independently advised Hanoi to settle with the United Slates without much further delay authoritative Communist diplomats said today Both Communist allies of Hanoi cautioned separately that in the light of latest developments the fortunes ot war may turn against North Vietnam The sources reported that both assured the Hanoi regime of continued firm political moral and military support But they made it clear at the same time in almost identical terms they cannot risk confrontation with the United States which indirectly limits the scope of their assistance They did not ask for specific concessions from Hanoi in the suggested el fort for a settlement with the United Stall's But they implied the need for some degree of flexibility that would pave the wav for an end to the war THE DIPLOMATS said the effect of the Iwo-prongcd hy Peking and Moscow in Hanoi was shattering Distrust of their allies' designs has now added to the disapixiintmcnt of the North Vietnamese leaden with ilic alleged footdragging of both China and Russia in recent mouths over the conflict The political and war councils were said to be hard at work in Hanoi on the scope of future strategy While Peking's and Moscow's advice was said to have been contemptuously brushed aside Hie message itself was however considered too serious in its implications for Hanoi to ignore Hanoi according to the

confirmation of their growing suspicions of flagging support from their allies SOVIET AND Chinese arms were still being shipped to North Vietnam the diplomats said hut the blockade has sharply reduced the scope with neither China nor Russia evidently prepared to risk a hcadon collision with the United Stales especially at this stage of their global peace offensive Chinn's limited rail supply routes
