I asked him why they did not leave industry and housing to God, too... if public health and food are to be planned, so inevitably population be, or all our efforts will be brought to nought.' A.V.

In a chance meeting in Beijing in 1954, Nehru confided to J.D. Bernal: Most of my Ministers are reactionary and scoundrels but as long as they are my Ministers I can keep some check on them. If I were to resign they would be the Government and they would unloose the forces that I have tried ever since I came to power to hold in check... I have to work with people who are actually influential with the country. They may not be the kind of people I like but it is the best I can do.' To this Bernal added, 'He treated the rule of a country of hundreds of millions as if it were the management of a college in Cambridge.' Bernal Papers, MSS.
