The gentle manner, t h e quiet speech, .. the benevolent e x pression r e p resent Joseph Alsop - one side of the man the side that makes, him wisn to. lay, down the Premier ship of Burma in order to enter Buddhist orders. But there is another side to Prime Minister U Nu a tough, resilient, realis tic and courageous side, as the recora very plainly proves. .-.This reporter was received in me -same roomy, , plain nouse where his partner was also re ceived bythe Burmese Premier in 1949. In those days, only six years ago, U Nu had just in- herited,pffice.as a result of .the assassination of the entire Bur mese .5- cabinet. And in j those days, U Nu and his young gov ernment truly ruled only . the barbed "wired entanglement in which .'they lived ' outside Ran goon. All else, including much of the city itself, " was in the hands of , "the, Communistst other groups of insiirgenli. i.!? v Now, v however, v the ; barbed wire is down; at last. The Com munists are on the run and the other, insurgents are at the end of their tether. Burma is on her feet as a nation. Immerne prob lems remain to be solved but there, is .the wonderful hope in the! air that is compounded of Burma's new freedom and even newer self-confidence. And - so U Nu has a magnificent achieve ment to look back upon. . But he does not look back (except that' he remarked with a grin that he hoped the report er's partner had not thought the ; Burmese government ; was nanickv ' in t the ;; barbed wire days.) Instead U Nu looks at the world around '.him, the dis ordered Asian world ; whose threatened . , upheavals are the real danger to Burma's future. TJE HAS just returned from A- Pelrin 9 " vuTnarek '! Via AarnA in praise American good-will and American good intentions in his main public speech to -the Chi nese Communists. Just as he said things in Peking that had ' not been heard there since the Com munist conquest, he now said things about China which Amer icans, will find hard to swallow In brief, U Nu described the Chinese Communists as passion ately : fearful of "encirclement by , American bases;" as firmly convinced : ? inai s ine ' uiixmate ' J . xl X ' XI ..x... I - American aim was to - attack their regime; and as being ready, lor these: reasons; to fight in order to avoid this "encircle ment." -' While . U Nu made it rather plain that he did not think these Chinese fears well founded he also indicated that their exis tence blight ; to be treated as a practical fact of, Asian politics. He added that he had received the most solemn assurance from the .. Peking i leaders that they would respect the integrity of their' Asian neighbors. And these assurances," he said, he had to believe until there was proof to the contrary." - If this had been all, one would have put.U Nu's analysis of Chi nese policy down as the grave yard whistling of the leader of a 'small country who hurries to be convinced by a big neighbor's smooth , talk precisely because the danger is so .great But this was not all. Instead the discussion turned to a coolly dispassionate analysis of the situation in South" Asia. Being a sensible man, ; U Nu believes the Viet Minn will win Southern Indochina in the end. He expects a Viet Minh victory in South Viet Nam to place Cambodia and Laos in situations of great danger. He foresees that Communist victory in Laos Pi and Cambodia, and above all in , Jtl V Y-' . -V saw4C By Joseph Alsop : - strategically placed Cambodia, will lead on - to a Communist victory in Thailand. And as the man who outlawed . the Com munist party in Burma, he quite clearly views this political chain reaction with intense distaste. - : : Like India's Jawaharlal Nehru racially, culturally and politi cally allied to China, and the Laotian and Cambodian peoples, racially ; non-Chinese, culturaUy Indian, and politically anti-Communist, should become the great divide in Southern Asia. He did not deny, however, that prevent ing a crossing of. this- divide would be a difficult business. TIE JDISCUSSED the problem A with calm practicality; with special reference to Cambodia. The first thing,' he . said ' (and with real insight).; was to ..free Cambodia of the last vestiges of French colonialism, in , order to give the Cambodian, people ; a true,- sence ' of independence. After .that, he "added, India and Burma too ought to assume . a serious ' political7 and moral re sponsibility for Cambodia's " fu ture, . establishing the -. closest links with the Cambodian gov ernment. v..-;-';' ' '' ,;.'"-t-1 . He was reminded, ', however, that there were also grave prac tical problems to be solved. Only extensive economic aid would render Cambodia independent of South , Viet Nam, to . whichshe has been tied by France in every possible way. Only the hardest and toughest kind of . military guaranty could give ; the small Cambodian nation the self-assurance to defy the great military power of the Viet Minh,: and to concentrate on building their own -future. And this aid and this guaranty, had to come from the West. -; ; . --V: To these; propositions, U Nu assented. But he asked whether a military guaranty ,, of . Cam bodia was possible without the transformation of Cambodia into an American r military base, which would immediately arouse China's fears. The reporter ven tured to reply that if India and Burma , were indeed willing to assume the chief political, and moral ' responsibility - in : Cam bodia : and the . rest of . South Asia, the American government ought to see that this was a far better bargain than the acquisi tion of - politicaUy -: untenable military bases; And this seemed to please U Nu. What he said should . also nlease the . nolicv makers in Washington. For if there is any way to halt the terrible chain reaction that threatens to begin in South Asia and: end by en gulfing the world, the job must be done on the principles that U Nu quietly but clearly sketched out.

THERE is angry talk in Wash ington to' the effect thaf if their relatives do accept the Chinese offer to permit them to visit the hostage prisoners they will themselves be seized and held as ADDITIONAL HOSTAGES. That one is inclined to doubt. It isn't that the Chinese Reds wouldn't stoop that low. A Com munist will stoop to anything to get what he ' wants. A more probable surmise is that they hope the relatives of these Americans who are held in Communist prisons can , be so broken by' the sight of these Americans who are held as host ages in savage hands that they will plead with their country to PAY ' THE : RANSOM MONEY and obtain their release. - WHAT shall we do?
