Last February the U.S. offered a new plan that went about as far as the nation could go under President Eisenhower's long-standing declaration that the U.S. would accept only a ban that could be checked. The new U.S. plan would outlaw all nuclear tests in the atmosphere, in the sea, in space-and police the ban with a global network of long-range seismographs, plus international teams of inspectors to probe any suspicious earth tremors on the spot.

There was no longer confidence that 1) Asian solidarity, created at the Bandung Conference, would outlaw the use of force, 2) Indian neutrality and nonalignment with "military blocs" would gradually lead the Communist and non-Communist worlds to mutual understanding, 3) the repeated pledges of "peaceful coexistence" by Peking meant that Red China was worthy of joining the U.N. The national disillusionment was so great that even Prime Minister Nehru took off his rose-colored glasses, looked hard...
