en rc ar ,
ing the Republican renomination, de-
dared we must maintain a long-range
foreign economic policy, he had some
factual support.
The Vice President said this aid is
necessary "to bolster when needed the
economic strength of our allies." He
went on: "Economic assistance may
add to our sacrifice but we should
never force the natiorls to choose be-
tween bankruptcy anc' submission to
the Kremlin."
What he was talking about may be
seen currently in Indonesia. This po-
teut.ially rich section of the Southeast
Pacific area-a section we shall let fall
ender Red control at risk. of enriching
the enemy with war materials and clos-
ing them to ourselves--is facing the
grim choice of going Communist or
bankrupt.
Yesterday's editorial page told how
Indonesia is one of the n3ajor targets
of Communist infiltrations, in the esti-
mation of the chief of our C t stel-A-" j
ligence ,gengy,, Allen Du es..
The haste with Which the Dutch
were thrown out-add our own bleed-
'ing hearts and ntuddled heads had
something to do with it-left the vast
storehouse open to,. conflict and in-
trigue. Agreements made to The Neth-
erlands by the new .ative government
have been broken. Enough natives are
simply not ready to run their own show.
So Indonesians: are hungry, discon-
tented and distrustful, What a fertile
field for the Communist agitators
working there. The .Reds will not need
a civil war, some observers say. There
is enough native resentment against
present authority to vote Moscow's
emissaries into power, as almost hap-
pened for similar reasons of want in
France and Italy.
