...free people" but conducting an extremely inefficient and costly military operation against Communist China with little or no damage to the real enemy, and we are killing a lot of women and children. The idea that the free world would interpret withdrawal as giving up the fight is nonsense. Asian Communism can be contained from a number of bases, including Formosa, Japan, the Philippines and Pakistan...
...Asian Acceptance. Realizing that European migration alone can never adequately populate the land, many leading Australians now advocate selective Asian immigration. A Gallup poll reported recently that 73% of the population (v. 44% in 1958) would approve at least a small annual quota of skilled Asians. Apart from the economic strain, the government is all too aware of the strategic perils of underpopulation. With 3,000 fighting men in Malaysia (see story above) and a battalion in Viet Nam, half of Australia's combat-ready forces are already tied down in the widening struggle for Southeast Asia...

...teacher in a multiracial prep school solemnly modeled by its British founders after Eton and Harrow (Burgess himself served for three years as an education officer in Malaya). Bemusedly, Crabbe sees that the system is crumbling, but the snobbery is not. Malays hate Indians, who hate Chinese. Every Asian hates the British, and secretly despises himself for not being British. Crabbe, who does not think himself superior to the Asians, is regarded as a madman. Who throws away superiority unless he is mad? The turnabout suggests what is wrong with the novel. Crabbe is truly without self-interest, almost without...
