Late one night last week, four Chinese Nationalist cops strode into the shabby living room of Kung Teh-pai, editor of Nanking's National Salvation Daily (circ. 15,000). Without a word, stubby, rugged Editor Kung, who has well earned his reputation as China's most outspoken editor, reached for his hat. After 25 years of writing what he thought - and eight previous arrests - Kung knew what to expect. He told his wife: "You can reach me at the prison." The day before, Kung had written a long, angry editorial accusing retired President Chiang Kai-shek of "manipulating...
...nationalist problem is far more subtle than Jilka's hysteria, far less a conspiracy of individuals than of circumstances. It is not being nourished by would-be world conquerors or old Wehrmacht leaders meeting in secret underground. It is being nourished by the Soviet-zone concentration camps, which are no more decent than those of the Nazis, by the Soviet blockade of Berlin, by the division of Germany, by the inescapably antidemocratic machinery of military occupation, by the bitter polemics between East & West, by divisions among the Western powers that keep them from forming a coherent policy of their...
...fire-eating, conscienceless nationalist speaks shrilly from the past. Standing a stone's throw from the infamous Dachau, where a refugee camp now huddles, I listened to the booming voice of Franz Jilka: "Give us another war!" Jilka is one of three million Sudeten Germans driven from Czechoslovakia after the last war. He is an old Social Democrat, 64, grizzled, tough and thirsting for revenge.

Before the war, the Netherlands East Indies supplied one-fifth of Holland's national wealth. Although the Dutch had ruled benevolently and were generally respected by the natives, the victory of Japanese troops in 1942 had a profound effect on the nationalist movement. Full of promises, the conquerors set up a puppet government of nationalist leaders. Collaborators soon found the promises worthless, but in 1945 they did not regret their move. The Japanese surrender caught British and Dutch troops unprepared. To keep order in the Islands, the Allies were forced to recognize existing Republican sovereignty in Java and Sumatra...
...United States, Belgium, and Australia, but both sides have disregarded its directives. The Renville Agreement of January, 1948, did little but restate the ambiguities of Lingajatti and proved abortive. With the help of a complete blockade of Republican territory, the Dutch were playing on time--snipping off pieces of nationalist holdings and converting them to pro-Dutch states. On December 19, Dutch paratroops descended on Jokjakaria and captured the heads of the Republican government, saying that it was no longer capable of keeping order in its territory or preventing violations of the Dutch border...
