Adm Carney Urges Hard Line to Check Reds Boundary
Admiral Robert J. Carney called for a definite boundary beyond which the free world must not permit further Communist gains. He warned that each Soviet advance diminishes Western strength and endangers existence, and he supported the idea of a sea blockade as a potential tool in Southeast Asia while noting it may not be central to any overall effort in Indo China. He also cited a shift in postwar Soviet naval strategy toward a balanced force and affirmed the practicality of atomic power for navy vessels.
