Claire Chennault warned: A complete Communist victory in China will channelize the undercurrents of native unrest already swirling through Burma. India. Malaya. and Indonesia into another rising tide of Communist victories. The ring of red bases can be stretched from Siberia to Saigon. Then the stage will be set for the unannounced explosion of world war III. It is perfecty obvious. Mr. President. where his steady spread of Communist aggression will end. The avowed aim of the Chinese Communists and of the Communist movements throughout the Asiatic Continent is to drive the white man and every last vestige of western imperialism out of Asia. This means French Indochina. Indonesia. the Malayan States. and even India will be swallowed up.
