This Day That Age
Prime Minister Nehru declared in Saigon on October 31, on his way home from China, that co-existence with Communism is not only possible but the "only course to adopt." Addressing a press conference after an overnight halt in Saigon, he said he believed "that the people of China are anxious to have peace and avoid war." The Chinese people and Government had their minds filled with the present five-year plan and then three or four more five-year plans afterwards. "They are thinking of economic rehabilitation. Anything that comes in the way of that they want to avoid. The only alternative to peaceful co-existence means an attempt to crush an ideology or structure of Government that one does not like which means war on a world scale." The Prime Minister said he had reached no agreements with China except on matters concerning the two countries. The Chinese had welcomed his proposal that an Indian airline should fly to a Chinese airport to link up with Chinese internal airlines. No formal agreements had been reached, though Mr. Nehru thought the airport would probably be Canton and this could be used on Indian lines to Japan. The Chinese would be given reciprocal facilities in India. The Chinese had also welcomed his proposal for a telephone link between India and China though again no formal agreement had been reached. Mr. Nehru emphatically denied reports that the Chinese had asked India to join a military alliance directed against the countries of the South-East Asia Pact. "They would not have suggested it, knowing what our policy is," he added.
