I was pleased to see the review of the book on Satya Sai Baba This God is rise, P. 18, Lanka. Guardian, 1, 3 (I am sure = Kovoor too would have been.)
Are We not being too harsh on the man (or God as he is claiming himself to be). If Baba was Krishna himself then how could he be "moral in his conduct?" In this era of “gay liberation' and all the other liberal' stuff, Babais, perhaps, only trying to be a modern version of the "original: Krishna who restricted himself to the fair sex.

The Hirid says that President Jayewardene's proposal for a World Disarmanent Authority came as a 'surprise to many delegations'.
The Hindu also states that many -
delegates wondered why it was not placed first before the preparatory committee of the UN special session. It further adds that a siпilат.-proposal- пафle by the Netherlands was rejected by the non-aligned grg up.
The Hindu reports that there was “little enthusiasm" for the Sri Lanka idea and contrasts sharply with reports in the local press.
Whatever the intrinsic Inerits or demerits of the proposal itself, this kind of grand design' needs it the most painstaking groundwork, lobbying, canvassing and explaining, anlı Cndments and adjustments in the light of critical responses and Teservations. Only when Dajority backing is certain does any experienced government come out With the idea. And then tinning and the proper forum are of the essence. Otherwise, the county and the - proposer are : needlessly

In the Bandaranaike regime too, there were officials and over-elthusiastic members of coteries who tried to curry favour by coaxing signatures to grandiose Schemes. After some time, Mrs. Bandaranaike's sheer experience held to avoid such situations. Once again the Hindu report also reflects the state of the national press. The Government's initiatives, local and foreign, observes an Asian diplomat, are thrown into the air like

The Paris meeting itself was a byproduct of the NATO leaders conference in Washington the previous week, where President : Carter set the tone with his Chicago speech on the Soviet-Cuban involvement in Africa. (Castro summoned the most senior US official in Hawaila - in the Swiss Embassy's 'special interests' section - to deny personally the charge of Cuban engagement).

doubts flooded my mind. So the "Observer' was up to it again? The same "Observer' which made parliamentary history by fathering on the self-same Mr. Abdul Cader Shaul Hameed the juvenile gesture of speed-boating with actress Susan St. James by the deadly device of mixing up captions. Of course it was only Peter Fonda whovas engaged in these amorous escapades while Mr. Hamccd Was' doing his duty by his country and people inspecting an industrial complex iп South Korea.
After such a cause celebre any self-respecting newspaper would have slunk shamefacedly into the nearest corner or at least given its readers a decent respite before Presenting Mr. Hameed under a headline like "With the Minister spгats caппе: first----- for a report here our formidable Foreign Minister is foisted with an open. ing line like “Sprats i take OTECEdence over international affairs".

Why did Hameed pounces dramatically on that ha almesso? Did he have to go all the Way to New York for sprats. he is mot i always at home these days for dinner, as the international airlines doubtless appreciate only too well.
