This week, his next European step unplotted. Secretary of State Dulles emplaned for the Philippines. At the Manila conference the U.S. will seek an agreement of some Southeast Asian nations for a collective pact against Communist aggression. This idea was generated as a reaction to the Indo-China collapse. But the defects of any possible Asian pact advertise the weakness of the anti-Communist position more than its strength (see FOREIGN NEWS). India, Ceylon, Burma and Indonesia will not go to Manila. South Korea and the Chinese National ists of Formosa, which have thoroughly anti-Communist governments and fighting forces...

By the light of the flames that roared up over Indo-China, the dark and distant land of Burma has become visible. Can Burma defend its 1,000-mile Red China frontier by itself? Can Burma be saved? Will it get help-or accept...
...civil war. U Nu is a man of infinite modesty and quietness; he likes to drive out, on afternoons when he can get free, to a "meditation house" built on stilts, a tall man's height from the ground. U Nu must now meditate upon the fate of Indo-China, and he does not shrink from its implication: "Most of the countries of Southeast Asia are like this house," U Nu tells his visitors. "As the wind blows, they go to and fro like this."UNu flaps his hands...
