Firm Asian supporters of U.S. Asian policy don't grow in every bamboo grove. So it was not surprising that Lyndon Johnson, just a month after postponing the state visits to the U.S. of Critics Ayub Khan of Pakistan and Lai Bahadur Shastri of India, spared no pains last week in welcoming South Korea's President Chung Hee Park, 48.

Shortly after Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan and Indian Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri demanded an end to American bombings of North Viet Nam as a precondition to peace talks, the White House asked them to postpone the trips to the United States that each had planned this spring. Washington's official excuse: "the congressional work load...
