Embassy, New Delhi
The Ambassador of India, who presented his credentials to the
President on December 19, made a courtesy call at 2:30 p.m.
Following an exchange of pleasantries concerning for the most
part the Ambassador's service in Rome, and my recent trip to the
Continent, the Ambassador said he brought me the personal greetings
of his Prime Minister. I thanked him and expressed the hope that
the Prime Minister was vell. The Ambassador said the Prime Minister
was well but was undertaking a very strenuous program - particularly
in connection with the electoral campaign.
I inquired after the health of Madame Pandit. The Ambassador
said she was now participating in the elections; that she was "the
only one her brother would listen to, n or who could "control him, "f
and that he hoped that now that she was back in India she would
exert her influence on Mr. Nehru. The Ambassador said Madame Pandit's
affection for the US vas such that when she left "she cried. 11 He
added that his own feelings toward the US were warm - that he par-
ticularly admired the open and responsive attitudes of the American
people.
I said I believed there were no really serious problems in the
relations between our two countries. The Ambassador agreed. He said
he thought US-Indian relations were now on a "more realistic" and
sound foundation than in the past, and that superficial differences
of opinion did not alter the fact that our two governments were work-
ing for common aims and objectives.
