...troops now based on the Continent to fight in Asia. For the French, Chen Yi had a toast of his own. Said he: "I am deeply convinced that so long as all the peace-loving countries and peoples of the world unite and wage a common struggle, the U.S. imperialist plan for aggression and war can be foiled and the world peace can be safeguarded. The Chinese people are ready to make joint efforts with the French people to this...
...much ego to be a slave to anybody"). Nor was Indonesia a member of the Communist bloc. Sukarno had his own ideas. His government, he constantly proclaimed, was based on the principle of NASAKOM-the happy union of Nationalism, Religion and Communism. The world was divided into NEKOLIM (neocolonialist imperialist powers) and NEFOS (the Newly Emerging Forces that would destroy imperialism). To speed the destruction, Sukarno was building a costly headquarters for a new "U.N." to be known as CONEFO (Conference of Newly Emerging Forces). To promote the general cause, the Bung last year proposed a new Asian power bloc...
Brezhnev did succeed in forging a front of European Communist unity. The pact partners issued periodic blasts throughout the week at the "imperialist" U.S. and even vowed to send "volunteers" to Viet Nam if Ho Chi Minh called for help. All of the pact members had made such offers before, but Ho has yet to take them up.

Most Communist governments seemingly dusted off the rote anticapitalist, anti-imperialist tirade from the agitprop manual. Indeed, their response was probably the most realistic of all, for they had plainly long accepted the inevitability of U.S. raids on such inviting targets. One Moscow commentator noted that Soviet policymakers had regarded them as "imminent for some time." Peking, preoccupied with its internal "purification" purge, unstoppered the prescription brimstone but pointedly refrained from any specific threat to enter the war or increase its assistance to Hanoi. As for Hanoi, its reaction had a certain surrealistic quality, with broadcasts about "a big victory...
...Depraved Insanity." Minnesota-born Gus Hall, 55, the party's longtime "leading spokesman," delivered a three-hour, 30,000-word harangue that sounded strangely like a Molotov jeremiad from the '50s. He denounced the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam as "coldblooded imperialist aggression," "depraved insanity" and, in what was doubtless intended as the most formidable indictment of all, "moral degeneracy with no bottom." Then, contending that the party had "fought its way out of political isolation," he commanded the comrades to unite in a popular front with Vietnik and Negro groups to achieve "left unity...
