However, in other speeches throughout the week Nehru made it clear that he was against aligning India with the U.S. in a concerted effort to contain the only aggressor in sight. Americans who looked upon U.S. policy as a bulwark against the Communist threat to freedom would find little satisfaction in some other Nehru remarks of the week: "We have no intention to commit ourselves to anybody at any time . . . How can peace be preserved...
