Addressing the congress next day in place of the absent Mao, China's Premier Chou En-lai attacked Yugoslavia and the U.S. in terms far more bitter than Khrushchev's, and defended China's people's communes as "the best form for developing socialism under Chinese conditions." At the close, Khrushchev threw his arms round the speaker and, according to an old Russian custom, kissed him three times.

The enthusiasm of the Indians was topped only by that of his own publicity men, who showered the press with London-printed brochures, glossy photographs, canned biographies and the repeated injunction that the great man's name is pronounced "En-Kromah." Acknowledging his debt to the "inspiration" of Gandhi and the "superhuman efforts" of Nehru, Nkrumah talked glowingly of his own "parliamentary democracy" back home...
