Senator's Strong Criticism Of US Asia Policy
Helena, Montana, May 22. Senator Mike Mansfield said tonight that "irresponsible" government spokesmen were undermining the "dignity and prestige" of the United States in Asia by "flaunting" this country's power,
The Montana Democrat, & member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,- said that when Asians watched the actions of US foreign policy, "there is a tendency for many of them to interpret US policy as a policy which emphasises force."
"For the mightiest power on the face of the earth to flaunt its strength in this manner is readily interpreted in Asia in the light of a man who threatens to shoot his neighbour if the latter's cow comes into, his pasture," said Senator Mansfield.
