dated July 15, 1955: Low on India's efforts

The famous British cartoonist, David Low, epitomised India's energetic peace-making moves in a telling cartoon published on July 13 by the Manchester Guardian. The cartoon shows a volcanic landscape with the Big Four Conference table perched on the highest peak ready for next week's "summit" talks at Geneva. Around it, lesser peaks were headed: "Indo-China," "Formosa" and "East-West Europe." Into these lively craters, Prime Minister Nehru and Mr. Krishna Menon were shown ramming corks to keep the explosive contents under control. Mr. Menon was shown securing the "Formosa" cork with the binding of a rope while Mr. Nehru pressed down the "East-West Europe" stopper with both hands. Low captioned his cartoon: "The make-ready squad."
