At issue is not only the fate of Nixon's plan for the nation's economic recovery, which may depend on whether labor accepts the Government's wage guidelines.

During the past three weeks, moreover, India has built up its forces along its borders with both Pakistan and China. Whatever misgivings Indira had about leaving at such a critical moment were plainly outweighed by the belief that the time had come to plead India's case with other world leaders. Indeed, her departure itself, signaling that New Delhi apparently did not believe...
