60. The Far East, however, is not alone in having the doubtful privilege of these dangerous confrontations. In the Middle East, in spite of the precarious armistice which has been in existence for many years, Israel and its neighbours are still in a state of veiled belligerence.

Berlin and the division of Germany are a permanent source of tension and the Cyprus crisis is smouldering like a fire beneath the ashes. 62. In America, the periodic agitation in the Caribbean, aggravated by outside intervention, is a source of constant concern.
