Kissinger arrives
on July 6

NEW YORK, July 1: President Nixon's National Security Affairs Adviser, Mr. Henry Kissinger, will visit New Delhi from July 6 to July 8 on his way back from Saigon, it was disclosed in Washington yesterday.

Mr. Kissinger is due to visit South Viet Nam and will later go to Paris to confer with Mr. David Bruce and other American negotiators at the Viet Nam Peace Talks in Paris.

On his way he will stop in New Delhi and Islamabad.

ernment has now implored New
Delhi to treat the entire sum as an
advance to be adjusted against
future grants but no one knows
what the Central Government will
do.

The Prime Minister had also
received a number of reports on
corruption among Ministers, the
latest being the case of Mr. Ram
Prasad Laddha, the Irrigation Min-
ister, and Mr. Manphool Singh,
the Minister of State for the
Rajasthan Canal, which rocked the
last session of the Vidhan Sabha
in May.

Mrs. Gandhi, it is understood, felt
that Mr. Sukhadia should have
called for the resignation of at
least these two Ministers and she
went on to express her displeasure
to him for his having tried to
defend them.

Party Rather Weak

There is also a feeling in New
Delhi that though Mr. Sukhadia
has been the head of the admin-
istration for the last 17 years, the
party organisation in the State has
remained rather weak. Except in
1957, the Congress never won a
clear majority in any general elec-
tion for the Vidhan Sabha. But
it somehow managed to remain in
power throughout this period with
the help of defections from other
parties.

Mr. Sukhadia himself has been
steadily losing ground in his home
constituency of Udaipur. He
secured a majority of only 3,000

Kissinger
arriving
on July 5

NEW DELHI, July 1 (UNI).

Shri Henry Kissinger, Adviser to the United States President, is expected to arrive here on July 5.

The US Ambassador in India, Shri Kenneth Keating, who is in Washington for consultations, is also arriving here on the same day.

Shri Kissinger's visit is part of a fact-finding mission to the sub-continent. The Government circles are not clear whether the adviser's visit is a result of Shri Keating's persuasion that things in East Bengal are really bad or that the President aide intends to persuade the Pakistanis during his tour of the need for an early settlement with the Bangla Desh representatives.

The circles note the British MPs delegation's outspoken criticism of the Pakistan army's atrocities in East Bengal and the studied silence maintained by the Americans in this respect.

of mahua flowers to the liquor
industry, controlling the market
and dictating rates both of pur-
chase and sale. As the demand is
less than supply, traders used to
purchase mahua flower from
tribals and other forest dwel-
lers at almost throwaway rates.

A redeeming feature, however,
is that along with denationalis-
ation, the state Government have
announced a price support policy
and appointed the State Tribal
Cooperative Development Cor-
poration as an agency to pur-
chase mahua flower in case the
price falls below the support
level. But the measure does not
go far enough as the corporation
would not be able to function in
all places.

The other reason given by the
state Government is that state
trading had led to starvation
among tribals and forest dwel-
lers who use mahua flower as
food for themselves, as cattle-
feed and in liquor preparation.
The truth, however, is that state

said after inspection.

Capt V. F. Bugrov, master of the ship, informed that it took 18 days for his ship to come to Calcutta with the relief cargo. Another Soviet ship, Zaysan, which is already on its way to Calcutta is expected to reach Calcutta within a week.

## POPE'S SYMPATHY

Pope Paul VI has assured a Calcutta priest that he has asked all those whom he could contact, "to do everything possible for the relief of the evacuees from Bangla Desh."

This assurance was given to Father Pierre Fallon of Calcutta when he was received in private audience in Calcutta on Thursday.

Father Fallon submitted a short memorandum on Bangla Desh evacuees to the Pope, who gave a donation.

In his message for the evacuees themselves, the Pope exhorted, "let all those who are sufferers, not lose hope. God will help them. Let them keep their faith strong in spite of suffering."

He said the Pope was conscious that charity alone would not be enough to bring about a solution. But he hoped sincerely that charity would help many to understand the situation.

Father Fallon later visited Paris where he was extensively interviewed on the Bangla Desh evacuees problem by Radio, TV and the Press.

