...answer that did not say yes and did not say no. To say yes would be to undercut the United Nations, upset U.S. efforts to ease the Lebanon crisis by getting U.N. forces to replace U.S. troops. To say no would be to invite-unnecessarily-the duckings of the neutralist world and-more important-to strain the home-front political position of that valuable ally, Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, already under considerable to-the-summit pressure from Laborites. In talks with Dulles, Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd made it clear that the Macmillan government could...
Because Greece's leftists had rolled up 25% of the vote in last May's elections, putting new pressure on Premier Constantine Karamanlis' pro-Western government to turn neutralist, and because Greece is bitter at its NATO allies over the Cyprus dispute, the suspicion spread that Greece might be heading off into a neutralists' no man's land. But both Premier Karamanlis and Foreign Minister Averoff insisted otherwise. The Turks described the Greek meeting with Tito and Nasser as attempted blackmail. The Greeks replied that they were merely conferring with a next-door neighbor...
...General Mirza's central government. Politicians in the provincial capital of Dacca, where goats wander in the unpaved streets, argue that it makes little sense for Pakistan to spend 70% of its budget on arms when industry so desperately needs capital. East Pakistan inclines more to a neutralist foreign policy, and can see little profit in joining anti-Communist alliances such as the Baghdad Pact (though, if profit is the standard, Pakistan has received on a per-capita basis three times the U.S. aid given neutralist India). Nor are East Pakistanis much agitated over Kashmir, because if Kashmir were...

Avanti, organ of Pietro Nenni's red-tinged Italian Socialist Party, proclaimed that the executions "bring us back in full bloom" to the era of Stalinism. Burma's Premier U Nu called them "a horrible act." The Indonesian Socialist daily Pedoman drew a local moral: "We cannot fool around with the idea of cooperation with the Reds." In India, where Nehru's equivocation blunted the impact...
...spoken by about 2,000,000 Hindus, the descendants of migrants to Ceylon from India over the centuries. The present government of wispy Premier Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike, made up of an odd lot of left-wing parties, came to power two years ago, pledged to turn Ceylon neutralist and to make Sinhalese the "national language." When challenged by the Tamil leadership, the Premier conceded that Tamil could be recognized as the language of a "national minority." This roused the fury of the powerful Buddhist monks, who left off praying to the Sacred Tooth of Buddha to demand that...
