CRITICS
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
London, Oct. 19. American policy in Asia which was criticised in Lucknow at the conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations was defended today by the "Man- chester Guardian."
It is a strange turn of events, says the Guardian, that the Americans who joined in the attack on "the wickedness of British Imperial- ism" at the meeting of the Institute in Canada eight years ago should now be under fire.
