...contrast to Gorton's unquestioning support for American policy in Viet Nam, the Laborites made it clear that they would pull all 8,000 Aussie troops out of Viet Nam by June-and out of Southeast Asia reasonably soon. Labor Leader Gough Whitlam, 53, laid out a program of social reforms, including a free health scheme and free university education at a cost of $15.6 million a year, and an emergency school grant of $112 million to cover immediate needs.

During the period when DAS was most effectively at work in Pakistan that country was moving ever closer into association with China. It was the only important non-Communist country in Asia so to move. This gave the State Department no comfort, as I can attest. It might cross one's mind that a relatively strong economy and the presence of a corps of independent economic advisers extensively recruited by the DAS from Canada. Britain and the Scandinavian countries added to Pakistan...
