Though the deadlock over this resolution has slowed the conference, it has not eliminated the possibility of a Southeast Asian regional security organization similar to NATO. Since India no longer outlaws the Communist party, presumably because Mr. Nehru wishes desperately to keep peace with Red China, this does not mean that he would not oppose aggression by the Communists.

For Nehru, on the other hand, the enclaves are a galling reminder that colonialism has not yet been pushed entirely off the Indian peninsula. "It is in the nature of things unthinkable," Nehru said, "for us to allow foreign pockets to remain in India...
