the
problem of Goa's exist ence is that it is a Portu- guese possession. And as the world is aware, it is difficult always to justify Portugal's manner when it comes to negotiating dia- putes arising from her colonial possessions. How- ever, there are grounds for negotiation, and it is to be hoped that both the Lisbon authorities and Mr Nehru will examine them carefully.
These premises are what Mr Nehru would accept him- self. A minority has the right to exist. It has the right to preserve its creeds and customs so long as they do not physically impair the existence of its neigh- bours. Might has no rights when civilised othies are in question. All the world hopes that Mr Nehru will negotiato in the spirit he has vhunted and that he will find a peaceful solu-. tion to this ́ admittedly dificult question,
