...wanted the threat defined as "Communist aggression" because it did not want to find itself pledged to stop some other kind of aggression (e.g., an India-Pakistan scrap). The British wanted to take out "Communist" on the grounds that unless this were done, none of the neutralist powers could ever be persuaded to join the alliance...
...long considered a docile member of the Nehru neutralist bloc, has recently developed an independence of his own. Though scrupulously determined not to be aligned, he once proclaimed: "Burma and America are in the same boat . . . We fight the same eVils."

There has been no serious effort to ferret out Communist teachers from the nation's 211 Chinese schools, or any effective attempt to counterbalance the active (100 members) Marxist Chinese Students Association at the University of Rangoon. In Indonesia the problem is much the same. There are some 100 Chinese schools in the country, and many of these show their sympathies by displaying huge portraits...
