Addressing the Anglo-American Press Association Lurcheon in Paris on January 20th, the U.S, representative to N.A.T.0., Harlan Cleveland, said: "The United States feels a little lonely in those foreign parts" (SoutH Vietnam) There is an increasing feeling of wonder in the United States...How it is that Europe, which is very strong and prosperous these days, is not engaged in wheat is a major hot front in a major global confrontation with the communists." He went on to urge the European allies of the U.S. to show a clear stand on the Vietnam question. "We hope the Europeans will come to believe that drawing a line beyond which it is not possible for the communists to practice their new strategy of indirect infiltration is very important for all of us," he declared. Though he found it necessary to say that it. was was up to each allied Government to decide on "the form and extent of commitment”, he stressed that the United States would welcome any aid, military or otherwise. Cleveland further called for the development of N.A.T.O, from a "credible militery deterrent into a credible political detente with the Soviet Union."
