...followed by stalemate and armistice, in Indo-China by retreat, and in the Tachens by evacuation. Today, even a hint of further retreat seriously demoralizes those Asian political leaders who have crawled out on a limb to support U.S. policy. For example, in the politically sensitive Philippines, President Ramon Magsaysay last month summoned all his prestige to fight through the Philippine Senate a resolution backing the U.S. stand on Formosa. Magsaysay's supporters, erroneously interpreted the U.S. position as insuring defense of Quemoy and Matsu. On this basis Magsaysay and his friends won a smashing victory. Last week, with...
...pursuit of such ways, Dulles spent 1954 in a ceaseless round of travel, logging 101,521 miles on journeys to Berlin, London, Paris, Caracas, Bonn, Geneva, Milan, Manila and Tokyo. In one fortnight last September, he munched mangoes with Philippines President Ramon Magsaysay in Manila, conferred with Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa, visited Premier Yoshida in Tokyo, reported to President Eisenhower in Denver, consulted with Winston Churchill in London and talked with Konrad Adenauer in Bonn. En route, he read a detective story in mid-Pacific, slept soundly across the Atlantic, and carried on U.S. State Department business...

"Why not," suggested U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, "call it the Manila Pact?" And when Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay took up the phrase in a speech, this seemed to be the winning label...
...deal has persisted: the Philippine government seemed almost as anxious as Taruc to stop the costly bloodletting. Despite Taruc's acknowledged involvement in killing, the government had not asked the death sentence, but it had plainly expected a lifetime jail sentence. "I am shocked," said President Ramon Magsaysay. "For the No. 1 Communist of all to get such a light sentence is a mockery of justice." Magsaysay forthwith ordered his legal aides to 1) appeal the light sentence, 2) press murder charges against Taruc...
