This Day That Age
"India's services are always available to help decrease international tension. But I do not go around offering them. To do so would be undiplomatic. We help in an unobtrusive way wherever we can," declared Prime Minister Nehru, addressing a press conference at the Federal Chancellery in Vienna on June 27. A reporter had asked him if he had offered his good offices to the Soviet Government during his recent visit to the Soviet Union. Referring to the declaration issued after Mr. Nehru's talks with the Soviet leaders, that the Geneva agreement on the Indo-China ceasefire was in danger, a questioner asked, "What are the dangers in question?" Mr. Nehru replied: "India as Chairman of the International Commission (whose other members are Canada and Poland) is responsible for the work of the Commission and for the implementation of the Geneva agreement. I pay my tribute to the spirit of cooperation in the Commission. But difficulties have arisen in certain respects. The Geneva agreement was based on two fundamental principles - that the three States of Indo-China (Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia) must not be aligned with any major military groupings or, in other words, must adhere to a policy of neutrality, and that there should be fair and impartial elections. Talks leading to free elections in Viet Nam were fixed to start by July 20 between representatives of North and South Viet Nam, but so far nothing has yet been done to set these talks in motion. If no steps are taken, the whole Geneva agreement is in danger of crashing."
