INDIA AGAINST U.N. PLAN TO RESIST AGGRESSION
Will Not Place Troops Under Anybody's Control But Its Own
NEW DELHI, Oct. 16 (Reed. 10.40 p.m.)—United Nations forces designed to resist aggression on terms of the present seven-Power resolution would “more likely lead to world war than discourage it,” the Prime Minister, Mr. Nehru, told a press conference today.
Such forces would he “likely to produce an atmosphere and psychology of fear,” he added. India would object to placing part of its army under any control but its own. Refusal to give Communist China a seat on the United Nations was re-1 sponsible for a great deal of the pre-1 sent trouble in Asia. China had a coalition government with a policy far removed from Communist policy. The West was grateful for India’s'
role in serving as a ‘■’window” on China as the West received information it would not otherwise obtain. Asked whether India was prepared to help the United Nations resist aggression by armed force, Mr. Nehru replied “absolutely and to the best of its ability and capacity, but according to its own thought and views on the subject.” He said the Indian Government was worried about reports of a Chinese invasion of Tibet and made inquiries on both sides, but both replied that nothing had happened.
