The Asian conference held here last week, with Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru presiding, was the first "of its kind," as Carlos P. Romulo, the Filipino leader, reminded it. However, it was not a strictly Asian conference: the presence of delegates from Ethiopia, Egypt, Australia, and New Zealand-the last country being merely an observer denied it that character.
