...this year's foreign visitors to Washington have left behind so many favorable impressions as Indonesia's President Sukarno (TIME, May 28). On the next leg of his world tour, Sukarno turned his steps toward Moscow. Said Sukarno, no Red but Asia's top neutralist after Nehru: "I am not going to the Communist countries to seek a state of mind. I already know the Marxist state of mind.

Rule of East Pakistan by the Awami League, which wants Pakistan to switch to a neutralist foreign policy, carried unpleasant implications for the U.S., which considers Pakistan its most reliable ally on the Asian continent. It also posed a considerably more immediate threat to Prime Minister Mohamad Ali, 51, the lean financial expert who has led Pakistan's central government for 13 turbulent months.

Finally, bit by bit. the government began to admit facts which it had been suppressing for more than a year. The Chinese "invasion," said the government, was limited to the Wa States, where Red troops began to cross the border in the 1954-55 winter. By May of last year, Chinese Communist forces had established semipermanent outposts inside the Wa States...
