General Romulo added. "I global struggle that is now con- hope that a way can be found suming a great part of the time, to carry out Mr. Lie's proposal energy and resources of the great without delay.".

He said: "Mr. Lie is on his way to Europe to find new waya of bringing the powers concerned together in a fresh effort to com- pose their outstanding differences by negotiation. He determin- ed to try every conceivable means of putting a peaceful end to the cold war."

Expressing his whole-hearted support of Mr.

Only one answer could be satisfactory the people who. entered a

solemn covenant five years ago In San Francisco and that was action for peace through the United Nations.

THE CHINA MAIL, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1880.

......

London at the week-end

The most Important article in the magazines this week end is In "The Economist" on American policy in Asia.

It notes that there has been a audden increase in Russian self- confidence. It puts this down to the Communist victory in China and "the appalling confusion and disarray into which the defeat of America plunged American dl- plomacy."

"The Economial" thinks that pure chance played into the hands of the Russiane. "It was an unfortunata historical accident that, the debacle In China coin- elded with a period of intense division between Democrat and of Republican. Up to the time Picaldent Truman's electoral triumph in 1948 the President, locking control of Congress. hod worked closely and continuously with leading Republicans. The autumn elections of 1918 restored Democratie majorities In both Houses of Congress; bl-partisun- ahlp grew steadily weaker. This was the situation into which the Communist triumph in China burst with such explosive force. The Republicans, who had been waiting for an issue upon which to attack the President, took up the Chinese disaster with fierce satisfaction...The free world looked on aghart; the Kremlin took comfort and issued new bat- tle orders.

The answer, says "The Econo- mist," 13 In Mr. Acheson's speeches. America will back the governments of Asia which stand for national Independence and which economic advance, and "accept certain minimum stan- dards of international behaviour."

Recalling the co-operative at- titude that existed when the Unit- ed Nations was formed, Mr. Price said, "The world has undergone many changes since that day. The atmosphere of agreement and concillation has been succeeded by one of mistrust and suspicion.

Malaya

In the "Tribune, there la an article on Malaya by Mr. Woo- drow Wyatt, the leftwing Labour MP who is becoming increasing- ly well-known as an authority on the East. Mr. Wyatt begins with the basic facts. "On the one side: 70,000 police, 11,000 Bri- tish troops, 3,300 soldiers of the Malaya Regiment, and numerous aircraft. On the other side: 7,000 badly-equipped Communist bandits. Attacks on life and property still run at 50 to 60 a week....There is still no sign of the end".

Mr. Wyatt calls his article "Martial law is no answer." In fact he does not expect regula: troops to supply an answer in any remedy is guerilla form. His operations by the Government and an Improved Intelligence force, "Everyone who can speak Chinese should be pressed into service".

Mr. Wyatt is not pessimistic. "Most of the troops could be sent home tomorrow if there were 600 to 1,000 experienced guerilla fighters who knew what were trying to fight. If they were backed by strong security forces experienced in the Chinese language and customs in

But there is hope, because "there is no nationallit feeling behind the bandits. It is fear and nothing more that is on their aldo among the Chinese who are not active Communista".

India and Pakistan

Asia has received

very full treatment in this week's moga- zines. In "The Listener," Mr. Lionel Fielden continues his im- pressions of his recent vilt to India and Pakistan,

"After visiting India and Pakis- tan," he writes, "I do find it u little strange that the people of this country seem so tender to- wards India and so indifferent about Pakistan. In India one can dance, Да It were, on the top of a volcano with very charming people, but if we want some firm ground under our feet in the East, my advice would be-try Pakistan,"

Mr. Fielden, like other recont visitors to Pakistan, came away more impressed than he perhaps expected to bo. "Compared with pre-partition India or present-day Europe, this is a land of har- mony. It may be due to fear of aggression, it may be due to new found freedom, it may be due to Islam, it may be due to a bit of all three: anyway, it is there. The Ideal of Pakistan seems for the moment at least strong enough. to banish malice, backbiting, jealousy, party strife, class war- fare, and of course, as a last casualty, any sense of humour. Although you may be tempted to wish that Pakistan would laugh at itself a little more than it does, you are bound to be impressed by the transition from the rather backward, lazy Musulman of the Indian yesterday to resolute, and hardworking Pakis- the alert, tank of today".

Tailpiece: In the review o book in the "New Statesme Mr. Geoffrey Gorer, the antt.c pologist, quotes some strange statistics about English habits today. Almost 50 per cent of the male population of England takes part in football pools. Only five per cent of the male population has ever been to greyhound ound race. Richer men smoke between 16 and 17 cigarettes day, poorer men between 14 and 15. of One quarter American
