Burma's Premier U Nu is a devout Buddhist, a Socialist and a sufficiently alert observer of the current scene to recognize Red China privately as the beast next door. U Nu is also an impeccable outward neutralist, a sponsor for Red China at international conferences, reluctant to accept arms from the West against Burma's own Communist rebellion.

We are, of course, shocked that such an intemperate attack could be made by a member of the United States Senate. But it does not greatly surprise us that McCarthy made the attack. His case history shows a steady deterioration of reason...
