DESTINY OF S.E. ASIA
Lee Foresees Trouble (N Z. Preet Assn.— Coppripht) OTTAWA (Canada), Nov. 13. The Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. said yesterday that any United Nations peace-keeping force in Vietnam would have to be “massive”, the Associated Press reported. “Who would pay for it?” he asked a news conference. “You’d better ask the Sec-retary-General of the United Nations, U Thant.” Mr Lee, who conferred earlier with the Prime Minister (Mr Pierre Trudeau), said that between now and 1972 alternative security arrangements would have to be made for South-East Asia. Britain was withdrawing from the Far East by that time and many United States troops might have left Vietnam. South-East Asia was “in for a very troublesome time,” the Prime Minister said. Its destiny would be determined not by nations in the area but by those outside. He named in this outside group Australia, the United States, China, Russia, Japan, New’ Zealand, India and Pakistan
