The Ambassador in India (Henderson) to the Secretary of State
2413. Bajpai Secretary General MEA told me yesterday GOI received as yet no reply its message some weeks ago to Commie Chinese suggesting time had come to reconsider question cease-fire. He added telegram received from Radhakrishnan Indian Ambassador to USSR that during latter’s recent visit London Soviet Ambassador had said that in his opinion time had come again to take up question cease-fire and calling of seven-power conference. GOI again requesting Panikkar sound out Peking and if reply seemed not too unfavorable it might through diplomatic channels again endeavor bring about cease-fire.
