Though Labor members had approved of Attlee's criticisms of the U.S., they resented Churchill's suggestion that they were basically anti-American. In the debate that followed, speaker after speaker from both sides emphasized the importance of U.S.-British alliance. Cried Laborite S. N. Evans roundly: "Do not let us forget that EDC and the American bases and NATO and the hydrogen bomb are not the causes of international tension: they are the end product, the inevitable consequence of Stalin's postwar madman's dream of a new Communist Roman Empire . . . Without American military...
...taken stern anti-Communist measures. In the spring of 1950, at least 130 student Communist cells were registered with the office of the Japanese Attorney General. The total membership reported was 4,526, including more than 100 professors. More recently, the chief of Japan's security investigation reported to the Diet that there are 100,000 party members in the country, and that of these, seven out of ten are "young men and women in their 20s."

Anti-American feeling hardly exists in Turkey. Though they snap at each other, Turkey's two major parties agree, as President Bayar recently told a U.S. audience, that "private enterprise is the best system [for] rehabilitating a country that is economically backward...
...corrupt, bloody and hated dictators like Batista, who ran on a Communist "popular front" in 1940, supported a Communist coalition in 1944, and was elected largely with the help of Communist rats as Senator in 1948-will provide both a hotbed for Red propaganda, and a terrible undertone of anti-American sentiment in a continent that is more important to U.S. defense than either Europe or Asia . . . And if such a policy should eventually lead you to lose Latin America, as you lost China, the enemy will not be facing Hong Kong, but the straits of Florida...
