Maharaja be deposed, genuine agrarian re- form carried out in the states and a Constituent Assembly convened representing the entire people of the state.” - The statement ‘declares that any other course would intensify the miseries of the people, enable the warmongers to profit at their ex- pense, to secure military bases for themselves against the USSR and People’s China and to dominate both India and Pakistan, In an editorial on these talks, the Communist newspaper l’Hu- manite points out that this means that it is Washington which is going to dictate to France what should constitute the “French !Un- ion.” : ’ “Never before has the United States declared so openly and ‘so insolently its intention to interfere in Indochina” says the paper. “The American grip is tightening on . . L’Humanite explains that it is the French soldiers who would form the cannon-fodder for this new American-Bao Dai Army but points out that the resistance of the Vietnam People’s Army has considerably strengthened.
