INDIA—AND SOUTH AFRICA
Sir,-Having lost count of the many. times I have read and tried to make sense of your Editorial of September 13 on India I become more amazed that you should couple in a short article the names of two such men as Smuts and Nehru. One is a Dutch soldier who, upon defeat, switched over to the winning side, and developed and’ exploited a rich country, together with its native population, for the benefit of Dutch and other capitalistic peoples. I wonder, can that be statesmanship. The other is an Indian who has spent many many years of his life in punishment and humiliation for the benefit of his own people, in his own country. You say his work has just begun. That is not so. His work in the past has been underground, but nevertheless it has been real work. Now he can work in the open with the dignitv that he deserves.
