AUSTRALIA’S PLAN
Casey Flies To, India (lee. 11.55 p.m.) NEW DELHI, June 10. The Australian Minister of External Affairs (Mr R. G. Casey) arrived in India today to discuss a new IndoChina settlement plan with the Indian Prime Minister (Mr Nehru) before presenting it to the Geneva conference. He will also have talks with the British delegate (Mr Eden) and the United States delegate (General Bedell Smith) before proposing the plan. On his arrival in Calcutta Mr Casey Kid that India and her Prime Minister must play an important part in any matter affecting Asia. Mr Casey will meet Mr Nehru this afternoon and stay overnight as a State guest before taking off tomorrow for Geneva.
He told reporters at the airport that Australia had not so much a “plan” to solve the Indo-China problem as an “attitude of mind,” and added that
‘ the only thing worth thinking about these days is South-east Asia.” "I am hopeful of a negotiated settlement at Geneva, and any negotiated settlement has to be in line with free Asian thinking. “In this Mr Nehru has a large part to rlay.”
Mr Casey said he thought Australia’s attitude was not much out of line with what India is thinking.
