THE KISSINGER ROUND

Dr Henry Kissinger, Mr Nixon's Security Affairs Adviser, has come and gone. He had no time to visit the refugee camps in eastern India, nor Dacca, to know how desperately urgent the situation is and to test what President Yahya Khan has presumably told him in Islamabad. In that sense his mission to the sub-continent is incomplete. But perhaps his purpose was more to explain to India the rationale of the continuing U.S. arms supplies to Pakistan and to exhort President Yahya Khan to adopt a more constructive line of political reconciliation in East Bengal of which there is little trace in his June 28 broadcast.

Dr Kissinger is reported to have spoken of "bureaucratic muddle" in extenuation of the U.S. arms shipments. But this private explanation, if such it is, does nothing to modify the public testimony of the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, Mr Christopher van Hollen before a Congressional Committee which clearly states it to be American policy to continue all arms shipments to Pakistan contracted before March 25-April 6 and economic aid as a whole in order to keep open Washington's lines of communication with Islamabad and prevent it from going shopping elsewhere. If Dr Kissinger's visit heralds a revision of American policy this would be all to the good. Meantime the United States is clearly out of step with American public opinion as well as with the

Governments of the UK, Canada, West Germany, France and even the World Bank. While all these and the entire foreign press corps have roused the ire of Pakistan's rulers, the U.S. has earned the dubious distinction of "no longer being a target of criticism" in Islamabad. If this is the certificate with which Dr Kissinger returns to Washington he will have totally failed.

The United States, like other Governments, has gratuitously counselled restraint to India. This would only be meaningful were the intervening time sought by Washington to be used to put such pressures on Pakistan as to persuade it to reverse the flow of refugees into India and end the continuing racial and communal terror that it is practising in East Bengal. This can only be reasonably expected to be brought about by a political settlement entered into with the Awami League which represents the majority will of the people of East Bengal and, in fact, of all Pakistan. If such a result is to be achieved soon then it is incumbent on the U.S. and other Governments to apply a quickly graduated process of pressure on Pakistan by withholding military supplies and economic assistance and even going to the extent of threatening sanctions. Otherwise, as Dr Kissinger has presumably been told, time is fast running out and no lofty tuttutting will deflect India from taking such action as it considers fit to safeguard its own interests.

Arms supply decision Nixon's

From T. V. PARASURAM
Express News Service

WASHINGTON, July 8.

Thirty-five million dollars worth of arms are still in pipeline for delivery from the United States to Pakistan. This was stated in a Senate speech yesterday by Democratic Senator Frank Church.

Senator Church said the decision to continue the arms supply to Pakistan was Mr Nixon's own. "Although the United States bureaucracy has advised against the filling of the arms against licences still outstanding, the President has said to go ahead anyway."

The New York Times confirmed the Senator's statement and said that both the State and Defence Departments had prepared a memorandum listing the outstanding licences and recommended to the White House that they be cancelled. But Mr Nixon ruled that the shipments must be maintained.

The thirty-five million dollars worth now awaiting shipment represents the total value of outstanding licences issued by the State Department Office of Munition Control before the programme of military sales was suspended on April 6 with retrospective effect from March 25.

Senator Church told his colleagues on the Senate floor the United States was supporting the Pakistani Government, "the very creators of the widespread suffering in their own country. We keep shipping arms, ammunitions and spare parts. If the Nixon Administration were really concerned about the principle of self-determination in Asia, the United States would do all it possibly could to end the gruesome tragedy in East Pakistan. At the very least our policy would be one of total abstention."

Whether Dr Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's Special Adviser,

on security matters, who left New Delhi today for Islamabad, has explained Mr Nixon's ruling and with what effect is not known here, reports PTI.

However observers have noted

that lifting of the embargo on sales to Pakistan of "lethal" weapons as "one-time exception" last year was also a personal decision of Mr Nixon who went through Pakistan's shopping list before approving it.

