THIRD WORLD WAR
REVOLT OF ASIATICS PANDIT NEHRU’S FORECAST NEW DELHI. Jan. 1. Addressing ' the All-India States People's Organisation Conference, Pandit Nehru forecast a revolt by millions of Asiatics, from which a third world war would develop. He said Britain was fighting a losing battle. The sources of old Imperial strength were drying up. Recent developments suggested that America was underwriting the Empire, but the Asiatic countries would not submit to any domination. “There will be a continuing revolt of millions, which even atom bombs will not suppress,” he said, “and from the revolt will develop that terrible thing, world war. There is a perilous resemblance between the war of British intervention in Indonesia and the other war of intervention which Italy and Germany waged in Spain, and was the prelude to World War II.”
