...fire line; Red China was trying to play Pakistan off against India by offering the Pakistanis a non-aggression pact. No longer counseled by ousted Defense Minister Krishna Menon, who obsessively regards Pakistan as India's main enemy, Nehru finally agreed to write Pakistan's President Ayub Khan, suggesting top-level talks on Kashmir. Ayub promptly assented. This, of course, was no assurance that the two foes would ever come to an accord in the bitter dispute at the conference table; but at least they would now be negotiating-and in the process perhaps hurling fewer curses...

Told by the Russians that the General Committee, of which he is chairman, was "debasing its dignity," Zafrulla Khan retorted coolly: "The committee is the guardian of its own dignity and well able to take care...
Other Commonwealth leaders declared that Britain's realignment with Europe and away from her Afro-Asian partners will only deepen the chasm that divides the underdeveloped southern nations and the affluent Northern Hemisphere. Said Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan: "You cannot expect friendly coexistence between those countries that are deliberately kept backward and the ones that are bulging with wealth." Black Africa's "uncommitted" Commonwealth members, notably Tanganyika and Nigeria, stoutly rejected Europe's offer of "associate membership" in the Common Market on the theory that this would tie their policies to Western Europe, NATO...
