Sensitive to Strings
OF course, India is extremely SEN
sitive about accepting help with any
strings attached. This was sore
spot in early negotiations with Nehru.
The fact that India now is accepting
American help is the best testimony
that our aid is being offered without
any political conditions attached.
India's confidence in it's own eco
nomic future and its ability to avoid
Communist infiltration are monu-
mental. The United States, while
not sharing this high confidence, is
hopeful, to say the least. It views
the next two years in India as crit
ical. If by that time the Communists
have not made their move. American
officials believe the Indian recovery
program will be far enough along to
Withstand all foreseeable internal
Communist pressure.
Meantime, the present United
States administration has just about
given up trying to convince Nehru
that sitter policy toward commu-
nism is desirable. Nehru thinks the
only effective answer to Russian inn
perialism is the long, slow process Of
economic betterment of all under
privileged peoples. Apparently India
sincerely believes that Russia will not
interrupt this process, will not dare
to challenge the vast industrial power

ton Of the Taft Republicans, who
were outspokenly resentful of Lodges

manifest itself seriously in the pri-

At the same time, dissatisfaction
with the Democrats, who bore the

RosedoIe Ruckus

The irregular pattern Of segrega-
ton in the District of Columbia is
well illustrated by rules governing use
Of recreation facilities. Swimming
pools and parks run by the Depart
ment of the Interior, for instance,
are open to both white and colored
persons. Fairgrounds operated by
the District Recreation Board can
be either all-white, all-colored or
completely unsegregated.
The Rosedale playground, at Sew
enteenth and Gales streets Me-, is in
Q mixed white and Negro neighbor-
hood. The playground is reserved
for whites. For almost year the
Citizens Committee to Integrate the
Rosedale Playground, a group made
up Of both white and colored persons,
has tried to get the Recreation Board
to open the park to all comers. The
citizens committee also has encour-
aged colored mothers to take their
children to Rosedale to play.
Colored children did play there,
and city authorities made no move
to eject them. The whites, however,
began staying away. Last week
white man and colored man got
into a ball-bat-Swinging fight at the
park. The Negro. accused Of firing
two shots, was arreSted-so was his
adversary. The playground was closed.
It was scheduled to reopen tomor-
row as an all-white playground. Yes

cluding India, the largest prize Of
all. Reds are noted for such inten-
tions toward all countries Of the
globe. But their chances of success
in key parts of free Asia have not
improved much recently. Communists
have two means of spreading their
influence, military and theological.
Where communism is strongest in
free Asia. in Malaga and Indo-C China,
1t is being fought to a stand-off with
arms. In other Asiatic countries,
where the Reds seek to expand their
influence by theological means. they
are making little headway. India is
stalwartly anti Communist. Burma,
Ceylon and even Pakistan are follow
ing Indias example on the commune
ism question. Siam is well enough of
economically to be disenchanted. And
in Japan communism is not judged
to be a major threat. What interest
was built up early in the occupation
has been Subsiding in inverse ratio
to the violence tactics employed by
the Reds.
Indies Attitude
India, in spite of its friendly diplo-
macy toward Communist China and
Soviet Russia, is still widely regarded
as the broad foundation of non
Communist Asia. Prime Minister
Nehru and his Congress Party are
notably anti Communist. There are
only 10000 card-carrying Reds among
India's 357 million people, less than
8 one-thousandths of per cent.
Although the Communists polled five
million Of the lit million votes in
this years countrywide elections,
it would not be accurate to judge
their power on this basis. Many of the
q Communists who were elected to
the 496-seat lower house got there
in protest votes. They promised
usually unrealistically-to change
conditions that voters were known
to dislike. The Reds display of ar
rogance since they have been elected
has served to diminish their influence.
Outside Of the newspapers they
publish themselves, Communists get
little attention in the Indian press,
according to Indian Embassy officials
here. There is, in fact, a deep feel
ing among Indian representatives
that the world press plays up the
communism issue in their country
far out Of proportion to its impor-
tance.
But India is not unaware Of the
potential Communist menace, mill
tary or theological. The Communists
only military access to India would
be over the Himalayas, the most
formidable natural barrier in the
world. Because Of the rugged, noun
famous terrain which has only q
few narrow paSSagewayS, India could
counter even q large-Scale invasion
attempt with small force. midas
army garrisonS are In close touch
with the situation there, as Justice
Douglas reports in his book.
India does recognize the possibility
Of an theological threat developing
If the country is unable to improve
the lot Of its common people. If
the economic plans for India do not
pan out. there might be an oppor-
tunity for communism to feed on
the resultant unrest. Even then, how
ever, Prime Minister Nehru probably
would have the prestige to carry the
day. II he were to die suddenly
the picture might change, since there
are no leaders Of his stature vet on
the horizon.
Key Is Economic

