| Description | Editorial cartoon shows a large hourglass. The sand in the upper part is labeled "Indo-China," in the lower by a hammer and sickle. The caption title: The good earth, was the title of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Pearl Buck about a Chinese peasant. The cartoon probably refers to the situation in Indo-China in 1954, when the Viet Minh (a communist-dominated nationalist force) appeared to be on the verge of defeating the French colonial forces. Fischetti suggests that time is running out, and a French defeat will mean the loss of the area to the Soviet Union. |
