RE HOLIER THAN THOU ANTI COLONIALISM FIELD MARSHAL MONTGOMERY
"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.
