Allies To Explore Possible
U.S.-British-French Naval
Force In Southeast Asia
WASHINGTON, Itfl—Secretary
of State Dulles said Friday he will
explore with the seven other
Manila Pact allies the question of
creating a combined U.S.-British
French naval force to protect
Southeast Asia against Commu
nist aggression.
Dulles declined at a news con
ference to fill in many details, but
he said the Manila Pact must be
adequately implemented. That
was the task to be started at a
meeting at Bangkok, Thailand, in
late February, he said. By ade
quate implementation, Dulles told
newsmen, he meant something
stronger than just the words of
the treaty signed last Sept. 8 by
the United States, Britain, France,
Australia, New Zealand, Thailand,
Pakistan and the Philippines.
He said the eight nations would
develop no standing military force
such as the huge power now con
centrated in Europe under the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion.
Prime reliance in Southeast
Asia, he stressed, must be on mo
bile striking power.
Then, in response to questions,
he said such a mobile force would
be discussed at Bangkok. It would
be premature to say now what
precise composition or form it
would take, he declared.

The Two Roads
» • •
By Harold Salisbury
We stand on the crest of the Old Year’s Road
That has led through the valley of deeds,
Across the rivers of circumstance
And over the anxious meads,
The Old Year’s Road with its sunlit hills
And wastelands of sorrow and pain,
Its forest of dreams with hopeful themes
And fields that have given their grain,
But now the Old Road is dim with a mist,
- The mist of the un-won prize,
But we look to find where the New Road winds
And the mists of uncertainty rise,
For the Old Road is passed,- to be trod no more,
- Though its mem’ries have sweeter grown,
And the New Road starts where the Old Road ends
But where it will lead is unknown !
So we stand on the crest of the Old Year’s Road
With nought to do but be glad
For its many joys and its hallowed tears
With a farewell in praises clad,
And a prayer of faith for the vision clear
That through every mist may survive,
With peace and strength for the New Year’s length
And a health to ’Fifty-Five !
