Yankee, Go Home! Just when the Red efforts seemed to be flagging, Communist China leaped in last week to heat things up. At first, Peking's propaganda line on Laos had been curiously restrained-presumably because Chairman Mao Tse-tung and all the top leaders have been away from Peking, hashing over their domestic difficulties at a secret conclave in the provinces. (Best guess as to their meeting place: the northwestern Chinese city of Sian, which fortnight ago received an otherwise inexplicable visit from North Viet Nam's goat-bearded Ho Chi Minh.) Last week...
Militarily, the conflict in Laos was strictly small bore. Why, then, had Red China wheeled up such heavy political artillery? The minimum Communist ambition may be to frighten Phoui into accepting return of the international control commission and readmitting the Laotian Reds into his government. But this seemed hardly worth a fuss that might queer Khrushchev's trip to the U.S.-unless, as some British diplomats speculate, it was Mao's way of reminding Khrushchev that Red China does not want any thaw in U.S.-Russian relations.

Through the years, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has leaned precariously backward to stay on good terms with Red China, to profess mutual belief in the five peaceful principles, and to sponsor Communist China's membership in the U.N.

Asked about the Red general's remarks, Nehru commented: "It would be an extremely foolish person who would make the remarks attributed to this gentleman." As for the "very large Chinese...
Returning from a 68-day world jaunt a month ago to find his country an economic mess and in political disarray, President Sukarno of Indonesia surrendered to army pressure by reviving the dictatorial 1945 constitution and appointing to his powerful new "inner" Cabinet not a single Communist Party member (TIME, July 20). Last week the Communists, who still claim 1,500,000 members, got another slap. On the very day that their newspaper Harian Rakjat (People's Daily) announced the convening of their big sixth national congress next week, Army Chief of Staff Abdul Haris Nasution ordered that...
