...Indian Express was unkind enough to point out last week, just ten years ago Prime Minister Nehru was patiently explaining his neutralism to the U.S. Congress and winding up with these ringing words: "Where freedom is menaced, or justice threatened, or aggression takes place, we cannot and shall not be neutral." Last week, with freedom menaced, justice threatened and aggression taking place just across the Himalayas from him, Prime Minister Nehru advised everyone to be patient...

Unsuccessful in Peking, Ghosh went back to Moscow to plead for help there, and last week completed his circle tour by scurrying home to New Delhi to try to hold the party together. Best measure of his success so far: postponement of a party central-committee meeting scheduled for this week, presumably to allow time for tempers to cool...
