Reaction to Tibetan Situation
Afro-Asian reaction to events in Tibet continues to be

press and by important personages concentrate on Peiping's
ruthless suppression of. the Tibetan people, on China's new
form of imperialism, and on its attack on the Buddhist reli?-

Indian public opinion is still running well ahead of the
government in condemning Chinese actions, In Indonesia,
the next largest neutralist country, the press is concerned
with the fact of "Asians kicking Asians around." and. feels
that Peiping may lose most of its friends. In Buddhist Cey?-

The Yugoslav press says the Tibetan revolt indicates
serious "deficiencies" in the policies of Chinese leaders.
Belgrade feels that the uprising has dealt a "heavy blow" to
China and to the struggle for socialism. Peiping, in turn,
has accused Yugoslavia of "distortion" and referring to
