The refusal of the Indian gov
ernment to attend the signing
of the Japanese peace treaty at
San Francisco may be q blessing
in disguise.
Comrade Andrei Gromyko,
who is vying with his chief, For
eign Minister Andrei Vishinsky,
for the title of greatest inter-
national nuisance" is certain to
do his very best to sabotage the
treaty.
The fact that the Indian gov
ernment will be absent from San
Francisco deprives the Muscovite
diplomat of an ally and gives us
a better chance of sticking to
the stringent agenda, which calls
for signature of the treaty by
September 8.
The attitude of India Prime
Minister Nehru is glaring ex-
ample, however, that we cannot
possibly buy" friends, regard
less of how honest and high
minded our motives may be.
The State Department pres
sured Congress into voting a
$3.50 million loan to India to
provide wheat for its starving
population. While the admins

of a number of legislators that
we ask the Indian government
to lift the embargo from some
highly important strategic
materials as gesture Of good
will toward this country, which
carries the bulk of the burden
of world rearmament.

to the American type. Yet the
United States has done more to
help India become a free coun-
try than any other nation in
the world.
1t was President Roosevelt as
far back as 1943 who talked
bluntly to Prime Minister
Churchill about the pressing
need to give the Indian people
their full freedom. Our leaders
were convinced, then. as they
are now. that colonialism must
go.
1t is true that they did not
insist in time that the French
treat Indo-C China and Morocco
as the British treated India and
the Dutch Indonesia. But we
did use arguments and pressure
to induce the British govern
ment to give up political and
economic control over India.
Had our Government been less
insistent to London on this
