India's Seat on the Security Council
SIR,—The period of uncertainty in China, to which Mr. Talunankar referred in the Spectator of October 28th, was surely ended by the • declaration of the People's Republic of China and the formation of the People's Government on October 1st. While China is batoming more united and stronger than she has been for a century, India today is divided into two far from friendly countries.
For those who desire a peaceful Asia and world, surely the thing to do today, as has been urged even by the Daily Telegraph, is to press that the People's Republic of China be allowed to take her rightful place as a permanent member of the Security Council. To raise the question of India's displacing China as a permanent member scarcely helps the
peace of Asia or the world.—Yours faithfully, ARTHUR D. CLEGG. 4 Aberdare Gardens, N.W.6.
