...murder was only one bloody spasm in a steady flow of terror in the Chinese schools of Singapore. Since 1951, small groups of Chinese Communist students, disguised under elaborate names (e.g., "The Chinese Middle School Students Anti-British Association for Independence"), have been gradually taking over the schools. Their leaders are a hard core of overage youth, many of whom purposely flunk examinations in order to stay in school longer. They secretly distribute anti-British propaganda, have directed a series of petitions and strikes against the proposed British school subsidy and the British draft law requiring a few extra hours...
...enthusiasm for the Suez settlement, Egypt's young Strongman Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser faced a quarter million of his people one night last week in Alexandria's Manshiya Square. On that very spot, he said dramatically, as a schoolboy in 1930 he took part in his first anti-British demonstration, first saw authorities shoot down fellow Egyptians.

...Irish who organise the anti-British feeling. But now that we are really becoming anti-imperialists, the bitterness and the imperialism of the McCarthys, the Mc-Cormicks, and the McCarrans take the form of denouncing us as Socialists, and, above all, as "anti-Americans."

In 1946 Britain offered Burma self-government "either within or without the British Commonwealth." Burma's stars at last seemed favorable: 31-year-old General Aung San, commander of the Burmese Defense army, agreed to lead the Cabinet; 39-year-old U Nu, anxious to return to his writing, became Speaker of Burma's brand-new Constituent...
Although General Zahedi had mentioned no nation by name (he has to get his people, so violently anti-British until recently, used to the idea), and had made no specific pledge, there were signs that Iran may be drawn into some such U.S.-sponsored defense arrangement as the Turkey-Pakistan pact. A month ago Russian Ambassador Anatoly Lavrentiev accused Iran of discussing a mutual defense agreement with the U.S. and sharply warned the Zahedi government against doing so. Iran replied that it would join any bloc it deemed necessary to its own defense. Those were audacious words to deliver...
