...Nehru. On China and most other Asian questions. British Commonwealth policy is heavily influenced by India's Nehru. Britons, galled for decades by U.S. pressure for a free India, now take a wry delight in Nehru's anti-Americanism. They want to build up Nehru as Asia's leader. The U.S. is convinced that Nehru misunderstands and underestimates the Communist threat. By sitting out the Korean war, he showed that his country is not prepared to defend Asia from Red aggression...

In New Delhi, one of Nehru's senior aides also suggested that the U.S. do more to curb its ally, President Rhee.
