Though the U.S. will not have its own list ready for at least two months, it promptly made it clear that it would hold to its ban as far as Communist Asia (China, North Korea, North Viet Nam) is concerned. Other nations follow no such double standard for Eastern Europe and Asia. They will now be allowed to export to any country that wants them such newly freed items as civil aircraft (including turboprop), all kinds of trucks, tankers under 18 knots, industrial diamonds, all petroleum refinery equipment, all turbines and diesel engines. But for all their cries that...
...found official smiles and small but friendly crowds in big cities, rural hamlets, Siberian industrial towns rarely seen by Westerners. Among the trip's happiest chapters: a lavish official picnic in a forest near Sverdlovsk, within sight of a boundary marker inscribed "Europe" on one side and "Asia" on the other; a leisurely trip up the Volga in a side-wheel steamer left over from Czarist days.

Enlarging on the dangers to India of Communist infiltration of "the huge Pan-Arab Islamic land mass," Moraes asked: "Is it in India's interest to permit the penetration of any one foreign power here, or indeed of one pervading internal influence...
...Wastebasket." On the second day, Sobolev made the most of the Secretary-General's position. The U.S., he said, had thrown the work of the U.N. "into the wastebasket" while still "singing eulogies to the group." Under the circumstances, said he piously, "no self-respecting state in Asia or Africa, or Europe for that matter, will agree to send troops to pursue the purposes which the American troops are supposed to seek in Lebanon." What was the U.S. doing but resorting to Hitler's "big lie"? Retorted the U.S.'s Lodge acidly: "I must defer...
