...neither the Leopoldville regime nor the U.N. was willing to fall for it again. "We have been duped before," huffed the Central Government's Information Minister Joseph Ileo. "We do not want to be duped again." The U.N. was more specific about the binding effect of the pact. "There is no question of ratification." announced a U.N. spokesman grimly. "As far as we are concerned, it is signed, sealed and delivered...
...ancient Buddhist principle of Panch Shila has supposedly governed India's relations with Red China since the signing of a 1954 trade pact. Based on the five great moral principles guiding the lives of all Buddhist laity,* Panch Shila was expected to guarantee each country's territorial integrity, nonaggression, noninterference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.

...Faraway Country. Macleod's case for the defense rests largely on the argument that the Munich pact was a wise if bitter expedient necessitated by the fact that Britain and the Commonwealth were "not ready for war." Growled the Times (which supported Munich): "The reply must be to ask why they were not." For though Chamberlain himself had realized the urgent need for rearmament four years before Munich, and later described Hitler as a "lunatic," he could close his eyes to all unpleasant evidence. He left the first meeting with Hitler at Berchtesgaden in 1938 radiating confidence that "here...
