...also played a part in Taiwan's newfound prosperity. Last year the Nationalist Chinese sold South Viet Nam some $100 million in machinery, fertilizer and other goods, nearly 15% of Taiwan's total exports. In Japan, the U.S. military during 1967 bought some $200 million worth of goods for Viet Nam, ranging from sandbags to Isuzu buses. The war less directly helped generate another $800 million in Japanese exports; for example, G.I.s based in Southeast Asia purchased 13% of Japan's total camera exports. Other beneficiaries include Singapore and Malaysia, which store and ship Viet Nam-bound...
...Nationalist Obsessions. In particular, Harold Wilson's government met humiliating defeat in Scotland, long a stronghold of Labor strength. There, instead of losing to the Tories, Labor was beaten chiefly by the Scottish Nationalist Party, a party so weak a year ago that it amounted to little more than hope in the minds of its 60,000 members. Even last fall, when the Scot-Nats elected Mrs. Winifred Ewing, 38, a lawyer and mother of three, as their first member in Parliament since 1945 (TIME, Nov. 10), few considered them serious electoral contenders...
Last week the Nationalists drew 350,000 votes, captured an astonishing 103 seats in Scottish cities and towns. That was not enough to give them a majority in any city, but in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Stirling, they outpolled major parties to win the balance of political power. Those gains demonstrated that nationalism-the dominant political emotion these days in almost every country-has become something of an obsession in Scotland. Heady with victory, Scot-Nat leaders renewed their demand for independence after 261 years of union with England. Said Mrs. Ewing: "The Nationalist Party cannot now be stopped...
...White Devils" has, in the black racialist view of the Black Experience, endowed the Black man with a special aura of righteousness--that same righteousness indeed that has been applied to the oppressed and the wretched of the earth since the birth of Christianity. Of course, the typical black nationalist would not today attribute to Christian doctrine his view of the special righteousness accruing to the oppressed and despised Black Man. Yet it is one of the striking ironies of the black nationalist approach to the Black Experience that the Christian doctrine, now considered an historical agent of the Black...
...therefore, the Black Experience is, I daresay, little more than an offshoot of the Human Experience--no better and no worse. Perhaps I can put this point in sharper relief by reference to other features of the slave trade to the Western Hemisphere that seldom appear in the black nationalist view of this horrofying historical event. To those who take the historiography of the slave trade seriously, it is commonplace that leading and entrepreneurial groups in Negro African societies were voluntarily privy to the slave trade. These groups saw the trade in slaves as an economic relationship, from which enormous...