India sees little chance
of early Bangla accord

By Prithvis Chakravarti
Hindustan Times Correspondent

New Delhi, July 1—The Gov-
ernment of India does not see any
immediate prospects of a peace-
ful political settlement in Bangla
Desh.

This is the conclusion the Gov-
ernment has drawn from a care-
ful study of Gen. Yahya Khan's
June 28 statement and the sharp
rebuff the Pakistani military
ruler's plan for political reforms
brought from the Bangla Desh
leaders.

The Government of India feels
called upon to officially state its
views on the Yahya plan—which
it may do tomorrow—as it is
most directly affected by the dis-
turbed conditions in Bangla Desh.

The shortcomings of the Yahya
statement are seen here to be
many. But the most surprising
element in it is said to be the
failure of the West Pakistani mili-
tary leader to grasp the mood of
the Bangla Desh people, partic-
cularly after the army launched
its ruthless suppression of the peo-
ple on March 25.

The official analysis has not led
the Government yet to give up
all hopes of the West Pakistani
junta being made to see reason
by the pressure of world opinion.
The British opinion, for example,
is seen here to be hopefully mov-
ing closer to the Indian view of
the situation. The Canadian ac-
tion in withholding military sup-

plies to Pakistan without quibbl-
ing over legal points is another
encouraging development.

The shift in the official posi-
tion of the United States, how-
ever, has distressed New Delhi.
The self-contradictory positions
taken by the spokesmen of the
various U.S. official agencies have
not helped to project an edifying
image of the U.S. administration
and its policies, it is said.

New Delhi hopes to have a
clearer picture of America's policy
towards the Indian sub-continent
from Dr Henri Kissinger, the
special Assistant to President
Nixon, who is due to arrive here
on July 6 on a two-day visit. Dr
Kissinger will meet Foreign Min-
ister Swaran Singh and may also
make a brief visit to some of the
refugee camps near Calcutta.

Mr Kenneth B. Keating, the
U.S. Ambassador to India, who is
currently in Washington for con-
sultations, is due to return here
on July 5.

Kissinger will
find it
hardgoing

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, July 2.

The two-day visit here of Dr Henry Kissinger, top adviser on National Security to President Nixon, reflects the anxiety of the Americans to assuage Indian feelings on the U.S. stand on the Bangla Desh issue in general, and the continuous shipments of arms to Pakistan in particular.

Probably, realising that the supply of arms to Pakistan and hence directly participating in the massacre of East Bengalis has resulted in Indo-U.S. relationships slumping to the lowest level since the days of John Foster Dulles, the Americans are sending to Delhi a large team with Dr Kissinger to seek avenues of understanding with the Government of India.

This task will not be easy since the Americans have antagonised the entire Indian population by the arms deals. In addition, Government representatives will be wary about American pledges and explanations since there is a yawning credibility gap between the American promises and actual practices.

Shri Jaya Prakash, who had just returned from a six-week world tour in support of the cause of Bangla Desh, was addressing a public meeting here today.

The meeting was held under the auspices of the Sarva Seva Sangh, Servants of Peoples Society, All-India Panchayat Parishad, AVARD, All-India Prohibition Council, Delhi Sarvodaya Mandal, Gandhi Smarak Nidhi, and the Gandhi Peace Foundation.

He also advised Shrimati Gandhi to maintain political discipline and financial austerit-y. Shri Jaya Prakash was critical of the way the Ministers were living—in pomp and show.

### AID TO REFUGEES

Referring to the aid given to look after the refugees, Mr Bottomly said: "We have seen the aid we are giving is well used. As far as possible more aid should be given and when we go back we will say that more aid should be given".

On the delegation's talks with the Prime Minister, Mr Bottomly said: "The Prime Minister asked what we have seen in India and Pakistan. We took the opportunity to express our admiration for those who are running the refugee camps under trying and difficult conditions. They are doing an excellent job with limited resources.

Kissinger will have uphill task

By Our Diplomatic Correspondent

NEW DELHI, July 2.

Dr Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's top national security affairs assistant, will meet the Prime Minister during his two-day visit here next week before he flies on to Islamabad.

