...rare news conference, India's Defense Minister Krishna Menon, who has often seemed to be more vigorous in defending Red China than India, accused the Chinese of "premeditated and concerted" attacks. Echoing the toughening talk of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Menon declared that India must throw the Communists out of its territory-"whether it takes one day, a hundred days, or a thousand days," Menon knew that it might take all that-and more...
Nehru fortnight ago appointed Lieut. General B. M. Kaul, 50. to act as "Commander of the Special Task Force to Intensify Operations Against the Chinese Intruders." A tough, Sandhurst-educated antiCommunist, Kaul was placed on indefinite leave last August after he questioned Defense Minister Krishna Menon's appeasement policy toward Red China.

Though Nehru termed the Chinese note "rather disappointing," he reaffirmed his desire "to settle our differences with China by peaceful discussions." Such apparent willingness to negotiate on Chinese terms stimulated cries of "appeasement" against Nehru's government. Attacks on Defense Minister Krishna Menon for his recent breakfast dates and cocktail party nattering with Chen Yi in Geneva have been stepped up, even though Nehru claimed that Menon was only acting under orders to probe China's real intentions in Ladakh. But Menon's contention that Ladakh was only "unoccupied territory" and Nehru's stance that...
