- The British wanted to throttle him. The very idea of a woolly-minded American standing on Asian soil denouncing imperialism inspired rage at the British Foreign Office. To the astonishment of the British, he did it not once but twice.

A joint communique issued by Wallace and Chiang Kai-shek expressed the same sentiment.
