Matter of Fact
FOLLOWING: U NU
Rangoon, Burma The least
pretentious and . most respect
worthy leader of the new Asia,
beyond much
- doubt, , is the
man who has
led the Bur
mese people
through ' their
hard times.

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 ,

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.

Specifically, it wants ; the UN

The United States is the lead

position as leader of the opposi

Red China's problem is to

Hed "China , (in violation, of

PRESUMABLY the ransom
money that will eventually
be demanded will be American

THERE is angry talk in Wash

their relatives do accept the
Chinese offer to permit them
to visit the hostage prisoners
they will themselves be seized

That one is inclined to doubt.
It isn't that the Chinese Reds
