The crudity with which
Messre. Khrushchev and Bul
ganin turned their Indian good
will tour into an anti-Western
campaign is reported to have
embarrassed prime minister
Nehru and other Indian offic
ials.
They laid out the red Carpet
for it'he visitors from Moscow,
only to see them walk all over
;:he lawn anyway.
India is trying hard to estab
lish her neutral position in the
world. It’s a neutrality with
leftist leaninlgs and sympathy
from Russia because Russia,
too, professes to be ajgainst col
onialism. But India constantly
offers herself as a mediator of
disputes.
To have her premises used as
the base attack by invective vio
lates her position as a friend to
all.
Nehru, who is so much “Mr.
India” that his actions usually
receive only praise, has been
criticized by part of the Indian
press for gettinlg the country
into such a position, and for his
extreme efforts to glorify the
Russian visit.
His mobilization of vast
children’s demonstrations has
been questioned as producing
indoctrination during an im
pressionable period which may
bode ill Ifor the country later.
For one of the strange factors
in the Indian position is the
firm stand taken by the govern
ment against domes.ic commun
ists while playing fotsie with
them in the international field
It’s as thou|gh Nehru is will
• in|g to (take chances abroad, for
the sake of embarassinlg the
West, with something he will
not put up with at home.
There is evidence, however,
that k'he Khruslhehev-Bulganin’
visit has worked in reverse both
for them and for Nehru. Right
at this moment relations with |
the Indian government, which:
is firmly entrenched, would
seem to /be more important to
Moscow than relations with the \
Indian people.
But the visitors seem to have
made more progress with the
people, while causing officials
to look a great deal more close
ly at Russian motives. Nehru
would like to balance between
Russia and the West withoht
getting his people involved.
The. Russians have moved on
into Burma with their anti- j
Western line, and may find it!
unprofitable there, r.oo.
My mother used to say that
people who kept their mouths
open all the time ran the risk
of letting others find out too
much about what was on their
minds.
