Joining the Family
The scorn heaped on India's Prime Minister Nehru for his invasion of Goa was almost unanimous in the world's press. Samples :
-- London Daily Mirror: "He has shocked his friends and sadly diminished his own status in the world." -- Madrid's Hoja de Lunes: "A crime."
> Paris' Combat: "Neutralism has committed suicide."
-- Milan's Corriere della Sera: "Nehru is
two-faced: warlike when facing the weak,
submissive and pacifist when facing the
strong."
-- Chicago Tribune: "Champion political
hypocrite of the year."
> Detroit News: "The big Brahmin with all the morals has now become Big Brother with all the tanks and planes. He has taken a leaf out of Mein Kampf."
> New York Times: "Indefensible."
-- San Francisco Chronicle: "There comes a time when every nation must sink below principle. But let every one relax a little. India has just joined the family of nations."