According to Mr Chandra Shekhar, Secretary, Reserve Bank Employees Association, relatively junior staff who had opted for the recently-created specialised departments stood quicker chances of promotion. Though the management had agreed in principle to combine seniority, their practice of interviewing only specialised department staff for promotion to staff officers was sabotaging it.

Nixon directly responsible
for arms supplies to Pindi

WASHINGTON, July 8—
Arms shipments to Pakistan
are being maintained as a re-
sult of a ruling by President
Nixon himself, it has now
been revealed.

Senator Frank Church,
Idaho-Democrat, charged in
the Senate yesterday that
military equipment worth 35
million dollars was still in the
pipeline for delivery to Pakis-
tan.

He said President Nixon
had refused to stop the flow
despite recommendations from
the bureaucracy.

Senator Church did not elabo-
rate on his figure of 35 mil-
lion dollars.

The New York Times to-
day quoted qualified sources

in Washington to the effect
that this figure was the total
of the outstanding licences is-
sued by the State Department
before the programme of mili-
tary sales was "suspended"
on April 6.

However, the figure of 35
million dollars, observers felt,
may not be a clear indication
of the quantums involved
since much would depend on
from where they were pro-
cured. Stores released from
defence surplus normally were
valued at much below the real
market price.

The New York Times said
that the State and Defence
Departments had prepared a
memorandum listing the out-

standing licences and recom-
mending to the White House
that they be cancelled. Presi-
dent Nixon, however, report-
edly ruled that shipments be
continued.

Whether Dr. Henry Kissinger,
President Nixon's Special
Adviser on Security matters,
who left New Delhi today for
Islamabad, has explained this
and with what effect is not
known here.

Observers have noted that
the lifting of the embargo on
sales to Pakistan of "lethal"
weapons as "one-time excep-
tion" last year was also a
personal decision of Mr. Nixon

and Rs. 80,- during the course of training which is likely to increase by Rs. 20,- at each stage. Free hostel accommodation will be provided to the apprentices wherever available in the Industrial Training Institutes. On completion of training, each apprentice, has to qualify the Final Trade Test. The successful apprentices are awarded National Apprenticeship Certificate which is recognised by the Central and State Governments for employment in Subordinate posts. Persons desirous to undergo this training are advised to contact Principals of their nearest Industrial Training Institutes of the Employment Exchange for the purpose. Industrial Training Institute pass and freshers can undergo Apprenticeship Training.

The Apprentices Act, 1961 make it obligatory on the part of employer in the public as well as private sector to engage apprentices for training in the prescribed ratio which varies from trade to trade. Employers are accordingly advised to select the requisite number of apprentices by 31.8.71, positively otherwise action will be taken against them under the apprentices Act. They

The move comes close on the heels of the publication by the New York Times and other American papers of highly classified Pentagon papers on the origins of American involvement in Vietnam.

According to a confidential White House memorandum signed by Brig.-Gen. Alexander Haig, Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the aim is to reduce the number of non-Government personnel who have access to top secret documents.—Reuter.

NIXON RESPONSIBLE
FOR ARMS SUPPLIES

Continued from Page 1 Col. 6

The use of the words "lethal" and "non-lethal" itself is meaningless since, for example, ammunition is considered "non-lethal".

Senator Church told the Senate the Nixon administration was failing to show the same regard for self-determination in East Bengal that it said it supported for South Vietnam.

"The administration is so unconcerned about events in Pakistan, as well as voices of

outrage in Congress, the press and among private citizen groups, that the transfer of arms to the transgressors continues on a 'business as usual' basis", Mr. Church said.

He said neither President Nixon nor the Secretary of State, Mr. William Rogers, had said one public word about the tragedy.

"The President has even reportedly sent 'a very warm, Kind personal letter' to the leader of the regime that has caused upward of 6,500,000 of its citizens to flee, and brought the possibility of war with India closer and closer", he declared.

