Pham said vue Asian people feel he big powers have sacrificed the mall nations in their own interests. He argued that if the French wanted to pull out of Indo-China hey should, have allowed the Na- ionalists to fight it out with the Communists using "the equipment the U. S. gave the French for that purpose." Chamberlain represented Britain at the Munich parley which carved up Czechoslovakia to Hitler's de sire.
