U.S. DIPLOMATS MEET
TALKS IN BANGKOK LONDON, February 14. Discussing the issues before the conference of American envoys in the Far East which opened in Bangkok yesterday, a special correspondent of “The Times” in Bangkok says that two tendencies are detected in American thinking: (1) a determinaiton not to repeat the mistakes made in China; and (2) a realisation of the extreme gravity of the situation in -the Far East. “Both Britain?and America,” the correspondent says “have at least become aware that the victory of Communism in China , is exposing the whole of South-east Asia to the Communist threat. Both for the British and Americans, Indo-China looks like becoming a testing point. If Communism is not held in Indo-China, then it will be difficult, if not impossible, to prefalling under Communist control withvent the rest, of South-east Asia from in the foreseeable future. “Indc-China is probably the most urgent of all the specific problems on the agenda of the present American conference.”
