Indian Leader Believed Given No Hope
For u. S. Meeting With Red China
BROWN

Dulles and Chou might not
commit this country to any
changes in its policies. But
its publicity would help the
Chinese Communists in Asia
far more than it would help
the cause of peace. After the
Chinese Communists have
withdrawn all their forces
from North Korea. as provided
in the armistice agreement of
1858. and after they have
ceased their bombaStic claims
that Taiwan must become a
part of the Peoples Republic
by agreement or by force. the
meeting suggested by Chou
through the voice of Nehru
would be possible and profit
able.
Neither was the President,
according to a reliable inform
ant. encouraging about the
lifting of the American en-
barge to Communist China.
But he was less positive on
this subject. it is said, than at
the meeting on the foreign
secretaries level. From the dip
lomatic point of view. it seems
necessary to continue the pres
ent embargo as a gesture. From
the practical point of view. it
is of little consequence. All the
members of the United Nations

have been dealing. more or less
surreptitiously, with the Com
munistS and in the last four
years have been selling them
not only nonstrategic but also
highly strategic materials.
But as far as this country is
concerned, the lifting of the
embargo would not help our
exporters and manufacturers to
any extent. They will not be
permitted to sell anything
which would help the Red
armies in Asia, as they can
not sell this kind of materials

THOMAS L. STOKES
The Atomic Power Program

Senator Gore said: Il did the
best l could to sell the adj
ministration's point Of view.
which you and ! attempted
earlier this year to rectify,"
the last a reference to his
effort, supported by Senator
Anderson. to get his bill en-
acted. He added that to the
Japanese officials he had "ex-
pressed confidence that. given
time. the research and develop
ment program of the United
States Atomic Energy Com
mission would develop type
of reactor that would be more
efficient than the Calder Hall
type.
But We can't wait five
years. Mr.. Shoriki said. Our
hydro-electric sources are vir-
tually exhausted. Our supply
of conventional fuel is very
short and, therefore, must be
imported. Our demand for
electricity is growing by leaps
and bounds. We must have
atomic power soon'."
AS the talk progressed. one
OF the Japanese staff said:
I'VE could not understand
why the United States Con-
gresS defeated earlier this year
the bill to bring about an
accelerated program of re-
actor development"
So the Senator learned they
had heard about the Gore bill
and its fate.
You can imagine how tough
it was for me to reply to this!"
the Senator wrote to Chair
man Anderson. II explained,
however, that the question I'M
fortunately had become in
volved in partisan politics,
that atomic power threatened
to become an issue in the APP
preaching presidential cam
paign and that the bill prob
ably could be regarded as a
victim of election year
politics"
1t hardly seems necessary to
point out the moral in this
tale.

Has Nehru FORGOTTEN So Soon?

What does America get out
of these visits? A gesture of
friendliness. to be sure, to the
Asian world and a manifesto
ton Of our policy of the open
door-everybody is welcome to
come and speak his views and
those of his countrymen.
But there is really no COM
mon interest, geographically,
commercially or militarily, be.
tween the United States and
India Even sentimentally, re-
lationS between the United
States and India are the same
as those of America with many
other nations in the world.
There is no special position
that India occupies which
would warrant the prominence
and attention being given here
this week to her Prime Minis
ter. There are far closer ties
with Britain and France and
the other peoples of Europe
and with Latin America and
the Philippines.
But, nevertheless, as long as
there are billions of dollars
which so many misguided
Americans want to give away
without strings"-that is.
without even assuring America
an ally in time of war-there
will be pilgrimages to this
country by prominent states
men, hat in hand.
Nehru is somewhat re-
strained this time in his crit
icismS of America. Perhaps he
is reserving them. as he did
last time, for an occasion when
he is back home. For the
moment, he is all courtesy and
all smiles-and the amount
that he hopes to get is, Of
course, not being mentioned.
It'll come out in the foreign
aid" program in due time
during the next session of
Congress.
Billions for allies-not one
cent for neutrals," will be the
battle cry of many Democrats
as well as Republicans when
the time comes to vote whether
to grant some more millions of
taxpayers dollars to Nehru.
For many members of Con-
gress. mindful of the thou
sands of American dead in
Korea, will hear again the
Kipling refrain. Lest we for

The long conversations at
Gettysburg between President
Eisenhower and Prime Minister
Nehru went along smoothly, ac-
cording to knowing sources in
Washington. in as far as there
was a community of ideas con-
corning the necessity of main
tanning world peace. But, ac-
cording to these sources, Presi-
dent Eisenhower was unable
to agree with the Indian states
mans suggestion that a meet
ing between Secretary Of State
Dulles and Communist China's
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
would help promote the cause
Of peace.
Neither was Nehru able to
promise President Eisenhower
any positive assistance in the
turbulent and explosive Middle
Eastern affairs. He is said to
have strongly complimented
the American Government for
the stand it took in the British
French-Israeli punitive meas
ures against Egypt. by making
it a United Nations cause. He
suggested, however, that what
ever final settlement may be
reached, not only in the Suez
Canal affair but also in the
rest of the area. should be not
a matter for any particular
power but for the United Ma
tons itself.
Eisenhower is reported to
have emphasized to his guest
that the present relations with
the Peiping regime cannot be
changed so long as its leaders
maintain their present trucu-
lent attitude. Even if some
people in the administration
might like to see a lessening of
the tension caused by the con-
tinued military preparations
of the Communists in the
Western Pacific, the public
sentiment is too strong against
a regime which has been flout-
ing the United States and the
United Nations for so many
years. A number of resolu-
tons passed by an overwhelm-
ing majority in both houses of
Congress represent the true
national sentiments.

