Lahore Is DeceptiveIy Calm,
With Many Signs of Strife

and Delhi disturbances In the belief
! that the disruption might cause the
Pakistan government to fall.
All Indian officials in Delhi with
whom I have talked firmly deny this
charge. However, some observe, of
the record, that the disturbances
have at least had the effect OF quell-
ing possible Moslem ambitions for
extra territory.
The provincial administration at
Lahore is at the cracking point.
Nearly all British and Hindu Off
cials and the remaining few Mos
lem officials are concentrating al
most entirely on ending the dis
turbances and helping the refugees
instead of their administration.
The financial burden is astron-
omical. West Punjab expects to
have cared for more than 100000
refugees before the exchange of
population is finished.
Food Crisis Impends.
A food crisis is imminent. Though
West Punjab usually has enough
food for its people, trucks and trains
to move supplies to needy places
are not available. In this respect,
East Punjab is in even worse po-
sition. Even without a great influx
of refugees, it is normally a food
deficit area.
Fortunately, however, many West
Punjab crops are now in the midst
OF the growing season. Where
Hindu and Sikh farmers have
walked off their lands to join the
trek to the Indian dominion, the
West Puniab government hopes to

LAHORE, Pakistan, Oct. g.
For . city undergoing fundamen-
tai social upheaval, Lahore wears a
deceptively calm and normal air.
Many shops and picture houses
are open. STILES, Volga, and other
restaurants do thriving trade,
while at nearby Falettis Hotel visi-
tors sit in the garden for their eve
ming drink as usual.
Elsewhere too-so long as one
stays away from the. SCARED,
burned-out walled city-Lahore
seems to be going along in its usual
way. While gardeners trim hedges
and cut grass at Forman Christian
College, American faculty members
push ahead with plans to open for
the fall semester in few days.
Like other foreigners, these
Americans have lived in the midst
of death and destruction during
the recent state of the Punjab riots
with apparently complete immunity
from danger of attack by either
Moslems or non-Moslems.
In all the Punjab and New Delhi
disturbances, the only foreigners so
far reported killed or injured have
been scattered military officers serv-
ing with native troops, or few
civilians who accidentally got into
the line OF fire.
Economic Life Disrupted.
Lahores placidity evaporates,
however, on second glance. Stroll
ing citizens turn out to be exclu-
sively Moslems, as the Sikhs and
Hindus left in frantic hurry when
communal battles broke out last
month.
Several banks are closed and
others are only limping along, be-
cause their Hindu stats have left
and Moslem requirements are un-
obtainable.
"One OF our major problems" a
young Moslem West Punjab minister
explains, "is marketing our oncom-
ing cotton and rice crops. The
Hindus who have always handled
purchase and sale, ginning, shipping
and other middlemen's processes,
have fed.
Now we have to improvise some
substitute machinery fast to save
the crops"
This problem is typical of the
difficulties confronting both East
and West Punjab today. They are
the result Of the rent of the closely
interviewer Hindu-Sikh- -Moslem So
cieties on both sides of the new
Punjab frontier between India and
Pakistan.

obstacles placed in the way Of nor

Effort to Wreck State Seen.
Though Pakistan Premier Liaquat
Ali Khan made a guarded reference
to this belief in recent public state
ment, the Pakistan line is to soft
pedal such suggestions in the inter-
est of restoring much-needed peace.

one provincial minister and other
highly placed officials have, never

Punjab in time to harvest the pres

Much will thereby be saved even
though the government loses big
slice of semiannual land tax due
to be collected this month from
farmers who are no longer there.
These are the conditions in which
the West Punjab government is
working in the midst of what must
be one of the greatest mass trans
fers of population in history.
