White race fears rise through Far East travels
Dean of American war correspondents Earl von Wiegand reports growing antagonism toward white rulers across Asia from Bangkok to the Malay peninsula. He notes anti British and anti Zionist sentiment in Palestine, Iraq, and India, alongside rising Moslem awakening and calls for independence. He observes British air bases, Arab resentment, and the broader shift away from Western domination toward Asian self rule. He links education, economic exploitation, and racial stereotypes to mounting tensions, with America seen as a favored model of freedom by educated locals.
