The Swatantra and Praja
group in the Congress Party
which thinks like them, now
realize that their victory ,over
Mr.. Menon and what he stands
for is not conclusive. Prime
Minister Nehru clearly thinks
OF the Menon resignation as
something forced on him tenn
porarily by the attacks accus-
ing his chief adviser of respon-
Sibility for India's military and
psychological unreadineSS for
the Chinese invasion.
Mr.. Nehru acquitted Mr..
Menon of these charges in the
exchange of letters between
them on Mr.. Menon's resigna-
ton. The Prime Minister
stressed Menon's contribution
to India's defense build-up, his
patriotism and craftsmanship.
He expressed a hope for Mr..
Menon's return to high coun-
ellis.
Mr.. Nehru also told Parlia-
ment emphatically that he was
not abandoning non-alignment.
He refrained from condemning
the Soviet Union for throwing
its support to China and thus
undermining the foundations of
IEdia's neutralism.
Nehru'S Political Dunkirk
This Soviet act of bad faith
has been a political Dunkirk to
Mr.. Nehru, and a much bigger
blow than the military Dun
kirk he had been warning the
nation to prepare for. The Rus
slams had led Mr.. Nehru to be-
lieve that they stood with him
on the dispute with China
a dispute which went far be-
yond a definition of borders
and centered on the political
domination of Asia, Mr.. Nehru
now comedies.
The RussialA fearing that
the rise of a pm rful, unchal-
lenged China wtDd endanger
their own position in Asia, en-
couraged India as a rival by Of
fering her economic and politi-
cal support. Mr.. Nehru's tough
line with Peking on the border
question reflected his assump-
ton of Moscow's backing and
Moscow's ability to hold the
Chinese back from an armed
showdown.
But even those Indians who
still favor non-alignment ask
how the Russians, having let
Mr.. Nehru down so cruelty, can
now restore any confidence in
their professions of friendship.
India, they say, will have to
remain ever watchful that the
Russians do not again make a
catspaw of her in their contest
with the Chinese

swelling population will produce
political pressures in some di-
rection. Did Russia want to di-
rect it outside the Red sphere,
and away from an intra bloc
clash?
Not All for Alignment
But 1t must not be assumed
that the failure of non-align-
ment has led all sectors of
Indian opinion to alignment.
Indeed. even United States Am
bassador Galbraith here has in
dicated the United States is
not seeking midas adoption of
an aligned position in world
politics.

forces with a nationally needed
voice, Jaya Prakash Narayan,

Pakistan Irritated
Pakistan has showed increas-

The Pakistanis are worried

India in the long-festering

In the eyes of Pakistanis, the
India China undeclared war is

Reports reaching diplomatic
quarters here from Prague in
dictate that the Czechoslovak-
ian government is planning to
cancel its special air link with
Cuba.
The flights between Havana
and Prague are the only direct
air links between Fidel Cas-
tro's regime and the Soviet
bloc in Europe. Frequent jet
service connects Prague and
Moscow.
At the moment, two turbo-je jet
flights a week shuttle between
Prague and Havana - one by
the Czechoslovak State Air
lines and one by Guiana, the
Cuban airlines. There is no in
dication whether Guiana Air
lines is planning to cancel its
flights also.
The Czechs have gone to
some trouble and expense to
establish the air connection
with Cuba. They had to pur-
chase four motor Ilyushir
turbo-prop airliners from the
Soviet Union to make the trans
Atlantic run.
Landing Rights Sought
Before the missiles crisis last
month, the Soviet government
is known to have approached
several African countries for
landing rights for an air link
they were planning with Cuba.
Since the crisis, no more has
been heard of this plan, al
though sources in the Soviet
Embassy here maintain it is
still in the works.
After the Soviet Union, the
Czechs have given the most
trade and aid from the Com
munist bloc to Cuba.
Flights to and from Havana
have gone by way of Shannon
Airport in Ireland and Gan
der Airport in Newfoundland,
Canada. Since President Ken
nedy revealed the presence of
offensive Soviet missiles in
Cuba on October %, the Ca
nadians have been systemat-
ically searching Cuban and

