Press statement issued by BR in regard to the Sino-Indian boundary dispute. BR comments that "one can not have a third of the world's peoples at war without nuclear powers becoming involved." BR considers "... that the Chinese were to blame for inaugurating provocation"; however, BR also thinks "... that India ought to accept the Chinese offer of a cease-fire, although its terms may be distasteful to India."

A draft ts. is revised in blue ink in Schoenman's hand, and is typed on Plas Penrhyn letterhead.

Also present are three copies of the statement, document numbers: .177346, .177345 TS(D), and .177344; TL(CAR).
