...only after the Spanish were defeated and Cuba was free that the conscience of many Americans was disturbed by the unexpected annexation of the Philippines. The Anti-Imperialist League, founded in Boston by such well-known men as Grover Cleveland and Andrew Carnegie, attracted 500,000 protesting members, as U.S. troops found themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to put down Philippine Guerrilla Leader Emilio Aguinaldo's liberation movement. "The Administration seeks to extinguish the spirit of 1776 in those islands," declared the league's 1899 platform. "We demand the immediate cessation of this war against liberty...
...throw Red Guards out of some buildings. The Red Guards have set up loudspeakers in some of the buildings they control, and so have rival Maoist groups. They indulge in loud verbal battles, with hysterically screaming girls pouring out torrents of abuse at each other and at "U.S. imperialist aggressors." As we inched through the masses at one point, a beautiful Chinese travel-service girl told me with a delightful smile: "Chairman Mao has taught us that we must crush the American aggressors. We must kill, crush, destroy all imperialist monsters." I asked her if she really believed that...
...More Imperialist than the U.S. India and China are historic rivals and enemies, but Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia was one of China's few remaining friends in Asia-until last week. When the Chinese accused him of "imperialism, revisionism and reaction," Sihanouk, who has lately been troubled by smatterings of Communist insurgency in rural areas, reacted quickly.

Sihanouk warned that he would break relations with...

Nasser refused to compromise because "such a move would encourage future aggression to get further concessions." In Damascus, Tito heard the same. "Imperialist machinery," trumpeted the Baathist Party's daily Al Baath, "is conspiring to produce peace. The Arab answer is: never." In Iraq, Aref told his Yugoslav guest that Israel would first have to with draw unconditionally from Arab soil, then there could be peace-maybe. By week's end Tito...
...organized by President Joseph Mobutu's Mouvement Populaire Revolutionnaire, the only legal political party in the Congo. Outside the Belgian embassy in Kinshasa, it began to work up quite a head of steam for its "spontaneous anti-imperialist demonstration." Primary object was to protest the seven-week-old rebellion of the Congo's white mercenaries, who were fired by Mobutu and subsequently captured the border city of Bukavu by force. Loudspeaker trucks promised immediate satisfaction to all loyal Congolese right there in Kinshasa. Before the shouting was over, announced the sound trucks, the Belgian, French and British ambassadors...
