President Hints At Possible U S Asia Intervention
President Eisenhower warned the free world cannot endure more losses in Asia and noted talks with allies on united action to keep Indochina free. He denied pressing allies to join a joint warning and stressed the issue's urgency amid Geneva talks and rising Communist influence in Southeast Asia. Secretary Dulles urged a united will among friendly nations to deter China, warning of great disaster if the area fails to stand firm. Senator Johnson endorsed a stronger Republican-led resistance to Communist aggression in Indochina.
