This Day That Age
Initiating the debate on foreign affairs in the Lok Sabha on September 29, Prime Minister Nehru put forward a powerful plea for direct East-West talks to ease world tension and for the admission of Communist China to the U.N. If the West felt that the Communists meant to create mischief, then the best thing would be to talk straight to them. It would, therefore, be advantageous if Communist China was accorded her rightful place in the U.N. If China was present, face to face with other countries in the U.N., it would be easy to find out her real intentions and, at the same time, China would be assuming certain responsibilities as a member of the world organisation. Making a direct reference to the serious problem posed by the presence of large Chinese population in several countries in South-East Asia, he said it was easy to talk of Malayan independence, but the Malays themselves were apprehensive of the Chinese community, which was in a majority. The overseas Chinese held commanding positions in the economic sphere and this had frightened many countries in this region. Mr. Nehru welcomed the recent remarks of Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai asking the Chinese overseas to choose their nationality, either to remain Chinese nationals and refrain from interfering in the affairs of the countries where they lived or to become nationals of their adopted countries. Mr. Nehru thought that the attitude of the Chinese leaders would help to allay the apprehensions of many South Asian countries.
