The article discusses socio-political issues of the world. It states that the apparent failure of Britain to move quickly to the aid of Greece has provoked criticism in the U.S. But air bases cannot be established overnight and as the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill has pointed out, up to the Italian invasion Greece had maintained the strictest neutrality and there had been no possibility of planning dispositions in advance. However, once established in the Aegean Islands, the British navy and air force should be able to harass Italy very effectively. It also states that imprisonment of Jawaharlal Nehru, who stands second only to M.K. Gandhi as leader of the National Congress, is bound to have serious repercussions through India.
