cilities makes the charges seem even
more significant.
Apart from their expressed indig-
nation about Soviet treatment of Yugo-
slavia the two papers struck a broader
common note. MoScow's behavior, the
HinduStan Times said, sis warning
that Soviet aid carries political
strings" What has happened to Yugo-
slavia could happen to "other countries
similarly placed" To the Express, the
incident "haS served the purpose of ex-
posing Soviet intentions thoroughly. 1t
has proved that Moscow demands COM
plete subservience.
1T is unlikely that Indian indigna-
ton over Yugoslavia's troubles would
by itself, prompt major shift In New
Delhi's foreign policies. At the same
time, there is clear indication that New
Delhi finally is recognizing the sinister
motivations behind MoScow's practice Of
offering, and qualifying, economic aid.
If this lesson is being learned in the
Indian capital, it may circulate with
considerable speed to others that have
been intrigued by Moscow's generosity"
