HAAKINSON WASHINGTON ® — Democratic demands for a change in Ameri- ca’s foreign policy flared anew to- day in the wake of reports of free | world setbacks in Europe and| Asia. Some minority party members criticized this country’s allies. | Others took swipes at the Hisen- hower administration’s handling of foreign affairs, which in turn was defended by Republican leaders. International problems were a possible topic at President Eisen- hower’s weekly conference with GOP congressional chiefs this morning. The chief executive converled a special session of the strategy- making National Security Council Saturday, the day after word ar- rived of the fall of the Indochina fortress Dien Bier Phu to the Com- | munists. Secretary of State Dulles, | a Security Council member, con- ferredwith a number of Republi- can s@ators afterwards. Today Ei- Senhover had appointments with Adm. Arthur W, Radford, chair- man ft the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Steretary of Defense Wilson. Sen. Smathers (D-Fla) said in a sptech prepared for Senate delivery today that developments in Indochina and Geneva prove that this nation’s “old allies,” in- cluding Britain and France, no longer stand up with us in “res- olute determination to oppose Com- munist aggression.” As a result, the Florida senator said, this country should “seek new allies” among friendly Latin- American nations and other coun- tries that have stoutly resisted communism. Calling for a complete shift in |foreign aid and trade programs, Smathers said Latin-American na- tions such as Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela should be moved from the bottom to the top of the list fot U.S. aid. He also asked continued en- couragement for Greece and Tur- key, which he said have demon- strated anti-Communist strength, and South Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines and Japan, which he described as similar outposts in the Pacific and Asia. At the Geneva conference, Smathers said, England and France failed to support the United States and gave that conference some of the “awesome aspects of a Munich.” In Indochina and Asia, he said, “we may take encouragement from prospects of keeping de- termined allies like South Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines and Japan, whereas there is no de- pendency to be placed in the colonial governments.” “In all candor, we must admit that our long and stubbornly held hope for uniting the Western world as the free world may well be beyond recall,” he said. a CBS television interview yester- day that “I think Indochina is lost” unless the French and Viet- namese are determined to con- tinue the fight against the Com- munists there. He said U.S. inter- vention with combat troops would not succeed because Red China would then intervene with still | larger forces. Stephen A. Mitchell, Democratic | national chairman, said during an NBC TV debate yesterday that the Eisenhower administration has so many foreign policy spokesmen the American people are confused. He predicted that by the end of this year Dulles would be out of office. “Oh, no,” was the immediate re-| other. Taree notes in MIAMI sponse from Republican National Chairman Leonard Hall. Hall went on to say a main Eisenhower ad- | ministration accomplishment was to recognize communism “as a world menace,” and that previous Democratic failure to do this led to the loss of China to the Com- munists.
