Silken Pathway. Although Mrs. Roosevelt was traveling as a private citizen, she was treated almost like a visiting head of state. She addressed the Indian Parliament, was feted by scores of officials from Nehru on down. Newspapers ran her every word as front-page news. "Please," she pleaded at one point, when she was questioned about American race problems, "do not read Uncle Tom's Cabin and believe it represents the United States today." Indian Statesman Sir Benegal Rau spoke of her as a U.S. phenomenon comparable to Niagara Falls. In Bombay an admiring Indian textile worker spread...
Never had the Moscow radio poured such scorn and enmity on Prime Minister Nehru's Indian government. Nehru's sin, though Moscow did not quite put it that way, was to accept U.S. help in freeing India from its periodic famines...
...Nehru decided to set up 50 Etawahs right away, each to take in an average of 300 villages, inhabited by 200,000 people.

The Chinese Communists now regard...
...mission was carefully picked to give Nehru solid guidance on Red China-something his biased and gullible Peking ambassador, K. M. Panikkar, has failed to do. Panikkar's stock with Nehru is reported to be low. It wasn't helped any a fortnight ago when Panikkar's daughter Devaki married one of India's most prominent Communist bigwigs...