Final touches are being given here to Dr Kissinger's programme. The meticulous care taken to chalk out his programme is no indication of the lack of warmth in the present phase of Indo-American relations.

The thinking of the officials here appears to be close to what the New York Times said in an editorial this week when it wrote that the exposure of the US "deception is likely to be particularly damaging to the United States' relations with India whose Foreign Minister left Washington a few days ago with what he believed were firm assurances concerning American policy towards Pakistan that have now been thoroughly discredited."

The US image has suffered heavily and the contrast with the attitude of the Canadian Government has made it more glaring. More facts are now available here about

the action taken by the Canadian authorities. According to the Globe and Mail of Toronto, the cargo that was to be taken aboard the Padma at Montreal included 46 cases of airframe parts for F-86 jets.

The application for the export permit was made on December 3. It was issued on February 9 and was valid up to August 9. On June 29 the firm supplying the parts was told by the Canadian Government that these could not be shipped and the export permit had been suspended until further notice because of the situation in Pakistan.

## MPs' visit

The Globe and Mail quoted a spokesman of the Canadian Foreign Ministry as saying that "because of the recent trouble in Pakistan it was decided at the end of March not to issue any export permits for military equipment destined for Pakistan."

Officials here are highly satisfied with the visit of the British Parliamentary delegation, which included two Labour and two Conservative

members. The delegation had the blessings of the British Government. Its passage is believed to have been paid for by the British Government. The British High Commissioner, Sir Terence Garvey, accompanied the delegation at almost all its engagements.

After having met Gen Yahya Khan and toured Bangla Desh, the parliamentarians' delegation substantially established the correctness of all that India has been saying.

In Islamabad the British delegation had heard the Pakistani allegation that only India was creating the Bangla Desh problem.

The MPs allegation has demonstrated this allegation. They spoke bitterly of the devastation created by the Pakistani army in Bangla Desh.

It is in this background that Dr Kissinger will find himself arguing the US case for continuing the arms flow to Pakistan. Judging by the mood in official circles here, he

The CPI Leader, Mr Hiren Mukerjee, in a statement said Dr Kissinger had better stay at home. Will not have an easy time.

Train delays
causes analysed

NEW DELHI, July 2 (UNI).

The Railways have identified
three major causes which delay
trains.

The causes of unpunctuality of
long distance mail and express
trains, discovered by the Coach-
ing Directorate are: engine failures,
coach defects developing on the
run and signal failures.

"All these are well within the
control of the Railways and are
capable of being effectively tackl-
ed" says Mr N. S. Swaminathan,
member (transportation) of the
Railway Board in his letter to all
general managers. He has im-
pressed on them the importance
of running trains in time and
asked them to fix accountability
for late running of trains at all
levels.

Mr Swaminathan's letter follows
the statement of the Railway
Minister, Mr K. Hanumanthiya in
Parliament expressing serious con-
cern over trains running late. A
punctuality drive has been launch-
ed from June 10. It will be on
for a month.

NO PAK TROOPS
IN NORTHERN
SECTOR

SHILLONG, July 3 (PTI)

Most areas of the northern sector of East Bengal are free of West Pakistani troops to a depth of about 25 kilometres from the Indian border.

Disclosing this, an Awami Leagu-
gue spokesman said today that the
Bangla Desh liberation forces, tak-

on the brink of collapse following
widespread destruction of rail tracks
and road bridges by the command-

hattan Bank, to Cairo. They con-
nect this visit with the discovery
in the Sinai oasis of the UAR of
large oil deposits, which according
to experts, are an exposure of the
famous Libyan oil-bearing stratum.
The discovery promises fabulous
profits to Egypt.

The annual output of oil in the
UAR amounts to 23.6 million tons.
When large-scale exploitation of
the new deposits gets under way,
the output of oil in Egypt may tre-
ble. For example, only the depo-
sit of Abu el Garadik, to be com-
missioned in the summer of 1972,
will account for 200,000 barrels a
day.

According to British business cir-
cles, Mr Rockefeller in his talks
with President Sadat explored the
ground for enlarging American par-
ticipation in prospecting and ex-
tracting Egyptian oil, and has
promised to facilitate a change in
the anti-Arab orientation of US
foreign policy.

