Nevertheless, further U.S. assistance to Pakistan hung in the balance last week. The reason dates back to 1962, when the U.S. first began pumping military assistance to Pakistan's old enemy India, which faced invasion across the Himalayas by Red China. Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan, already interested in the nonalignment game, found U.S. aid to India reason to move more swiftly onto a path of warmer relations with Peking, and more recently, Moscow. Ayub's government-controlled press has also been a consistent critic of U.S. policy in Viet Nam, which no doubt influenced President...

Malaysia's Tunku Abdul Rahman - recipient of British arms and advice in his battle with Indonesia - feared that the team...
Firm Asian supporters of U.S. Asian policy don't grow in every bamboo grove. So it was not surprising that Lyndon Johnson, just a month after postponing the state visits to the U.S. of Critics Ayub Khan of Pakistan and Lai Bahadur Shastri of India, spared no pains last week in welcoming South Korea's President Chung Hee Park, 48. After all, Park has demonstrated his loyalty by sending 2,000 army engineers and a medical team to help out in South Viet...