tional alignment" that went
about in its garb.
1T was this that produced
the myopia and the double
standards that prevented a
timely appraisal of Hungary,
that made us acQuiesce in the
rape of Tibet, that went so far
as to inhibit us twice in the
United Nations Assembly from
taking a positive stand even on
such a question of fact as that
of violation of human rights
and cultural genocide in Tibet
by the Chinese Communists"
Mr.. Narayan and many other
Irdian political thinkers believe
that instead of pursuing the
will = of the wisp of Rus
sian friendship India should
mend her fences with her nom
aligned neighbors, who have
been alienated by her clumsy,
patronizing diplomacy, also that
India should come to terms
with Pakistan.
They recall that three years
ago President Ayub Khan Of
fered Mr.. Nehru a joint de-
Tense pact against invasion of
the Indian peninsula. and that
he had in mind aggression by
Communist China. Mr.. Nehru
rejected the offer on the
ground that PakiStan's political
system differed from midas.
Border Farley in Picking
Pakistani diplomats today are
negotiating in Peking over the
northern borders of Gilgit and
Hunza, two regions of the
former state of Kashmir that
are under Pakistani control.
The Pakistani Government up
holds the Peking charge that
China is the victim of Indian
aggression, protests against the
supply of Western arms to In
dia and blocks the passage of
transferring aircraft over PAX
istan.
Most observers expect Mr..
Nehru to persist in his efforts
to WOO Moscow. He has gone as
far as he can to regain Soviet
support without openly solicit
ing it. His assertions in Parlia-
ment, that the II Soviet jet
fighters promised to India will
be delivered, are taken here as
probings as to whether or not
the political bridge between
New Delhi and Moscow can be
rebuilt.
Mr.. Nehru's success in re-
coupling his old position seems,
however, to depend on factors
beyond his control, the chief
of them being the old-guard
StalinistS in the Soviet Com
munist Party.
Proponents of the theory
that Moscow's pro-Peking pos
ture indicates the influence of
these Stalinists now assert that
there are signs that Mr.. Khru-
shchev is fighting back. Pravda,
they claim, has retreated from
its total commitment to Pc
king.
They also point out that
President Brezhnev has told
India's new ambassador to Mos
COW, T. N. Raul, that the ere
lations between India and the
Soviet Union are a good ex-
ample of the successful applica-
ton of the principles of peace
full coexistence," and he hopes
that the two nations will con-
tinue successfully to cooperate
for the sake of enduring peace
on earth. :"
Mr.. Khrushchev seems de-
termined to keep India from
going into the Western camp,
but the Chinese seem equally
intent on bringing this about,
calculating that India would
thus be compromised in nom
aligned eyes and they would be
left without a rival in Asia.

From This Angle
Goa, Damao. and Diu
BY Les KimbIe

ture. the fact remains that Goa Damao, and
Diu were tiny foreign settlements on the main
land mass of another sovereign nation.
The United Nations Charter requires all
colonial powers to make annual reports on
the social economic, and educational progress
in nonsef-governing colonies. The Portu-
euese took steps that circumvented this pro.
vision before joining the UN in 1855 by revis
ing the Portuguese Constitution to define her
colonies as overseas provinces" of Portugal
This bit of legal maneuvering coupled with
Portugals furnished reputation as a colonial
administrator in places like African Angola
seems to place Portugal in a weak position
in the eyes of the newly independent nations
1t might be added that Portugal now has the
largest colonial empire in the Western world
Secretary of State Dulles in 1855 gave ap.
parent support to the Portuguese claim in a
joint statement with Portugals Foreign Min
lister by referring to Portuguese provinces
in the Far East" This year Portuguese feel
ings were badly hurt when the United States
voted with the AfricanAsan block for an in
vestigation of the territory of Angola. The
need for such an investigation is clearly indi.
Gated by reports like those in an article en-
titled 1.-THE Kingdom of Silence" by an anony-
issue of Harpers Magazine.
India waited IA years for some action or
sign from the West or the United Nations.
The only official action taken during this
time was that of Portugal in 1855 which made
overseas territories Portuguese provinces"
This does not excuse midas resort to armed
force, but it does explain it. India took pos
session of Goa by the same means that Por.
tugal did 451 years ago when Admiral Don
Alfonso de Albuquerque defeated the mill
tary forces of the Moslem King of Biiapur
When nation has the power it Is easy to
forget ones previous announcement of mill.
tary force and ones heritage of non-violence.
There is one clear lesson for the world
in this action by India. Until the United Ma
tons or some other international organization
has the power to bring such matters to dis
cussion and negotiation, the more powerful
nations of the world may at any time continue
to give credence to the old maxim, might
makes right" 1t is noteworthy that Red
ChinaS encroachment on India to the north
has not yet been made right by India's might,
primarily because India's might does not
equal Red Chinas.
One other strange fact is highlighted by
this incident. Despite the fact that Portugal
has been Western nation since 1900, the
system of free government than is Portugals,
thanks to the policies and political philoso.
phies of British governments that have pro.
Vided the political bases for free nations
around the world.

