UNITED STATES-UNITED KINGDOM-INDIAN AGREEMENT "ON CERTAIN MEASURES TO STRENGTHEN INDIA'S DEFENSES AGAINST POSSIBLE FUTURE AIR ATTACKS FROM COMMUNIST CHINA": Statement Issued by the Department of State, July 22, 1963 95

The Governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and India have reached agreement [July 22] on certain measures to strengthen India's defenses against possible future air attacks from Communist China. These measures include the following:

1. The Government of the United States will provide the Government of India with radar and related communications equipment, initially in the form of mobile units, subsequently in the form of fixed radar installations. The United States will retain title to the mobile units, which will be withdrawn when the fixed radar installations are provided. Equipment for the fixed radar installations will be furnished to the Government of India under the terms of the agreement of November 14, 1962, between India and the United States regarding assistance to the Government of India for the purpose of defense against Chinese Communist aggression.96

2. The United States will provide training for Indian technicians in the operation and maintenance of mobile and fixed radar installations and related communications equipment.

3. Elements of the United States Air Force and the Royal Air Force will join with the Indian Air Force in periodic, joint training exercises in India.

The above measures follow the findings of the Commonwealth/U.S. Air Defense Mission which visited India earlier this year in response to the request of the Government of India.

In the event of renewed Chinese Communist aggression against India the United States has agreed, pursuant to the present agreement, to consult with the Government of India regarding possible measures to strengthen India's air defenses in the light of the situation existing at the time. The agreement does not, however, involve any commitment on the part of the United States Government to come to India's assistance in the event of a renewed Chinese Communist attack.

"JAPAN'S ROLE AS A MAJOR WORLD POWER": Address by the Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs (Johnson) Before the Chicago Conference on Agricultural Trade With Japan, March 28, 1963 (Excerpt)?

Japan is emerging as a major world power at a time when, as it realizes, the national power of a single nation is not a sufficient basis for action. This is the lesson we have ourselves learned and had reimpressed upon us with each new turn of events. Each nation lives and works in a complex web of diverse relationships with other nations. To act effectively requires concerted effort.

The tasks confronting the free world in the decade ahead are truly enormous. All countries are faced by important problems of improving the quality of life in their own societies. Both Japan and the United States have their share of problems of this kind. There are problems of establishing more effective economic and political relationships between the developed nations. There are critical problems of insuring the security and independence of the developing countries and of promoting their economic and social progress. Finally, there are the broad problems of creating and sustaining a world environment of security within which these other constructive tasks can go forward.

The means employed will be as diverse as the problems to which they are addressed. If Japan is to achieve the secure place in the world to which its power entitles it; if Japan is to make the contribution to solution of these problems which it can make and which it recognizes as its responsibility to make its ties with other free nations will have to be further strengthened in a variety of ways. This is not something which Japan can do alone; Japan requires the coopera