Mr. Church, a leading Congressional opponent of American involvement in Vietnam, said that if the administration was concerned about the principles of self-determination in Asia, "the United States should do all it possibly could to end the gruesome tragedy in East Pakistan. At the very least, our policy should be one of total abstinence".

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, when it takes action on the US Foreign Aid Bill later this month, will consider amendments sponsored by Mr. Church, that would suspend 'economic as well as military aid to Pakistan until an international relief effort goes into operation and a majority of the East Bengal refugees in India have been repatriated.—PTI.

## Uniform scales for Govt doctors

NEW DELHI, July 8—The Ministry of Health and Family Planning has authorised state Governments to enforce uniform scales of salary and allowances for doctors employed under the family planning scheme and the general health services.

The responsibility for the implementation of the family planning programme will be shared jointly by the doctors posted at the primary health centre. Both will be required to give the minimum performance of 30 sterilisations or 150 IUCD insertions to entitle them for remuneration by the state Government, subject to a limit of Rs. 11, 30 and 40 for IUCD insertions vascectomy and tubectomy respectively.—UNI.

NO SOVIET ARMS
July 6, 71
FOR PAKISTAN

Our Special Correspondent

SOVIET AMBASSADOR N. M. PEGOV CALLED ON FOREIGN SECRETARY T. N. KAUL ON MONDAY AND CATEGORICALLY DENIED REPORTS ABOUT THE USSR HAVING SUPPLIED ARMS TO THE MILITARY REGIME IN PAKISTAN SINCE ISLAMABAD BEGAN ITS BRUTAL REPRESSION OF BANGLA DESH ON 25 MARCH.

The Soviet Ambassador's visit followed inspired reports circulating in the Capital about such arms shipments. A New Delhi English daily had published such a report.

Earlier in the morning Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Foreign Minister Swaran Singh said that they had received no information about any Soviet arms supplies to Pakistan.

Observers in the Capital were of the view that the US Embassy had taken an active role in propagating such reports, apparently to prepare for the visit of President Nixon's special envoy, Dr. Henry Kissinger on Tuesday. They said the rumours smacked of American efforts to "distribute the criticism" by India of the continuing American arms shipments to Pakistan and Washington's apparent support to the Islamabad regime.

Observers also point out that only Moscow and the East European countries generally have formally condemned the genocide by Islamabad in Bangladesh and called for a political solution with the true representatives. In this light they say no one can seriously imagine that USSR would send arms to Islamabad which is being openly supported by both the US and Peking.

The Lok Sabha will discuss on Wednesday the alleged arms supply by the Soviet Union as well as France to Pakistan through aed by some Opposition parties.

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi told the executive committee of the Congress Parliamentary Party in the morning that the Government had no information about any recent supply of Soviet arms to Pakistan.

Mr. Satpal Kapoor had raised the issue in the meeting drawing at-

## SECRECY

Ten years ago he wrote, "Our
dership must convince public
union that we have to increase
military expenditures even
while making earnest efforts to
gotiate arms control." Today
over the many exposures of sec-
dals which have made the
Government totally suspect
at home and abroad, he may
probably postulate such a hy-
draulic formula so blatantly;
he and the Teutonic advi-
ses of the President have the
prejudice for secrecy and
liberate opposition between the
ends of American policy and
that is said. If shipments of Amer-
an arms were going on to Pak-
ton while Secretary of State

pressing sympathy for India to

who knew about it, approved and
ranged it must have been Dr.

A State Department official
explained of Dr Kissinger and

specific regional expertise and

ly and seriously than ever be-
lieve". From the Bay of Pigs,
though the decision to enlarge
the war in Vietnam, intervene in
Asia, to invading Cambodia, Dr
Kissinger has been one of the
secret decisive forces operating
in the Pacific.

Twelve
years after Mr Nixon took office,
Dr Kissinger got for himself the
central assignment to appease
Korea to the maximum. He
worked on it diligently, using
the American and Pakistani diplo-
grams till the Ping-Pong visit was
over.

