U.S. ATTITUDE TO BAO DAI
EARLY RECOGNITION POSSIBLE
(Rec. 11 p-m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 30. “There is a strong suggestion that the United States expects soon to recognise the new autonomous Bao Dai regime in Indo-China and give it assistance,” said the “New York Times” in a leading article to-day. “Bao Dal will be supported, not because of any deep personal devotion to him, but because it is of the utmost consequence to keep Indo-China free from Communist domination, and Bao Dai offers the best present chance to do this.
“The key to Indo-China’s significance is rice. Surplus rice that can make the difference between subsistence and starvation to mahy millions of persons must come from IndoChina, Siam, and Burma. Control of this rice supply by a group of regimes taking their orders from Moscow would literally place the life or death of great masses of population in the hands of the Kremlin.”
