Communist props were everywhere. There was a Communist "pavilion of peace" and a little African girl at the entrance, selling a booklet entitled "South Africans in the Soviet Union." Communist China's Premier Chou En-lai cabled a message of support. To most of the 4,000 Africans who listened to the vivid harangues, much of the Marxist language probably made little sense when translated into Zulu or Sotho. But to the small group of Negro intellectuals, a "Freedom Charter," introduced at the meeting, did have an appeal. With the literates among them leading, Africans, Indians and colored folk...
...China's famine was not in evidence at the banquet for Ho given by Premier Chou Enlai, where, according to Radio Peking, there was much "clinking of glasses with those sitting at nearby tables." The Communists also feasted on propaganda. The U.S., charged Chou, is trying to block "peaceful unification of Viet Nam." "These plots," echoed Ho, "gravely threaten peace." Together, they demanded "thorough implementation" of the Geneva Agreements. Under the terms of Geneva, the Communists and the French are supposed to consult together July 20 to work out plans for an all-Viet Nam election next year...
...communiqué acclaimed the Bandung conference and repeated the five principles of "peaceful coexistence" worked out by Nehru and Red China's Premier Chou Enlai, with one slight amendment. The principle of "noninterference in each other's internal affairs" was made more explicit by the addition of the phrase "for any reason of economic, political or ideological character." The communique supported the Soviet plan for a complete ban of atomic and thermonuclear weapons. But the key passage was the declaration that "the legitimate rights of the Chinese People's Republic in regard to Formosa" should be satisfied...
India's Krishna Menon was the first to arrive. Fresh from Peking, he carried a proposition from the Red Chinese. Its gist: Chou Enlai, fearing U.S retaliation, has given up the notion of forcibly taking Formosa. The Red Chinese had shown their peaceful intentions by releasing four U.S. flyers (TIME, June 13); soon, Menon cooed, he thought the eleven other flyers still held prisoner in China would be released, too. In return, Menon hinted, it might be helpful if the Chinese Nationalists quietly abandoned Quemoy and Matsu...
Fellow Travelers. By all odds the most interesting VIP to arrive in the U.S. last week was Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov. It was difficult indeed for the free world to accept the picture of Chou giving pleasant little dinner parties for democratic diplomats in Bandung, or Khrushchev reeling with conviviality in Belgrade - but Molotov's change of pace was almost unbelievable. Twenty years of treachery and invective toward the West had made Molotov a symbol of the fanatic, devious, hate-filled Old Bolshevik. Now, like good Communists everywhere, he was suddenly trying to win friends and influence people...
