...ire over Dow's ability to produce fire is largely misdirected. So far this year, Dow has supplied the Government with $5,170,000 worth of napalm-less than one-half of 1% of Dow's $1,034,000,000 world-wide sales. By contrast, Lockheed Aircraft supplied $1,531,000,000 worth of equipment to the Defense Department last year. Only about 100 of Dow's 35,000 employees are involved in making napalm.

Peking threatened to cut off trade with Japan, as it had done in 1958 for five years after a Chinese flag was pulled down in a Japanese department store display, and underscored its ire by expelling three of the nine Japanese correspondents resident in Peking...
...hold to closer account the officials of a democratic government. And opposition parties must be encouraged so that voters will have a meaningful alternative to an administration corrupted by long years of uncontested rule. Better communications will bring the fire of a crusading press to distant villages, and the ire of distant villages to bear on the people in power. Increased contacts with the rest of the world should help to develop greater understanding of the techniques of government and business competition; and this, in turn, would encourage the confidence of Western leaders and international agencies, tired of seeing their...
