SEORE
-2- #467, January 31, 10 p.m., from Paris
French tempers so flared up in 1870 that Bismarck
found it easy to provoke a war. No such reaction is
to be expected today, but this event will undoubtedly
strengthen the will of the people and their govern-
ment here to resist and contain Communist pressures.
I think 16 important that our government should stigma-
tize in strongest terms this act as breach of recognized
principles of international relations, and as conducive
to creating conditions of disorder threatening to world
peace that Russians are always proclaiming with great
thumping of breasts to be cardinal objective of their
foreign policy.
We may soon be faced with situation similar to that form
merly prevailing in Greece and even in Spain. The March
8 accords should be ratified by Council of Republic of
Friday of this week. Our recognition of Bao Dai and of
Cambodia and Laos should follow immediately thereafter.
After that if any measure of military and/or economic
aid to Bao Dai is contemplated it would seem advisable
that it be announced at once and extended as soon as
possible.
It may well be that grave as are the worldwide implica-
tions of this Russian move, one beneficial result may
emerge, namely, a quickening of national pride in France
which will make a more cohesive and determined policy
toward Russia and Communism generally popular.
