Shalimar, Lahore

Fort beautiful, says

Mrs. Kissinger

"Beautiful and magnificent." This was how the historical 17th century Shalimar Gardens and the Lahore Fort were described by Mrs. Nancy Kissinger during sight-seeing in Lahore on Monday morning.

Tall and stately, looking and
drapped in pale cream dress Mrs.
Kissinger was accompanied to
these places by Begum Sadiq Hus-
sain Oureshi, wife of the Punjab
Chief Minister, Begum Muzaffer
Malik, wife of the Chief Secre-
tary, and Mrs. Henry Bvroade,
wife of U.S. Ambassador in Pak-
istan.

Despite continuous rain she
spent about an hour at both
places admiring their beauty and
seemed fascinated by the splen-
dour of the Moghal architecture.
She was presented with booklets
about these two historical places.

On her way back she did shop-
ping on the Shahrah-i-Quaid-i-
Azam and bought some jewellery
and handicrafts.—APP.

Pakistan's Security

The U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger said in Lahore the other day that the security, territorial integrity and independence of Pakistan are "a matter of great concern for the United States". It is not for the first time that an American leader of his eminence has made such a statement. It is also a fact that with the passing of time, Pakistan's security has come to assume more and more importance for what used to be called the Free World.

It is a matter of equally vital importance that the United States has come to accept the security of Iran also basic to peace and progress in this part of the world. It was extremely logical on the part of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to draw the conclusion that if the United States considers Iran's security is so vital to the interest of the world and for the stability and equilibrium in this region, ipso facto it must come to the same conclusion in respect of Pakistan. "There cannot be", he added, "a dichotomy in that approach". Dilating on this point, he remarked, "If a dichotomy is introduced into or injected into that approach, then the whole concept fails because there cannot be a halfway house to strategy of concept when the earth shakes. So we believe in the pro rata and we are correct".

Iran and Pakistan are immediate neighbours. They are not only geographically contiguous but statistically, too, there is not much to choose between them. Both are flanked by the Arabian Sea to their south where hinterland is made up of vast rolling plains and corrugated mountains. Both are extremely rich in natural resources. Realists as the Americans are they seem to be fully appreciative of these facts. That is why they have repeated again and again that they look upon the integrity of Pakistan as corner stone of their foreign policy. Mr. Bhutto has always held that the integrity of Iran and Pakistan is indivisible.

It is happy to note that Ameirca too has been won over to the same view. Might it be that it was in this very context that Dr. Kissinger, talking of Mr. Bhutto's political acumen, said: "And those of us who have been exposed to this advice suffer from the fact that he almost invariably turns out to be right". This is because Mr Bhutto looks at things straight in the face. His approach to politics is scientific. That is a great achievement on the intellectual plane. Both Mr. Bhutto and Dr. Kissinger command that insightful height.

SUCCESSFUL TALKS

In the editorial paper said Bhutto-Kissinger talks concluded satisfactorily. Pakistan was surprised, however, at the US opposition to Pakistan acquiring reprocessing plant.
