Today. Cambodia is governed by a regime that will most likely be fiercely antiAmerican. Today it is a country devastated by war. whose people have been uprooted from their villages. whose people are starving. whose people are refugees. These results were almost insured by the fact that our Government propped up and supported the corrupt Lon Nol regime. a puppet regime which was doomed to collapse once its benefactors withdrew support. It is a final bitter commentary on the Lon Nol regime that one of the last acts of the National Bank of Cambodia. before the collapse of Pnom Penh. was to cable a request to the Irving Trust Co. of New York to confirm an order to pay $1 million to Lon Nol.