He seems to have scored some
success in return for his doubtful
promises, for a few weeks after his
visit to the UAR, the Chairman of
the Administrative Board of the
Oil Company of the Suez Gulf, Mr
M. T. Shauki, flew to Chicago to
meet the director of Standard Oil
Company of Indiana which is par-
icipating in extracting oil in the
UAR.

American oil interests are trying,
according to their British counter-
parts, on the one hand, to secure
yet another source of big profits,
and on the other to occupy key
positions in UAR's oil industry and
get an opportunity to counteract
united action by countries of this
region more effectively.

# The Keating tale

## Our Special Correspondent

Reports about the threatened resignation of Mr Kenneth Keating as US Ambassador to India has not really bothered New Delhi nor is there any certainty that the whole story has not been cleverly engineered to get the Ambassador a little more acceptability in India than he has enjoyed in the past.

Informed sources point out that Mr Keating, a senator for over 20 years and said to be a person who was very close to the then Vice-President of the US, Mr Nixon, has apparently lost his contact with the US administration and as a result his credibility so far as New Delhi is concerned is almost non-existent.

His uninhibitedness as in the case of the Government decision to close down foreign cultural centres and his notorious absence on the occasion of the Prime Minister's departure for the US have not endeared him to South Block.

In this context there is a view that the whole resignation story has been cooked up more as preparation of the ground for the visit to New Delhi of Mr Nixon's special envoy, Mr Henry Kissinger, so that the latter can make a presence of changing the US line on India "because of Mr Keating's protests".

Anyway it is noted that Mr Keating is returning to New Delhi, well briefed about the US line on Bangla Desh in time for Mr Kissinger's grand performance in India.

Desh. It is considered significant
that Dr Kissinger travels to Islam-
abad from here for talks with Pre-
sident Yahya Khan.

For the U.S. Administration, the
two issues are interlinked. Wash-
ington apparently believes, indeed
the State Department said so in
a letter to a Congressional Com-
mittee, recently, that the arms de-

liveries to Pakistan gave it the
leverage it needs to talk to the
Pakistani military leaders on their
plan for Bangla Desh. The U.S.
Administration has not officially
commented on the Yahya state-
ment so far.

The security, economic and so-
cial problems being faced by India
due to the Pakistani army atro-
cities in Bangla Desh are also ex-
pected to figure in Dr Kissinger's
talks. His programme includes
separate meetings with Defence
Minister Jagjivan Ram and Plan-
ning Minister Subramaniam, be-
sides from those with Prime Min-
ister and Mr Swaran Singh.

The U.S. Embassy today denied
Press reports which said Ambas-
sador Kenneth B. Keating had
decided to quit the New Delhi
post due to differences with the
State Department on the issue of
arms deliveries to Pakistan. Mr
Keating returned today after a
month's stay in Washington.

A spokesman of the U.S. Em-
bassy said "the new Ambassador's
present plans are to remain at his
post and work for the improve-
ment of Indo-U.S. relations".

release said.

During the last three months
this extremist group committed
about 60 murders, raided half a

girl) lodged there since their ar-

year ago.

The plot was unearthed on May
27 when some bombs, explosives

# Kissinger arrives today

## "The Times of India" News Service

NEW DELHI, July 5: The U.S. Embassy has been reluctant to advertise the time when Dr. Henry Kissinger, Mr. Nixon's adviser on national security affairs, will arrive here tomorrow on a two-day visit. This is evidently to avoid hostile demonstrations.

In view of the U.S. supply of arms to Pakistan and Washington's declared interest in hustling new economic aid to the junta in Islamabad, there is understandably little enthusiasm here about the Presidential adviser's visit. The sharp divergence now revealed between Indian and U.S. viewpoints vis-a-vis the developments in East Bengal scarcely permits a meaningful dialogue.

The context in which the visit takes place rules out, therefore, anything significant emerging from the talks Dr. Kissinger is due to have with the Prime Minister and her colleagues, Mr. Swaran Singh, Mr. Jagjivan Ram and Mr. C. Subramaniam. At the official level, further meetings are scheduled to take place with the Secretary to the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary.

convinced that they are totally incapable of ever treating the East Bengalis in a just manner and that they have not given up the mad ambition of humiliating India on the battlefield. After all, it was not too long ago that Field Marshal Ayub Khan talked of his tanks rolling into Delhi.

