"It is unfortunate that we (Great Britain) are always having to cork up colonial leaks, e. g., Kenya, Malta, Cyprus, and now Central Africa. This takes our eye off the ball; also, however unjustifiably, it gives scope to those Americans who adopt an attitude of holier-than-thou anti-colonialism; and even more unjustifiably it makes it easier for the Russians to portray us to colonial peoples as old-fashioned exploiters." Retired Field- Marshal Montgomery, "Nato-Past, Present and Future", 1959.
