NO PRESSURE PUT ON INDIA, SAYS STATE DEPARTMENT
Washington, July 6.
The State Department spokesman, Lincoln White, today denied that the Department had brought pressure to bear on India to force Indian sup- port of the United Nations” resolution on Korda. Mr. White issued the following statement: "India took action on her own initiative. Interpretations of stories in the American Press were that the action of India with respect to the Security Council resolution of June 27 resulted from United States representation. Those interpre-
tations are absolutely not correct.
"The_Government of India, in its statement of June 29 accepting the Security Council resolution of June 27, stated that if viewed with grava concorn developments in Korea involving not only civil war but a threat to world peace. "The Indian representative į on the Security Counell, who was president of the Council at that time, supported the Council's resolution of Jung 25, which duclared the North Korean action was aggression and which called for a cease fire.
"The Indian decision to accept the second Security Council re- solution, that is, the one of Jung 27, which was corollary of the Brst, that of June 23, was inher- ent in Indian foreign policy and its well-known attitude toward resorting to aggression to settle International disputes, as mado repentedly clear by the Govern- nent of India since its Indopon dence.
"India has been consistently a staunch supporter of the United nations. In the light of India's well-known polletes and its re- cord as a member of the United Nations, the Volted States Gov- erunient, considered that the facts of the Korean situation would Speak for themselves and that no representations
from outside sources were required to convince the government of India of the rightness of the decision It took. "Ambassador Henderson's nc- tivilica were strictly limited to the normal ones of consultations with. Indian officials in order that the Government of India might be currently informed of our views and the fact of develop- ment in the situation and in order that the State Department might be fully aware of Indian opinion,"
