Jawaharlal Nehru, who used to be careful to say little to offend Moscow or Peking. But in a memo to his ruling Congress Party last August, Nehru had criticized the "growing contradictions" in Communism, charged that Communism's "unfortunate association with violence encourages a certain evil tendency in human beings," and likened the Reds' reliance on violence to that of the fascists. Lately, Nehru has found himself under attack from no less a Red than Pavel Yudin, Soviet Ambassador to Red China and one of the Soviet Communist Party's leading theoreticians. In the December issue of the World Marxist Review (published in Prague), Yudin accuses Nehru of distorting Communism's meaning and discrediting "the real and living socialism" that the Reds are building in China and Europe. Nehru's police, he said, had committed "collective murders" in putting down mob violence.
But when they get to comparing notes, Tito might solace Nehru by reciting the more abusive things Moscow and Peking find to say about Tito.
