110. Britain may cry victory now. South-East Asia is in turmoil. The unity of the peoples of Malaya, the Philippines and Indonesia embodied in the Manila Agreements is splintered. Sentiments are aroused, brother faces brother in angry quarrel. "Maphilindo", the real target at which Britain is aiming, is crippled. Crippled but not crushed. The "Maphilindo" spirit is still running high in Indonesia and in the Philippines. And even in British-sponsored Malaysia, there are signs that it has not been entirely extinguished. The immediate future seems dark for the sister nations of South-East Asia; but their natural affinity will surely triumph over any temporary conflict. And then "Maphilindo" will once more present itself to the world, in greater strength than before, free from colonial stains.
