Plan Welcome For Premier Os India , Indian Leader To Tour United States Washington.

Is traveling in Mr. Trumans per sonal plane, the Independence, which was sent to London for his use. Hl* trip is officially billed ' as a "good-will tour.” However. American officials are frank in stating that they hope this leader of a country of .Wt.ouo,000 people will wind up on their slde in the cold war against Russia. it is certain that United States officials, from the president down, will make every effort to convince Nehru that the destiny ot his country lies with Hritain and the United State* than with the Soviet Union. American officials realize that in seeking to win Nehru's support, they are confronted with his frequently expressed wish to keep his j country ’’neutral'' in the struggle between Russia and the western powers. However, they hope to get across to him the Idea that Mr. Truman's plan for development of backward areas throughout the world is a scheme for Improvement and not for enslavement under "dollar Imperialism.'' Nehru, the Impetuous and unpredictable leader of the newly-freed nation, frequently has expressed a desire to see the United States for himself. With that in mind, the state department ha* plotted an intinerary which will take him to New York. Boston, Knoxville. Tenn.. White Sulphur Springs. W Va , Chic ago, Madison.
