U.S. ‘Enemy’ Of Thailand
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BANGKOK, Dec. 28.
One of Thailand’s leading journalists said yesterday that Americans were just as much the enemies of Thailand as Communists.
Kukrit Pramoj, publisher of “Rath”, a leading Thai newspaper, accused Americans and American newspapermen of insulting Thailand’s King, destroying Thailand’s culture, and “bleeding and exploiting” small countries. He said that if Americans did not “take care”, some day the Thai people might smash down the Embassy and burn down the United States Information Service. Mr Kukrit is a grandson of King Monkut, who was the subject of Anna Leonowen’s book “Anna and the King of Siam”.
