western countries have been slow in
accepting, is the extent Of the Len
mist influence. If it could from the
beginning dominate the military
forces, and extend in a few weeks
through all administrative districts
to the Pacific, based as it was partly
on misrepresentation Of and hostility

have somehow come to believe that
the only interest their allies have in
them as a cats paw for British,
French and American Imperialism.
Fairness compels the admission that
the British government is largely re-
sponsble for this state of affairs. It
is senseless to dwell on past mis-
takes except to avoid them in future,
and at least to understand the ur,
gent need of doing something. Con
