India, Pakistan and the United States seem to have mellowed on certain points of contention under the influence of the Tibetan situation. Nehru sounds more and more like a "Western" diplomat rather than a "neutralist," and American attitudes toward India warm as Indian outrage over Tibet grows. Last week The Times of India was filled with enough good feeling to advocate a summit meeting between Nehru and Mohammed Ayub Khan, President of Pakistan, praising the new Pakistani government as "the one with which we can do business.
