...land. A neutralist in the cold war, he plays hot and cold with the Communists. In 1948 he drowned a Red revolt in blood, in 1956 tried his hardest to bring Reds into the Cabinet. Played host to the Bandung Conference, at which Red China's Chou En-lai made much headway. Says "Nationalism, Marxism and Islam can be united" and obviously thinks he can handle the Reds, now Indonesia's fourth most powerful party...
...been able to stand by Dulles is difficult to understand. At Geneva, the President showed that sincere personal discussions with Soviet leaders are worthwhile, but at Geneva a year earlier, the Secretary of State departed from the Indo-China Conference boasting that he had never once spoken to Chou En-Lai. The President has called for positive reactions to petty Soviet moves, but the Secretary of State has responded to smallness with smallness--his retaliatory closing of 27 percent of U.S. territory to Russian nationals is typical.

Prompted by Nehru, Sihanouk next visited Red China's Premier Chou En-lai in Peking. Up to that moment Cambodia (the most serene of the three states that once made up French Indo-China) had been one of the few remaining countries in Southeast Asia where overseas Chinese, controlling most of the country's transport, banking and merchandising, appeared to retain a basic sympathy with Nationalist China. Said Sihanouk, stepping out of the plane on his return from Peking three weeks ago: "There are two Chinas, but the only China to which Cambodians go is Communist China." Almost...
