...approval in Congress, where cotton-state legislators are nervous about cotton-growing Egypt and where Zionist spokesmen have held Nasser to be the Middle East's archvillain. The Sen ate Appropriations Committee earlier had been so bold as to "order" Dulles not to make the Aswan loan from Mutual Security funds. Dulles firmly resisted such an unconstitutional demand. But the whole argument became academic when Dulles decided, for foreign policy reasons...
There were also immense problems of diversity and disunity. Indians speak some 200 dialects, including 14 distinct major languages.

...cook. Big powers acted in concert, and the small powers were expected to know their place. The financial side of diplomacy was a relatively simple matter of buying allies or buying off potential enemies. In mid-20th century diplomacy, financial dealings must be disguised under such inoffensive names as mutual assistance, economic cooperation or foreign aid, and economic aid has increasingly become regarded as a debt that rich nations owe poor ones. Prince Metternich never had to wrestle with some of the difficulties that preoccupied diplomats and governments all over the world last week. Items...
