Mrs Pandit’s View Of Peace Prospects
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) GLASGOW, August 27. India’s High Commissioner in London, Mrs Pandit, said in Glasgow today that there could be no permanent peace until there was more equality m the world. Mrs Pandit, speaking at a reception given in her honour by the Scottish National Council of the United Nations Association, said if the world was going to have under-privileged nations they would turn to means which would give them a quicker remedy for their position. “It is all very well for a country like England to talk about democracy, because you are the mother of democracy, but try to tell a nation only seven years old what democracy is unless a man has somethin* in his stomach and a reasonable home for his family,” she said. “Once you give him that, then you can talk about a system of government. “After the two world wars people everywhere have learned that they don’t want to be patronised and they don’t want charity. “They want' the ability to raise themselves.” she said.
