Common Man Is

New York (PNS)—What is in
the mind of Asian leaders who re
fuse to take sides with either West
or East'.’ Since they blow neither
hot nor cold, the Westerner is of
ten tempted to consider them
pawns of the Soviet Americans
particularly are apt to assume
that any country that is not out
spokenly "for us” is necessarily
“against us.” That is certainly not
the case. Asian leaders as a group
are much more sympathetic to the
West than to the East, if for no
other reason, because they realize
that their personal self-interest
would not be served should the
Communists gain control in their!
c< iiintries.
The inscrutability of the Asian
mind is a treasured fiction which
b the Western world has great dif
ficulty in shaking off. Its sole bas
is in fact lies in the inability if

Supersonic Ramjet Is Revealed
THREE PHASES in the flight of the Ramjet, a rocket-assisted,
jet-engined wingless weapon being developed by the Britiah with
an eye to its* employment against attacking bombers. Top: The
Ramjet just after bring launched from its twin-railed ramp. A pair

Ramjet passes the speed of sound its rocket booster motors fall

•fficiently and it continues through the air at supersonic speed
our complex Western mentality to
accommodate itself to the
straight-forward, simple thinking
ot the East. To Asian leaders, for
example, nothing seems plainer
than the fact that since the idea of
a world organization for collec
tive security was originally based
on the presumption that the great
powers would avoid wars with
each other, the United Nations can
function successfully only if the
great powers find a peaceful way
to settle their quarrels
Admittedly, the present extent
of the differences between Russia
and the United States arid the dif
( ring circumstances which pre
vail in different parts of the world
preclude tht■ possibility of simul
taneously settling all the ten
sions that exist Hut the Asians
believe that a sltfrt has to be made
somewhere If the total problem
is ever to be solved. The present
crises in Korea, North Africa and
the Middle East make it impera
tive that the start be made in
Asia.
The underlying factor in the*
present situation in Asia is the
long overdue social and economic
liberation of the common man.
For decades now a revolution has
been in the making, originally in
spired by representatives of the
democracies Disillusioned by the

failure of the West to assist them
in their struggle, the common peo
ple looked elsewhere for a savior. ‘
That gave Japan its chgncc The
shibboleths of "Asia for Asians" J
and “Asian co-prosperity sphere"
held out promises which were*
eagerly grasped at by the com- i
mon people The leaders had to
follow along or be discarded
Once again a great power is
spreading false and dazzling pro
mises among the Asian people
Once again the people are seizing
oil these promises and are iden
tifying their hopes with the new
shibboleths id' "people’s repub
lics" and “liberation.” Objective
observers can see that what is
I happening is a repetition of old
errors Certainly the future under
Communist domination can be on
ly further enslavement But the
important fact is that the Asian
| people tire not able to look at
; Russia objectively. They si<c only
then own present sorry lot in life
and ask, What have we to lose?
They identify their own hopes
and aspirations with those pro
mises. Without knowing the sig
nificance of the word they term
theh revolution communistic anil
call themselves "communists.”
Again the leaders of Asia are
swept alorig by forces they can
not control. They fear terribly,
but are impotent to stem, the ris
ing tide of revolution. The lead
ers, for example, of the Arab
Asian bloc of the United Nations
certainly are not Communists.
One of them estimated that in the
conflict between East and West,
90 percent of the present Asian
representatives at the U N. favor
the West. But they are caught in
an awful dilemma. The nation
alistic aspirations of their people
must find an outlet and a forum
af the U. N. Almost always the
Russians, recognizing the propa
ganda value of such a move, sup
port the resolutions offered. The
U. S., tied to its western Euroooan
dlies, frequently feels oblige# |Q
oppose the Asian proposals.
Hence, without any other possi
ble course, Asian diplomacy finds
itself allied with the Soviet
i against the West.
Whatever the merits of the rea
soning which underlies the pro
posals brought to the U. N. by
Asian nations, it is poor strategy
for the nations of the West to
handle those resolutions in such a
way as further to alienate the
members of this bloc. Admitted
ly, Asian efforts to find a solu
tion for Korea have been poorly
conceived and haltingly executed
and have demonstrated some poli
tical immaturity. But the fact

Where The Money
Goes In Columbia
In the South American coun
try of Colombia, one-fourth of the
national budget goes for the
mnintenance^nf^luw ..ml order,
f’ratv.h!y about ti,t)t)U people in
that country have lost their lives
in the past year because the coun
try has been unable lo keep order.
The current troubles apparently
had their beginning m the iutd
election. While tho Liberal party
polled about 60of the vote, a
Conservative was elected Presi
dent because there were two Lib
cral candidates.
In 13411 one of the Liberal lead
ers was assassinated. Mobs ran
wild, burning and looting, in a
number of cities in the country.
It is not known whether the dis
order was spontaneous or wheth
er it was Communist-inspired
The assassin was lynched on the
spot and, consequently, responsi
bility for his act is not known.
In l()-tf) the Liberal refused to
vote because they said that the
strong-arm tactics of the Govern
ment made an honest election im
possible. Since that time, bands
of bandits or guerillas have hewn
roaming the mountains and light
ing with the police and military
patrols wherever they find them.
Within tlu> last month, a mob
burned two of the leading news
papers and the homes of two o!
the leading Liberal politicians.
The violence in Colombia appears
to he a struggle between two
strong parties, t’he Conservatives,
who are in power, and the Lrier
a Is. who are not. There appears
to be little real difference in the
political philosophy of the two
parties.
In many of the countries of
South America there has been a
pattern of discontented masses
rallying behind a leader who pro
mised them”"better times. That
was the case in Argentina, Ho
that these countries have realiz
ed the need and have awakened
to the role they are called on to
play is one of the few hopeful
aspects of the world scene today.
Instead of the impatience and ri
dicule which their efforts have
elicited both in official circle
anil the press in (hi*, country, wt
should be bending every energs
to encourage them to continue ti
seek a peaceful solution to tin
problems of Asia
