United States policy in Vietnam has been guided primarily by one objective: containment of China. To say, on the one hand, that the U.S. is waging an imperialist war for private profits, is to deny the economic realities of the situation in Vietnam. And to maintain, as the Administration has, that the U.S. is defending the "freedom" of the South Vietnamese is to belie the political realities; from 1946 to 1954 the United States helped finance a French war against all of Vietnam, and since 1954 has supported a series of dictatorships in South Vietnam...

Negotiators for West Germany's giant Krupp empire last week were tidying up a deal to build plants in Poland that will be German-owned but will employ Polish labor, and Hungary and Rumania have expressed lively interest in similar permanent, paying capitalist boarders...
...think they could have found one to cite. I peat last year in Southeast Asia, is India, Thailand, Formosa, the Philippines. Everywhere I heard that Ho had once been regarded, and rightfully so, as the George Washington to Indochina.
