...taken it upon themselves to find a solution to India's dispute with Red China over the aggression in the Himalayas. After three days of top-secret sessions, the neutrals solved the problem all right. They will recommend a demilitarized zone along the Himalayan frontier and suggest that neutralist nations be chosen to police the forbidden zone. It was just the fuzzy solution Red China would adore...
