==Early criticism== The Plan has been criticised on various grounds. Some Asians see in it only the hand of British imperialism, especially as it is not aimed at developing national self-sufficiency. It offers an almost exclusively economic solution for problems which are also political and social. Dangerous issues such as landlordism and the organisation of labour, which invite [[Communist]] exploitation, are barely touched on, doubtless because it seemed politically inexpedient to raise such questions.<ref>Blackton, Charles S., [https://www.jstor.org/pss/3024398 The Colombo Plan], ''Far Eastern Survey'', 7 February 1951.</ref>
