dated June 16, 1955: Krishna Menon meets Ike

Mr. V.K. Krishna Menon, India's peace envoy, had a half-hour meeting with the U.S. President, Mr. Dwight Eisenhower, and the Secretary of State, Mr. John Foster Dulles, in Washington on June 14. Mr. Menon, who was accompanied by the Indian Ambassador, Mr. G.L. Mehta, said after the meeting that he gave the President "general impressions of what goes on in the world." He wound up his day-long top-level talks on June 14 with an 80-minute conversation with Mr. Dulles. Mr. Menon told reporters that he and Mr. Dulles conferred on the situation in the Formosa area, and "the difficulties which now exist between the United States and China." When reporters asked him for details of the talks, he replied, "You want the prisoners back. Don't you? So, let us just go easy." He asked the reporters to treat the matter with a degree of restraint, pointing out that it was still in the discussion stage. "In the Orient, everything that is printed is taken as gospel truth," he pointed out.
