Neutral Nehru Nervous
About the Reds Himself
Despite Indian Prims Min.
Ister Jawaharlal Nehru's de
termined neutrality between
East and West, there are many
signs that he is nervous about
the Reds himself, and has rea
son to be.
in lact there is reason to
suspect that his frequent
"preachings" to the West
spring primarily from his fear
of Red intentions toward In
dia, whose 409 million popu
lation would be a great prize
for either East or West.
And that finally, much as
he fears Western colonialism,
he fears Communist imperial
ism more.
Pressure on Nehru
Communist pressure on
Nehru comes both from with
in and without.
One fairly clear indication
of Communist intent came in
Red Chinese maps obtained
by the Indian government
through Tibetan traders. I
These maps claimed for
China vast areas both of In
dia and Burma.
Inquiries brought only the
bland reply that the maps
were "unofficial."
Frequent reports of clashes
between Indian and Red Chi-j
nese troops come from the
poorly defined northern fron
tier areas, which just as fre
quently are officially denied.
The reports have increased
In volume since 1950 when
the Reds moved into Tibet
with its 1300-mile common
border with India,
Other Rumors
Also disquieting have been
reports that in western Tibet
Russian air bases are being
huilt only about 300 miles
from the Indian capital of
New Delhi, and that the high
Himalayaas no longer offer
any assurance against inva
sion.
miernaiiy, me pressure on
Nehru comes from India's
own Communist party.
comparca to wenrus own
Indian National Congress
Party, Indian Communists
still are weak numerically.