Gore Says japanese Favor q British Plant
Because They Won't Have to Wait for 1t

after he got home a few days
ago from a five-week tour of
the Far East, of which he spent
five days in Japan. Thus:
Il wrote particularly to tell
you of an extended conference
I had with Mr.. Shoriki, chair
man of the Japanese Atomic
Energy Commission, and also
with Mr.. NakasOne. chairman
of the Diet Committee on
Atomic Affairs. I found the
japanese authorities on the
verge of entering into a con-
tract for the purchase of a S75-
million reactor from Great
Britain which, in general terms.
would be duplicate of the
British reactor now operating
at Calder Hall. England. I
undertook as best could to
persuade them of the advan-
tages of buying an American
type reactor, particularly one
that would use a refined fuel
element"
The japanese atomic energy
chairman then revealed that
representative of the Westing-
house Co. had been to Japan
in the interest of selling an
American-type reactor, and
also a representative from
Britain who had supervised de-
sign and construction of the
Calder Hall plant. Mr.. Shoriki
had called in his technical staff
in both instances.
ITO make a long story short"
Senator Gore said, the Brit
isher had been far more con-
vincing because he described
a plant that was already pro-
ducing atomic power, while
the American representative
was speaking more theoreti-
cally OF a design and a type
that had not been proven"
Not only that. but a Japa-
nese commission had visited
England and seen the Calder
Hall plant in actual operation.

You could have knocked
Senator Albert Gore, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, over with a
feather, as we say.
There he was. away of
across the Pacific in Japan,
thousands of miles from home.
Japanese atomic officials and
technicians wanted to know
why it was that his bill to
authorize the Government to
build atomic reactors at Acc
installations as models to help
enlist private industry in
peacetime atomic power devei-
opment had failed in Congress
last session. The measure, you
recall. barely got through the
Senate because of Eisenhower
administration opposition, and
then died quietly in the House
when both the administration
and the electric power lobby
got busy against 1T there.
This question about his bill,
which took him by surprise,
came at the end of a con-
ference with japanese atomic
officials in which the Tennessee
Senator had discovered how
American industry lost out in
Japan because of the slow
progress Of development of
atomic power here. In and out
Of season for the last two
years Senator Gore has been
trying to get the Acc to speed
up development Of atomic
power. That was the purpose
of his bill, which he first in
troduced two years ago. He
will try again in the coming
Congress. And he will have
another argument by concrete
example this time out Of his
Japanese experience.

his own words as he put them

DAVID LAWRENCE

The refrain in Kipling's
famous "Recessional" comes
to mind again and again in
these moments when Prime
Minister Nehru of India occu-
pies the world stage-those
memorable words, Lest we
forget. lest we forget"
For, as Nehru's speeches
with their equivocal phrases
and verbal bouquets-are re-
ported throughout the Nation
by means of radio and tele-
vision broadcastS and lengthy
news dispatches. what is omit
ted from the story serves to
emphasize how conveniently
short are the memories of
some visiting statesmen.
Only yesterday, Nehru was
refusing in the United Nations
to condemn Soviet aggression
in Hungary. He excuses 1t
lamely now with the argument
that he had a differently
worded resolution to offer is
a substitute. In the final
showdown. however, India was
the only on-Communist gov
eminent to refuse TO support
the cause of freedom and
justice.
Only yesterday. Nehru was
engaged in a diplomatic con-
spiracy to secure the with
drawal OF United Nations
troops from North Korea and
to leave the U. N. in a humili-
ating position in the Panmun-
JON armistice.
Only yesterday the free
world was condemning Red
China as an aggressor in
Korea. where 1889 American
boys were killed and more than
100000 wounded. along with
hundreds of thousands of the
brave soldiers of our allies.
But Nehru has already for
gotten what happened in
Korea. He is ready to extin-
guish the fires of liberty and
freedom that still burn on
Formosa as a symbol for all
Chinese. He wants to reward
the aggreSSor - Red China
even though no act of atone
ment or repentance has come
as yet from the Peiping gov

standing the provisions of the

must be given up.
But Nehru has come, new

ers captured in Korea.
Nehru has recognized the
Red China government and is
championing it in the United
Nations. Yet. when asked at
the press conference here yes
terday why, even though his
government recognizes the lit
tie republic Of Israel, he has
not sent diplomatic representa-
tives to that country, he said
the situation was too serious
now to do SO in view of recent
events in Egypt. Long before
the Suez crisis, however, Nehru
refused to give full recogni-
tl0n tn Israel
Nehru came here we'll
coached. He handled his press
conference and televiSion
broadcast with the mastery Of
a public relations expert. These
techniques are studied in ad-
vance by foreign visitors OF
prominence because it's all a
form of "brainwashing" that
means getting across some ef-
fective propaganda. Thus, the
usual advice given in advance
is to "Softsoap" Americans by
extolling Jefferson and Lincoln
ana taking ABOUT the Amerl-
can Revolution.
That's what Sukarno of In
donesia did on his trip here
last spring. AS soon as he got
back home he resumed the
policies of a ruthless dictator
ship.
Nehru and Sukarno have
visited the United States after
being importuned to do so by
some meddling Americans and
starry-eyed diplomats of the
school of thought which be-
lieves "giveway" of Ameri-
can money solves everything.
