Why is this meeting so ominous? For two
reasons:
I. Here are the makings of a dynamic new
alignment of political forces - an alignment
which, if it solidifes. must make more and
more difficult the free worlds struggle to stay
the advance OF Communism.
2. Here, too, are the makings of broad
racial alignment - more dangerous in the long
run than the political. The roster of nations
invited to Bandung is pointedly overbalanced
with non-whites. The meeting may prove to
be the first important manifestation of con-
scious, deliberate banding together of the nom
white world against the white. And nothing
