We attach very great importance to it. I don't know that we're unduly worried about that incursion across the middle of the peninsula to Laos, but the infiltration of the Vietminh troops, assisted, as they are, by Chinese supplies, are a matter of great concern to it. We think actually that the French are holding their position. We feel that the position at the present time, at any rate, has not deteriorated. God forbid that it should, because if Indochina went then we would think that the whole of Southeast Asia would be imperiled, and we would be in jeopardy ourselves.
