"This might involve serious risks," he said. "But these risks are far less than those that will face us a few years from now, if we dare not be resolute today." Dulles spoke out, with the advance approyal of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a major foreign policy address on the Communist threat in the Far East. His call for "united action," it was learned, had been specifically cleared with the President in a weekend conference at the White House. The wording was kept general on purpose, officials said, in order to avoid tipping off the Commun ists about what to expect. By speaking of "united action" Dulles made clear he meant a move by the United States as well as its allies, in contrast to a previous speech in which he spoke about possible American retaliation.

Dulles 'said he spoke out "to clarify further the United States position" so that the Communists would know in advance "where his aggression could lead him." "Communist control of South east Asia would c a rr y a grave threat to the Philippines, Aus tralia and New Zealand, with whom we have treaties of mutual assistance," }le said. "The entire Western Pacific area, including the so-called "off : - shore island chain, would be stra tegically endangered."
