In September I attended a five-day conference in the Philippines under the auspices of the Asian Peoples’ Anti-Communist League. This organization was formed eleven years ago, just after the Korean War, at the initiative of non-governmental groups in South Korea, Free China, the Philippine Islands, Vietnam and Thailand. They understood that the armistice agreement in Korea, still no more than a truce, would free the Chinese Communists to expand their subversive efforts in all the countries around China. The Asian Peoples’ Anti-Communist League has been extraordinarily successful in its efforts to awaken people to the Communist threat. This year there were 115 delegates to the Manila Conference from 21 Asian and African countries. They included one white country, Australia, and five African countries, Kenya, the Congo (Léopoldville), Liberia, Somalia and Malagasy.
