Chinese Warned Not to Enter Indochina War
Secretary of State Dulles warned that if Communist China intervenes in Indochina or returns to Korea, the United States would retaliate directly with sea and air forces. He noted U.S. power in Korea waning but signaled new weapons would broaden pressure beyond Asia. Eisenhower echoed the view while withdrawing two divisions from Korea, and Dulles expressed confidence French and local forces will counter the Communist drive across Laos. Thai concern over invasion eased by assurance from Thai ambassador Pete Sarasin after talks at the State Department.
