Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated September 20, 1958: International problems

Mr. G.L. Mehta, former Indian Ambassador to the United States, writing in the September issue of the magazine Foreign Affairs, published on September 18, has criticised the United States for failing to see that all the world’s ills cannot be traced to Communism and that, whether or not this is the case, the United States alone cannot set things right. He says : “I cannot help feeling that there is too much of a tendency in the United States to analyse and interpret international friction in terms of cold war and a readiness to trace nearly all conflicts to Communism. Many of the troubles and disputes in the world are not due to Soviet Russia – whether it be Algeria, or Cyprus, Kashmir or Goa or West Irian, apartheid in South Africa, or revolutions in Latin America.”
