Some editorialists also turned their attention to Nehru's old buddy and longtime apologist for Communism, Krishna Menon, Minister of Defense. Wrote top Columnist A. D. Gorwala in the Indian Express: "Let it be remembered that in complete contradiction of his usual practice of jumping eagerly into the discussion of any foreign affairs matter, Mr. Krishna Menon has kept his lips sealed in public about Communist Chinese aggression in Tibet.

Says he: "Those who deplore it are wasting their breath. The problem is to understand it and to live with it." The overlooked truth that Galbraith and others come back to is that businessmen today cannot operate on prices that run up and down like a boiler-room thermometer. They have...
