The "Peacemaker"

l'l'llllE Minister Nehru calls hlIl1' . ”peat-eniakcr" whose mission -

But when Soviet riuiks started slaughtering helpless llungarians he could not bring himself to condemn " the brutality. Later, after 33,fltltl Hungarians had been killed. he did "deplore" the action, but he did it in such a mild way that it was prac- tically indistinguishable from tacit support. And when the resolution formally condemning the Soviet Union came up in the General As- sembly. he did not even take the trouble to vote on it. By "abstain- lng" he as good as told the Russians that what they were doing was legitimate enough, even it slightly irregular.

From first to last Mr. Nehru has not had a kind word or even an understanding word to say about Britain. Yet, he says India will stay in the Commonwealth; for, as he put it, ”the need is for more unity, not less." As if India's membership in the Commonwealth contributed anything to its harmony! He wants all the peoples of the world to enjoy the right of self-determination. Yet, he will not consent to a plebiscite in Kashmir, the territory claimed by both India and Pakistan. On that question he says ”there'I no need of a plebiscite, Kashmir belongs to In- dia." although the people of Kash- mir have expressed no such opinion, and there is good evidence for be- lieving that the majority of them would prefer to throw in their lot with the Pakistanis. lie wants I Fnited Nations police force estab- lished in all areas where the terri- torial disputes might possibly lead to war. Yet, the other day when the Government of Pakistan suggested that a force be sent to Kashmir pending a permanent settlement, he turned down the proposal, again on the ground that Kashmir belongs to India. He won't even consent to the c0ntrover.sy's being discussed in the UN. He says it is "not the U..V.'s biisiness." a phrase he probably hoi- rowed from the puppet Government of llungary.

Yes, a strange man is this Mr. Nchiii, who calls himself a ”peace- rll.'iker" and is now peddling his w arcs in lV.'ishington. where but re- cently the cold shoulder was turned to a proposed visit by the Prime Iilinistcr of Great Britain!

A Cancelled Invitation

"On November 8, two days after

the difficult British-French decision 5? how to the cease-fire demands of e l'iiiled Nations, it is reported on good authority that Sir Anthony Eden phoned Plcsident Eisenhower, urging a conference in Washington as soon as possible. The purpose was to demonstrate allied solidarity and to begin to repair the international itrcckage occasioned by the Egyptian invasion. The President reportedly agreed that Sir Anthony should come right over. and bring French Premier Guy Mollet. too. But within

I matter of hours there was a second hone call. and President Eisenhower tracted the invitation. The British ' vernment was deeply hurt and

lexed.”

, Thus writes the chief Washing- - correspondent of the Christian - i - Rorltor, one of the but in- , "pull! in the (hltd Irma -- tbs -- III: I new. twist

ministration. The Monitor water. who says the report is ,”now rather thoroughly verified," goes on to say that the Washington point of view was that such a sudden resumption of intimate Anglo-French-American relations would ”rouse grave sus- picion among the Arab-Asian bloc" and damage the US. reputation for ”impai-tiality." The counter- argu- ment niade, he adds. is that the pro- posed conference. demonstrating al- lied solidarity in the face of Soviet threats and Arab intrigue. would have kept the British and Fench in a strong position even while with- draw ing their troops from Suez. And that instead, the coolness of relatiohs and virtual cold-shouldering of its allies by Washington paved the way for the sharp deterioration of the British-Frcncli flllilll('i&ll position.

Stemming from this piissyfootiiig at Xiashington is the lll(".i'tl.s'illllP dc- lny in clearing the Suez canal due to Nasscr's refusal to allow British or French natiorizils to participate. Even the overly patient New York Times has become alarmed at what it editorially calls "this prcpustei-oils situation." It notes that siiiwc the Novcnihei"6 cease-firc l'.i-lush and l'il1'I1('h have been alone in do- ing any clearance work. in the much longer strctcly of the w.itt-i-way un- dcr l-Igyptian contiol iioiluug has been done.

"it is the duty of the Unitcd States which bears a special responsibility for the present situa- tion to take the lead." Nothing could be more true.

"that you have bccn calling for the restoration of the rule of law in Canada. Well, you're getting the rule of law. Don't ask me or the police force of this city to break the law for you. Oh- serve the law yourselves."

One is inclined to suggest that no wiser words than these were spoken at last. week's convention. And. al- though they may have seemed a bit harsh at the time. one hopes that the friendly counsel that was hidden beneath the blunt language will be taken to heart by all good Conser- vatives from coast to coast; yes. and by all good Liberals, too. There ls no earthly reason why political delegates should expect favours from the police any more than any other group of visitors. The law's the liiw; and it is of little use to plead for its observance in Parliament if it he considered right and proper to wink at it on R street or l'llL'llu';ly,

Fortunate is the city whose chicf magistrate insists on the laivls strict ohscrvnncc without fear or fmoui': and happy is the political contention that can accept with good grace the admonition to rcspccl it fundamental civic duty.

We were back with an- other young man within the hour and for ten minutes we chatted with him while he blocked out an interview.

We cannot presume to dictate and other people's soldiers must do as they choose; but we may hope that no exaggerated feeling for the mor- yal dignity of man will abolish ”Slr' in this country whether in mili- tary or civilian society. All of us cannot aspire to its use as in Sir Osberl Sitwell's words ”the sac- rificial monosyllable that is the correct reply to a superionofficer in the Brigade of Guards"; but in other spheres there is scarcely a word that can express so much and so variously.
