Dulles mentioned some Asiatic fears that “the power to possess will, only be used to protect the members of the North Atlantic pact, leaving Asia in a position of neglect.

The United States intends to maintain armed forces on Okinawa where new construction is underway. 2. The United States has offered Japan a bilateral security arrange-! ment and is prepared to conclude aj mutual defense arrangement with j Australia and New Zealand. 3. President Truman has reiter ated that an armed attack on the Philippines would be regarded by the United States “as dangerous to its own peace and safety.” 4. Great American power, notably strategic air forces, could ibe hurled from bases in the United States to the aid of any country ip the world.
