Malan’s Choice

The Daily Herald’s Capetown correspondent says that Dr Malan’s present plan to fly to London at a time when he is faced with serious problems at home, reflects the importance he attaches to the meeting. He had first offered to send a deputy.

The correspondent adds that the meeting will cover the major questions not fully dealt with at the Commonwealth conference last October, including matters of defence, citizenship, trade, and the future relations of Eire and India. The Times Delhi correspondent says that Mr Nehru, who will be accompanied by the Secretary General of External Affairs, Sir Girja Shankar BajpaL is only expected to remain in London for a few days.