are convinced. however, that Inn
proved economic conditions are the
best antidote to communism. India

India Shapes Up Hard Nut for the Communists to Crack

Free Asia is "fast being lost" to
the Communists, according to noun
tain climbing Supreme Court Justice
William o. Douglas. writing in his
latest book. Beyond the High Him
alayas" Doubleday; So. published
last Thursday. Soviet imperialism,
he says, gained a great victory"
when Red China swept the Dalai
Lama of Tibet into the Communist
orbit.
It was high-ranking Kashmir
lama. interviewed in a 300-year- -old
monastery high in the Himalayan
fastness. who led Justice Douglas to
this pessimistic conclusion. The
unique position of the 17-year- -old
Dalai Lama. spiritual and temporal
ruler Of Tibet, was said to be the
key to the clever Communist coup.
Justice Douglas informant put it
this way:
'"The Dalai Lama is the spiritual
head of the Mahayan school of Bud
dhisn, which embraces China, Japan,
Mongolia, Nepal, Tibet and the
string of Himalayan states separat-
ing China from India. "Buddhists in
these countries look to him as Cath
olics look to the Pope in Rome. #
the Communists control the Dalai
Lama, they are in fair way of con-
trolling that part of the Buddhist
world"
In the past few months there have
been other warnings that Red China
is inf1ltrating the small Himalayan
states that separate India from
China. This penetration is said to
be the prelude to Red attempt to
take over India.
If these reports are true they are
getting precious little attention. A
serious threat to India would be of
much greater consequence to the
United States and the rest of the
world than any trouble in Korea-or
q handful Of Koreas. Yet the world
Is all but ignoring the reports. So
is India.
Either the world is blind to a new
Communist threat potentially as dan
gerous as the one Mao Tse-tung
posed in China few years ago, or
these recent warnings are unduly
alarmist. The latter seems to be the
case.
Overestimotion
In the first place, Justice Douglas
KaShmir source seems to have over
estimated the power of the Dalai
Lama. The analogy to the Pope is
wide Of the mark. II, for example,
the Communists were to capture the
Pope in Rome. the worlds Catholics
would not change into Communists.
Nor is the Red capture of the Dalai
Lama converting all Mahayan Bud
dhiStS to communism. Some people
may be Influenced. But most of these
are expected to be in the compare
lively unimportant Himalayan states
on India's northern border.
AS for Japan, Mongolia and China,
the Dalai Lama has little influence.
China Is notably one Of the most ir-
religious Of the Buddhist countries.
Japan's Buddhism is split among
countless SectS, and has been watered
down over the years by Shintoism.
But the real test of the Dalai
Lama's stature is the amount Of COM
motion his capture" by the Com
munists has stirred up: Practically
none. There has been almost no COM
ment from outside Tibet. Buddhist
policy abroad did not change. The
general impression is that few cared
very much. one way or the other.
OF course, no one would doubt that
the Chinese Communists have inten-
tons to extend their influence
eventually through all Of Asia, in

The city is plastered with campaign

his place in the Senate, and no con-

more interest or excitement.
In prominence, political strength
and appeal, they are an even-Stephen
