DEATH OF IMPERIALISM Crowning Of National Revolution
New Ruling Class In Colonies
London, Jan. 11.
Both the French agreement with the free republic of Viet Nam and the Dutch agreement for a United States of Indonesia can be seen as the death warrant of colonial imperialism and as a worthy crowning of national revolutions, states Jonkheer A. T. Baud, who was Dr. van Mook's personal envoy to Indo-China. Jonkheer Baud, in an article in the British month- ly magazine "World Review" says that the two agreements also confirm social revolu- tions insofar as they implicitly "recognise a new ruling class among natives themselves: a class of western intellectuals to supersede the traditional native leaders.
