As of today, Portuguese policy
vis-a-vis Goa does not admit of negotiations conceived and carried out solely for the dis- posal of the enclave in favour of India What you call an enclave has had 500 years of association with Portugal an overseas province, and so to negotiate under Dressure for Its dismemberment from the mother country without Laking int

That a baals
of negotiations exists can be seen from Mr Nehru's willingness to retain Goa's "special cultural and religious personality. in the event of its absorption into the Indian Union. This con- cession at once accords foreign outlook to Goa, since the presence there of a per- sonality and mentality dis- tinet

To introduce by arbitrary action the notion that virtuo of geographical proximity a lar for state has the right to an- Bex a smaller state against the wishes of the people of the latter, must surely con tinue to be inadmissible to all thinking men.

Your Jeading article yesterday on the Goa question rightly contrasts Mr Nehru's attitude to Chinese lovasion and the threatening position Je taking over Goa. The Indian Premier is quoted
as telling Parliament: "1 am free to confess to this house that my soul reacts against war anywhere." And we must assume that when he says "any where" he means "any- where"
If including Goa so, why the troop movements? Why the
statement "Our pailence is exhausted”?

I wonder, does Mr Nehru realise
that he appears to be taking exactly the same attitude to- wards Goa as the Chinese taking to the Indian border? The
