...Imperialist Product. Red China's first attempt to bite off an Indian finger came after its subjugation of Tibet, when it repudiated the so-called McMahon Line, the border arranged between British India and Tibet in 1914, and named after the head British negotiator. Running across N.E.F.A. from Bhutan to Burma, the line set the border at the watershed at the crest of the highest mountains.

As a result of the end of the Arab-Israeli fighting in 1949, Jordan increased its population by about two-thirds; all of the new citizens are Palestinian Arabs, many of them refugees who feel no loyalty either to Hussein or to Jordan. Little Jordan (pop. 1,600,000) gets...

Dr. Castro has not penetrated South America by means of his currency and rep-resentatives; his principal value to the Latin American Left has been symbolic. That value, by virtue of what the Left calls imperialist persecution, has lately increased considerably, and one may reasonably expect the outbreaks of violence of the last month to continue...
