...stop their breathless balancing act and devote undivided attention to the war. What follows is a further stiffening of their posture on the battlefield and at the negotiating table, compelling the U.S. to consider slowing down its withdrawal-difficult though that may be. Beyond Viet Nam, Moscow quietly concedes Southeast Asia as a Chinese sphere of influence. Peking steps up subversion and support of local Communist insurgent movements. Unless Asian nations coordinate their defenses, perhaps in a regional pact extending from Korea to Pakistan, they eventually confront a painful choice: 1) accommodation with Peking, or 2) greater military and economic...
...like to make the very existence of Laos classified information. Thus, when the country's Premier, Prince Souvanna Phouma, flew into Washington last week, the White House said as little as possible about his meeting with President Nixon. The U.S. these days is anxious to get out of Southeast Asia, not to get in deeper. Reflecting that mood, Senator Stuart Symington next week will begin hearings on the American involvement in Laos.

Elsewhere, the Russians have recently formed a joint shipping company with businessmen in Singapore, made trade overtures to the Philippines, welcomed a Thai...

The Soviet drive also stems from Leonid Brezhnev's call last June for a new Asian security arrangement aimed against the Chinese, and from Russia's pressing need to overcome a serious trade deficit with some Southeast Asian countries. Trouble is, the Southeast Asian market is highly competitive and tough to crack-and Moscow is accustomed to government-to-government deals. When forced to compete on the open market, Ivan...