His understanding of the Asian
situation is that America can in

Union, the Socialist countries of
Europe, the Middle East and In-
dia. In this vast geopolitical ven-
ture a number of otherwise un-
important Governments will have
to be coddled. Pakistan is one
such entity and if Dr Kissinger
after visiting Indo-China is in
Delhi on his way to Islamabad,
his true purpose can only be to
draw the outlines of a new pro-
gramme of secret treachery
against this country and its in-
terests. Whatever American offi-
cials in the State Department
may whisper in the sympathetic
ears of our ambassadors like Mr
L. K. Jha or Mr Rogers who is
very much of an outsider may
tell visiting ministers from India,
the CIA-Pentagon approach to
this country has steadily been
hardening and is today one of
blackmail if possible and back-
stabbing when necessary.

## FACT-FINDING

Dr Kissinger is reported to be
on a "fact finding" mission in
connection with the develop-
ments in Bangla Desh. The Amer-
ican geopolitical mind regards
Bangla Desh as part of South
East Asia that must be shored
up against the spread of radical
nationalism.

tence that such reports are not

are not to be suspect in this
country.

## CIA POWER

Dr Kissinger's working life has
been one long adventure in sec-
ret manipulation of Americans
and foreigners in high places. He
must be made to understand that
his talents will not pay any re-
turns here. It is not beyond him
to resort to threats of increased
military aid to Pakistan. If such
threats are made they should be
spurned and the US Government
told through him that if the
Western powers resort to black-
mail we in our turn will exercise
our sovereignty, recognize Ban-
gla Desh and give it such aid as
we can. Those whom he tries
to cajole or convert should not
forget that he was the cynical in-
ventor of the theory of "limited
nuclear war" which held the
stage for some time in the for-
mulation of American strategy. If

# Talks With Kissinger
To Be Wide-Ranging

## FROM OUR SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE

NEW DELHI, Sunday.—This week's talks between Indian Government leaders and Dr Henry Kissinger, adviser to President Nixon, are expected to cover a wide range of problems flowing from the Bangladesh struggle. These will not be restricted to continued supply of U.S. arms to Pakistan.

Dr Kissinger arrives here on Tuesday for a two-day visit.

The very fact that Dr Kissinger's itinerary includes both India and Pakistan shows that the discussions may cover the entire gamut of the present geo-political realities of the subcontinent.

In New Delhi, Dr Kissinger will have talks with the Prime Minister, Mr Swaran Singh and Mr Jagjivan Ram. It will be followed by a round of discussions with senior officials of the Prime Minister's Secretariat, the External Affairs Ministry and possibly with Gen Manekshaw

The Indian Government will, naturally, indicate its concern

over what is, in its view, a shift in the U.S. stand on arms supply to Pakistan after Mr Swaran Singh's recent visit to Washington. The other new element in the situation since then is Gen Yahya Khan's rejection of a political settlement that would assure the return of the refugees to East Bengal. This will be Dr Kissinger's main subject of discussion in India and Pakistan.

So far, Washington has not reacted to the Yahya plan. The caution perhaps shows its dissatisfaction. How this feeling is conveyed to Pakistan and with what results is to be seen. Indian representatives will, obviously, take the known line—that a Government of Quislings and breakaway sections of the Awami League is hardly the way out of the present impasse, and that it has not, and will not, lead to the return of the refugees.

The other point of interest is whether U.S. disappointment over the Yahya plan will affect its arms supply policy.

The main feature of the American policy has been the desire to do business with Gen Yahya Khan while simultaneously expressing displeasure over the happenings in East Bengal.

No confirmation was available here on Washington reports that the U.S. Ambassador, Mr Kenneth Keating, had threatened to resign in protest against his Government's policy on arms supply to Pakistan. The Ambassador is due back here tomorrow—in time for Dr Kissinger's visit.

It is considered likely that Mr Keating had conveyed to his Government his concern over the recent turns in decision-taking. This, he perhaps told Washington, would come in the way of his effective functioning in New Delhi.
