Nonetheless, an optimist could discern some signs of headway. Marcos noted cryptically that he had heard of a number of "initiatives for peace." U.S. Ambassador-at-Large Averell Harriman took off to brief leaders in Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Italy, France, West Germany and Britain on the conference-and there was speculation that he would try to persuade one of the governments along the way, perhaps Djakarta...
...rebirth of a 15-year-old Asian desire for concerted unity that has long eluded the region. The Baguio Conference of 1950, called by Philippine President Elpidio Quirino and held in the craggy, cool highlands north of Manila, brought together such disparate neighbors as Australia, Ceylon, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand, and ended with agreement on joint action for the region. The principle of "Maphilindo," endorsed by Marcos' predecessor, Diosdado Macapagal, idealized the hope of Asia's Malay nations (Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia) to regroup ethnically after ages of European-imposed fragmentation. Marcos himself has led the Philippines into...

In this new atmosphere, usually with little direct action by the U.S., a rather astonishing series of transformations has taken place...
There are limits, in any case, to just what the U.S. can do in Asia. It cannot-and, in fact, does not want to-exert control over the political and social life of Asian nations. Despite the fact that both India and Pakistan largely depend on American aid for their viability, for example, Washington failed in its efforts to end last year's Indo-Pakistani war. But in the national life-or-death issue of survival in the face of Communist subversion in Asia, only the U.S. is powerful enough to check the Chinese export and exploitation of revolutions...
