Mr Nash’s Eastern Visit

Sir,- .u evaluate the importance of Mr Nash’s forthcoming trip it might be well to heed Mrs Menon’s recent broadcast. She said: “The test of civilised living is the capacity to live with differences. The very stability of democracy is rooted in its impermanence; its unity in differences; its success in its failure to achieve uniformity. It conforms with India’s centuries of traditions of tolerance and co-existence with other peoples and other ways of thinking. The United Nations attempt to achieve peace by agreement can be more effectively achieved by bringing in the entire human family within the orbit or international organisation. The exclusion of vast groups of people, especially organised independent countries like China, is unrealistic and calculated to make the cold war colder than it should be. The only way to make the United Nations an effective force for peace is to educate its members to accept the ways of peace.”— Yours, etc., INDIVIDUALIST. . February 14, 1958. ft
