NEW APPROACH BY INDIA
( R«c- 8 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 16. ine Indian Government had again approached the Chinese Communist Government in an effort to secure a peaceful settlement of the Korean war a high Indian official said to-day. The Indian Government, after learning that Mr Truman had dismissed General MacArthur, had instructed its Ambassador in Peiping to ask the Chinese Communist regime for a new statement of Communist China’s attitude towards the Korean war. He said that the Indian Government expected some sort of reply from the Chinese Government and until then practical steps towards securing a cease fire, such as those contemplated by the Arab and Asian group in the United Nations would have to be left in abeyance.
Asked if India attached any significance to the latest North Korean message to the United Nations, the official said that India in the past had directed all its approaches to Peiping and it would prefer to know what Communist China thought of the pre* ent prospects for peace talks. j
