dated October 19, 1957: Nehru’s appeal

Prime Minister Nehru said in Calcutta on October 17 that the present situation on the Turko-Syrian border showed that people have not adapted themselves to the new world of atomic energy, ballistic weapons and space missiles. Mr. Nehru, who was speaking to reporters at the Dum Dum airport during a brief halt on his way to Delhi from Rangoon, described the recent developments in West Asia as very unrealistic and warned that if people still played about in this way, it might become dangerous. Mr. Nehru attributed a great deal of the present trouble to the cold war when each Big Power was afraid of the other and suspected each other. Mr. Nehru ruled out ‘cold war’ particularly as out of date, because of the present changed conditions.
