Interpreting News

A. P. News Analyst
Gaganvibari Dullushae Meh
ta, India’s ambassador to Wa
shington, looks like a success
ful middle aged) business man
who watches this weight. That’s
what 'he i>s.
His color is a littlle deeper
than that of an avid sunibather.
His movements, mentally and
physically, are quick. One of
his (principal assignments is to
negotiate with American busi
ness men who might be persu
aded to invest in India’s grow
ing industrial expansion. He
has run into much resistance
'because of socialiastiO mani
festations in the Indian gov
ernment, and because Ameri
ca’s growing economy largely
absorbs such investment capi
tal as is available. He has had
a few successes with some of
the largest corporations.
One of the most telling com
miunist propaganda points in
Asia is based on racism. The
handling, or failure to handle,
the negro problem in the Uni
ted 'States is one of the first
things mentioned when you
ask an Asiatic why they can
not more thoroughly under
stand the difference between
the comlrnunist and democratic
propaganda aplproadhes.
This stems not only from a
constant reiteration of the
statement that the United Sta
tes toieTateS a situation in
which some of its citizens are
defined as second or third class
It is also a result of the man
ners of white Colonialists in
Asia over many years.
The Other day Mehta stopped
at Houston’s airport for lunch.
The dining room1 supervisor
asked him to move to a small
private dininlg room. He thou
ght he was getting special at
tention. The supervisor said
that, too, but only after a per
iod of “no comment.” A Hous
ton resident remembered the
Texas law requiring racial seg
regration in restaurants. He
thought Mehta was mistaken
for a negro. He told a newspa
per.
Mehta received an apology
from the state department and
the ihaiybr of Houston. The
mayor said Houston didn’t dis
criminate against anybody, pre
suimably shifting all the blame
to the state of Texas. Mehta
said he would have protested
hiad he realized the incident
was one of discrimination, but
that the wlay things had work
ed out, he was goirtg to drop it,
But the incident has had its
impact. You can bet the com
munists won’t drop it.
