...years of injustice . . . The Ethiopian people have waited patiently to be freed of oppression, poverty and ignorance." The Crown Prince promised to set up a true constitutional monarchy, and to allow the creation of political parties-for which his father has no taste. In the Congo, Ethiopian Chargé d'Affaires Sabour Ahadou gleefully got out a statement hailing the coup as "the long-awaited revolution that marks the end of centuries of feudal oppression, injustice, arbitrary personal rule, corruption, suppression of fundamental human rights and the imprisonment of thousands of people...
...British government has decided to change its stand on Red China, which Britain recognized in 1950 (only to have Peking treat its chargé d'affaires like an inconsequential emissary from a banana republic).

"I'm not at home to you!" screamed Welbeck, waving a red and white fetish stick in indignation. "Get out and stay out!" Already on his way to the door, Nussbaumer turned and shouted: "I'll be back at 3 o'clock to make sure you take that plane...
...Back in the Congo the vote strengthened the hand of Kasavubu's key ally, Congolese Army Commander Colonel Joseph Mobutu. Six weeks ago Kasavubu had declared Ghana's Chargé d'Affaires Nathaniel Welbeck persona non grata on the ground that he was running around Léopoldville whipping up support for Lumumba, who since his dismissal has rarely dared to venture out of the official mansion where he is still holed up. Instead of leaving, Welbeck kept right on operating from the Ghanaian embassy, where he was guarded by Ghana's U.N. contingent. Last week...