A Word Of Proise

In the belief that we should
be as ready to praise our pub
lie officials for correcting an
error as we are to blame them
for the error, l should like to
commend the State Roads
Commission and Mr.. George
Lewis, jr., Chief of its Bureau
of Traffic, for removing the
stop sign from the North
bound Shady Grove exit from
Interstate 20, where the exit
road intersects with Fields
I'd.
From a map, this might
have looked like a logical
place for a stop sign, but a
site inspection, visibility and
traffic conditions all indicated
that the sign was useless as a
safety measure and did moth.
ing but interfere with the flow
of practically all of the traffic
at this point. When this was
called to the Commissions at.
tention, the sign was removed,
a yield sign was placed on
Fields I'd, and now traffic
headed for Gaithersburg and
Washington Grove no longer
has to make a useless stop.

Portuguese settlers took possession of
ports on the west coast of India during the
early 1500s, and were followed by the French,
Dutch, and English traders The British East
India Company was organized in 1900 and by
1857 was the leading power in India. In retail
alton for the slaughter of non-combatants by
Indian rebels the armed forces of the British
East India Company in 1857 suppressed the
rebels with some cruelty. Shocked by this
cruelty, the people of England demanded that
the government of India be the responsibility
OF the BRUSH Government.
In the following years the British Gov
eminent built railroads, telegraph and tele
phone systems, repaired and added to the
Indian irrigation systems, organized famine
relief system and brought more and more
Indian nationals into government service. The
Indian National Congress was organized in
1885 and by 1909 serious consideration was
being given to eventual self-government for
the Indian people. In July 1947 the Indian
Independence Act was passed by the British
Parliament and on August Is, 1947 the British
Indian Empire became the nations of Pakistan

HyPerboIe

The other night the president of the Montgom-
cry County Citizens Planning Association claimed that
public confidence in the decisions of the Park and
Planning Commission and the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission is slipping. The cause of this
sad situation he said is the financial interests" of
some members of the two agencies.
We fear the associations president is using n.y.
perbole.
1t is possible that the presidents regard for the
two bcounty agencies is less than it should be- and
that the entire membership of the planning associa-
ton doesn't think much of the two commissions.
This is understandable. After ALL you can't please
every one, as the saying goes.
But certainly the speaker could not have been
serious in discussing public confidence though he
represented all 100000 residents of Montgomery
County.
Only month or two ago, the citizens planning
association had turnout of about rs persons at its
annual meeting. We doubt that this small number is
representative of the public.
AS for the possibility of financial interests" in
terfering with the duties of commission members we
wonder whether the associations president is suggest
ing that only paupers should be appointed to public
agencies the theory that true obectvty in public
affairs depends the state of the office-holder's
bankroll
If this is true then the people of New York are in
bad shape with Millionaire running their affairs
We hesitate to point out in this connection that
our President is also of substantial means.
To return to the local scene we might mention for
the benefit of the citizens planning association that the
legislation covering both commissions includes clear
and unequvocal conflict of interest provision We are
sure both agencies will be happy to furnish the text
of the provision to the planning association.

It is unfortunate that Montgomery County,
known throughout the nation as an enlightened and
progressive community, should have to legislate
against discrimination in public places. 1t is even
more unfortunate that in doing so, the County Council
exempted bars and taverns from the so-caled equal
services law.
Businessmen in one of the largest cities on Mary
lands Eastern Shore = Salisbury = have agreed to
anyone entering their establishments regardless
of color The agreement was voluntary. There was
no threat of official city action if the merchants failed
to act.
But here in Montgomery County, businessmen
did not get together to agree on united policy to
stop discrimination
The question now arises - why should bars and
taverns be permitted to continue to discriminate while
other businesses are ordered by law not to? Council
man William F. Hickey claims this is necessary be-
cause they the most likely of disturbances
The implication, therefore appears to be that if you
drink beer wine in restaurant you are less likely
to be offended by the presence of Negro than you
drink in bar or tavern.
We find this more than a bit far-fetched. Our
observations strictly teetotaer in search of the
facts has been that people and do get just as OBJ
noxious in restaurants in bars, after they have
drunk oveTmuch.
Councilman Stanley Frosh has pointed out that
the exemption is contrary to the stated public pur
pose of the ordinance" We agree with him.
If the Council is sincere in its desire to eliminate
discrimination in places of public accommodation, it
should make the ordinance apply to all places of
business.
