Laos Peace Hopes Tied to Indochina Settlement
Vientiane reports that Laos faces a bleak future with two thirds under Communist control. Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma says only a broad Indochina peace pact, possibly shaped by Nixon and Chou En-lai, offers real hope for Laos. The Ho Chi Minh trail remains active as China builds an all weather road into northern Laos to near Thailand, guarded by radar anti aircraft systems and up to 20 000 Chinese troops.