No American misses the opportunity of telling his Indian listeners that the Pakistani army's outlook underwent a dramatic change for the better in September 1965 when it failed to live up to its self-image of being superior to the Indian army. But if that was indeed so, would it have acted in the extremely provocative manner it has in East Bengal? Surely the answer

must be in the negative. The implication hardly needs to be spelt out.

New Delhi has for too long taken comfort in the certificates of good behaviour that well-meaning and not so well-meaning foreign dignitaries have been pleased to hand out to it. It is about time it wakes up to the grim reality that it is being invited first to acquiesce in the consolidation of the Pakistani military junta's hold in East Bengal and then to discover virtues in it and support it indirectly by turning its back on those who are fighting for the freedom of their people.

USA urged to stop arms
aid to Pindi

CALCUTTA, July 5: The West Bengal Congress (N) committee today demanded immediate stoppage of US arms supply to Pakistan.

A resolution adopted at an executive meeting of the party said these arms would not only be used against the freedom fighters of Bangla Desh but also against India.

It said when the world conscience had been aroused against the barbaric Pakistani attack on the unarmed people of Bangla Desh and the genocide and rape in that country "we are simply amazed at the decision of the US Government to continue arms aid to Pakistan."

The US has set an example, unprecedented in history by sending arms against the freedom loving people of Bangla Desh."

# Policy Endorsed By
C.P.P. (R)

## FROM OUR SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE

NEW DELHI, Monday.—The Congress (R) Parliamentary Party concluded its discussion on Bangladesh today with its executive committee endorsing the Government's policy and members expressing, in particular, the opinion that now was not the time for recognition of Bangladesh.

The General Body of the party and its executive had devoted several days last week to this discussion, which often was quite agitated. They are now to pass on to the Budget, the party spokesman said, today.

Summing up today, the Prime Minister, in fact, said the main idea to emerge from today's discussion was organization of a non-official world seminar on Bangladesh (already announced, with Mrs Gandhi's endorsement, by Mr Jayaprakash Narayan, the chairman of a preparatory committee) and non-official delegations be sent abroad and others invited from abroad.

## BANGLADESH WEEK

(Last week the External Affairs Minister however had accepted a suggestion that rather than Indian delegations going abroad, efforts should be made to have parliamentarians from other countries visit India to study the Bangladesh situation.)

She agreed also to the observance of a "Bangladesh Week" for an explanation of the Government's policy and called upon the party to fight the "false propaganda" of Opposition parties on the Government's policy.

Also "liked" by the party executive (and "the Prime Minister did not disagree") was a demand by Mr Krishan Kant that Pro-sident Nixon's special emissary, Dr Henry Kissinger, should not

be allowed to meet Indian military leaders, such as the Chief of the Army Staff, General Manekshaw, as appeared to be his intention.

He is also due to meet a number of officials, including the Foreign Secretary, Mr. T. N. Kaul. He is not due to meet the Chief of the Army Staff.

The question of his meeting the Chief of the Army staff was raised at the meeting of the executive of the Congress Parliamentary Party by one of its secretaries, Mr. Krishan Kant. Mr. Krishan Kant felt that since Dr. Kissinger was coming for political discussions there was no reason why he should have talks with the Indian military leaders. The Prime Minister agreed with this view.

Kissinger

NEW DELHI, July 5—Mr. Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's special envoy, will be greeted with black flags on his arrival at the Delhi airport tomorrow.

The blackflag-carrying crowd outside the official reception enclosure will be led by members of the Communist Party of India and the SSP.

Commenting on Mr. Kissinger's visit the Delhi Communist Party secretary, Mr. M. Faruqi, said that his visit to "explain his Government's position on Bangla Desh was a camouflage for the real face of US imperialism which was actively helping President Yahya Khan's military junta to crush the freedom struggle of the people of Bangla Desh."

He urged that Mr. Kissinger must be told plainly that sweet words and statements would no longer mislead India.
