Comments

There are three possibilities fol-
the future of China. First, Russian
domination, second, American do
mination, and third, there is anoth-
er alternative-an attempt by AM
erica to bring about a more con-
structive way of economic develop
ment which would preserve the
country's sovereignty and raise the
standards of its people. Barbara
Ward, editor of The London Econo-
mist.
ut has never dawned upon the
American people that if we had
tried to cover up all of the Germans
and all of the Italians in America
as we did all of the Japanese, and
make them live in camps. we would
have had the equivalent of a civil
war on our hands. "--Sen. Ebert D.
