...matters of Far Eastern policy, Canada's External Affairs Minister Lester Pearson tends to see eye to eye with Britain's Anthony Eden and India's Jawaharlal Nehru. But last week, when both Eden and Nehru criticized the U.S. decision to end the Seventh Fleet patrol off Formosa (see INTERNATIONAL), Pearson cautiously parted company with them.

Students, youths and workers, led by Communists, attacked Indian government property, cut telegraph wires, damaged railroads, burned rail cars and stoned fire engines, looted railroad restaurants, hoisted black flags of mourning over government buildings. Police, firing on rioters, killed seven and wounded forty. A 13-year-old boy attempted to halt a moving...
