In New Delhi he sought to convince Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru that the U.S. is not a warmonger and would like to be a closer friend to India. In Djakarta (where the Times of Indonesia had declared only a few weeks earlier: "That man should be kept out of here, by force if necessary") Dulles' car was heckled by youths who cried, "Down with SEATO!"

...mentor. Last month, after a state visit to the Philippines, young Sihanouk began expressing views like those of Nehru. Angry at some heavy-handed "advising"' he had been subjected to in Manila, he charged the Philippines with participating in a U.S. plot to ensnare him into the SEATO pact (see above) and protested bitterly that while the U.S. had given the Philippines heavy farm machinery and hospitals, all Cambodia had got was "fancy automobiles and refrigerators...
