dated December 22, 1950: Peace in Nepal

In a statement on Nepal, the Prime Minister reiterated India's stand with regard to King Tribhuvan and said: ``In the interest of peace as well as stability, King Tribhuvan Bikram Singh, should continue as the King of Nepal. We feel that in all the circumstances, this is the right course and any discontinuance of recognition would produce many complications and would come in the way of a peaceful settlement.''

Mr. Nehru told Parliament on December 21 that the Prime Minister of Nepal had written to the Government of India saying that he was preparing a proclamation addressed to the people of Nepal announcing constitutional reforms and other matters very soon.

Gen. Eisenhower appeals for unity

``The Supreme Commander of the West European defence, General Eisenhower told a press conference in Denver (Colorado) on December 20, that ``the situation these days is not nearly as dark as in the spring of 1942.'' Appealing for unity at home, the General said, ``I am extremely hopeful that America has reached the lowest point of disunity and it's going back up.''

Gen. Eisenhower said the responsibility of any nation which undertook global warfare must not be minimised. Without mentioning any country he said, ``If they are choosing global war they are not showing the wisdom they have shown in the past. I see no reason for the United States to act in an atmosphere of hysterical fear. It is silly to be too frightened or indeed too belligerent. A calm and determined America can get this job done.''
