...living in our midst since the Revolution, and now, all of a sudden, we have young people from the four corners of the earth among us. You must try to understand our confusion. We have been told again and again that your people are hungry and illiterate, victims of imperialist greed and oppression. We were never told that some of you had traveled to New York, Rome, London, Paris, and that we would envy you your clothes, your way of talking freely about things we don't dare to mention...
...waging against the Pagan Vietnamese people, but having on the other hand been brutally assaulted on the grounds of our contention in our "frankest moments, that Chinese imperialism is better for the East than American imperialism," are forced to call on you to end this minute your treacherous, oriental, imperialist policies. Your scheming, unprovoked stand "behind this whole movement to sweep the West off the peninsula," the peaceloving West which has never so much as megatonned a single Chinese city, and which has even borne the exorbitantly expensive burden of dominating South Vietnam for the last 11 years when this...
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.

As if to tell the West that Kosygin meant business, Moscow put out rumors that Russia was "angry and worried" over the U.S. moves in Viet Nam and even raised the possibility that Moscow might send Soviet pilots to fly the jets it was giving to Hanoi...
...meantime, Jagan fumes that the elections were an "imperialist plot" to oust him. His People's Party, which still controls 24 of the Assembly's 53 seats, continues to boycott the legislature and threatens renewed violence. In the past few weeks, bands of extremists have been roaming the countryside, derailing trains, cutting telephone wires and setting scattered fires in the sugarcane fields. This week Britain's Colonial Secretary Anthony Greenwood is scheduled to pay his first visit to the colony, and the British Army garrison is braced for whatever else Cheddi and his followers may have...
