Therefore. a promise of independence 5 years from now. when this matter now is coming to a head at Geneva. or in the next few months if we take the word of the Secretary of State. does not seem to be enough. If the French are not willing to make sufficient concessions to win the support of the native people. then the cause is hopeless. We have heard the French say. "Support us or we will pull out." However. how do we expect to obtain the support of the native people of that area and of other areas in Asia? Certainly the Asiatics must be given a definite reason for participating in the struggle. or else they will not participate in it.
