...clear how far the U.S. itself is going to stick its neck out." Even Australia and New Zealand refused to co-sponsor the U.S. resolution, and at week's end the dismal list of co-sponsors included only the Philippines, Chad, Colombia, Costa Rica, Haiti, Honduras and Swaziland. The plain fact is that unless the Japanese government changes its mind following a Cabinet meeting this week, Taipei will almost certainly be expelled when the issue reaches the blue-and-gold chamber of the General Assembly, probably no sooner than mid-October.

Secession, moreover, would lead to the further balkanization of Black Africa, where many of the countries such as Gabon (pop. 480,000) and Swaziland (pop. 395,000) are already far too small to function as working national economies. Furthermore, attempts at revising Black Africa's map would undoubtedly plunge the continent into the same sort of bloody border wars that plagued South America in the 19th century. In its founding meeting in 1963, the 41-nation...
