Now, Sir, I have some doubts about certain parts of the article that we are to be friends of all. But common sense and experience teach us that those who are friends of all sometimes have no friend at all. Therefore, when we want ends and means to be pure, we should make our policy somewhat clear. To Russia, we may and should say “we accept and we appreciate your aims and ideals, but your means are rather crude, sometimes they are very doubtful.” To England and to America, we must say “we have very many misgivings about your wines and ideals. Your means are very polished, very very civilised”. So we should show a certain indication in our foreign policy and when we have men like Pandit Nehru at the helm of foreign affairs and when the foundations of peace and non-violence have been laid down by the Father of the Nation, this country need not despair of its future; it can even hold out a future to the whole of the world.
