So charges Russian biochemist Z. A. Medvedev in ‘The Medvedev Papers,” a book published in Britain and soon to be printed in this country. A prime exampleis “‘Science,”’ the magazine of the American Association for the Advancementof Science. The censors clip out articles, he Says, or paste an advertisement So They Say over undesirable portions of the text. They purgethe table of contents of offensive titles (but often forget to delete them from the quarterly index). : The doctored issues are then photocopied andsentto libraries and Subscribers, as muck as seven months late. Sometimes entire issues are suppressed. Interestingly, the bulk of the censored material is not about science but is found in the magazine’s “News aad Comment” section, whose articles are often highly critical of U.S. government policy. These are censored, Medvedev If you take that guidance, you’ll be wrong. —Ronald Ziegler, White House press secretary, reacts to Henry Kissinger’s 10-year-old son blurting out that Nixon's China trip will come “‘in early March.” If men of moderation havenothing to hope for, men of violence will have something to shoot for! —Harold Wilson, former British prime minister,ina plea for compromisein North Ireland crisis. reasons, because the Soviet authorities don’t want their scientists to know how green thegrassis on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

Aggressivenessof India Dispels TwoGreat Myths By ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON, —Whatever the miliatry outcome of India’s piously calculated aggression against Pakistan, India already has suffered one crashing defeat, Its deliberately provocative attacks onits smaller and weaker neighbor have resoundingly debunked for all time two great myths India has sedulously propagandized for years: —That it is a loftily peace-loving and nonmilitary nation that meticulously does meddle in the affairs of other countries, an sternly disapproves of others doing so. —That it is firmly “neutralist” and “uncommitted,” and righteously not beholdento either the East or West. authorities, these two sanctimonious claims have long had a hollow ring. Realistically, they have had no illusions about India andits self-righteous pretensions. Its crass falsity has been too glaring to knowledgeableinsiders. ‘Time andagain, India has proved herself a liar, hypocrite and a fraud. Example: ‘Afew years ago whenmillions of Indians faced outright famine and the U.S. gave andsold (for Indian currency that has remained in that country) immense quantities of grain and other products. Delbi pulled a typically deceitful act: On onehand,it stentoriously sided with the Arabs and with equal fervor championed the Vietcong; on the other, India excoriated the U.S.for supporting Israel andintervening in Vietnan: against the Communist aggressors. ple: While incessantly proclai its alleged ‘‘neutralism,"’ India irately threatened to crack down on its smail neighbor Nepal whenthatisolated Himalayan country proposed to modernizeits currency. For years, Indian currency was Nepal'slegal tender. As a modernization move, King Mahendrainstituted a native currency — to India’s vehementindignation. In retaliation,it threatened to stop the U.S. from using its hundreds of millions in counterpart funds in India (accumulated from sales of food to avert famine) as economicaid to Nepal. That amounts to only a few dollars a year, but India proposed to block it and wasdeterred only by strenuous Washington protests. DoubleExample: In the past 20 years, India has received nyre economic aid from the U.S. than any other country in the world — and shown the least appreciation. In fact, about all the U.S. has gotten in return for more than $7 billion poured into India is snooty disdain and censorious reproof — and often outright animosity and hostility. At the same time, while self-righteously proclaiming its ‘‘neutralism,” India has been armed to the teeth by Russia. Hundreds of millions in late-model Soviet planes, guns, and other military hardware have gone to India in recent years. Thousands of Indian pilots and other combatpersonnel have been trained in Russia. As a consequence,India today is militarily as much as Kremlin satellite as Cuba, Egypt and the other Arab countries, But it is’ 2 U.S.that has poured billiuns of economi aid into India, muchof it in the form of grain and other food. Clearly, in India, playing both sides to the middle — billions in economic aid from the US.and billions in armaments from Russia — is unctuously designated ‘‘neutralism.”” ‘This double-dealing drew scathingfire from Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., ranking member of the Finance Committee, when he learned Delhi was covertly sounding out members of Congress and others on taking expenses-paid trips to view the “heart-rending” camps of East Bengal refugees. Purpose of these junkets was to promote hostile propaganda against Pakistan, indirectly, the U.S. for shipping armsthere. In this calculated backstage lobbying, Indian diplomats carefully did not mention, of course, that their country, while piously professing to be “neutralist,” gets virtually aits weapons from Russia. Said Hartke ignantly ; “We have spent billions to keep India’s masses from starving, and the Soviet has spent huge sums to arm them.If that isn't breeding war, I don't know what is. If the Kremlin can arm India, then I sayit can also feed India. it’s time our country took a realistic look at suck glaring and expensive inconsistencies and act accordingly.” In the long-pending, highly controversial multi-billion dollar foreign aid authorization bill, India is earmarked to get $184,530,000 in economic assistance the currentfiscal year. tats oneof a numberof similarreasons So much opposition now prevails in Congress against continuing large-scale foreign giveaways — in the guise of efonomic aid. ’ Euro In the world community, Japan is a little more hopeful of im proved trade with Peking The influential business delegation just back fromthe Paul Harvey Chinese capital sounded a cautiously optimistic note Their chief spokesman, Yoshizane Iw: the Fuji bank, forecast a gradual increase WanttoKnow About ’72?
