NEW DELHI, India, Oct. 18. the Kashmir question is not one which can be settled by compulsory said Minister Nehru to me yesterday in his office. It was the one topic of the hour's conversation on which he showed no effort to compromise or to explain. Having been in Karachi to talk to the Pakistan Prime Minister about Kashmir and having talked to Indian Government people and listened to Indians at the Lucknow Conterence on it for two weeks one gets the feeling that the reason Nehru says compulsory arbitration is out is that he strongly suspects any outside arbitrator would rule that Pakistan has the more valid claim to the much wanted vale.

Certainly 'Sir Owen Dixon's report to UN on his mediation efforts pointed the finger of criticism mostly at India. He blamed India for having refused all and sundry suggestions made by UN and by himself. He blamed India for talking loud about a plebiscite and for refusing to agree to conditions whereby a -plebiscite would be fairly held without threat of influence from Indian troops and officials. Nehru yesterday made, his broad foreign policy understandable to a Westerner, even his- somewhat neutral position to Russia and his refusal to go along with certain United Nations activities. But on Kashmir he put up arguments that fail to impress.

He says that it is no use takIng a subject like that to a third party -for a third party cannot. know -as much about it and might make an unwise decision. He also suggests it is hurtful to a country's dignity to take disputes. outside. to a.body such as the world court." Pakistan 1 has agreed to do this but Nehru says no.

This Kashmir question may be tedious to Canadian ears, It has dragged on and on. But it is a fearful drain on these two countries which are spending 60 and 70 percent. of their entire budgets on defence; expenditures, on forces aimed a at each other. It is crippling them at a vital time and there is no end in sight. At -Lucknow very soberminded Pakistani assured me that rather than let his country be overrun by India Pakistan would SaC make.

a pact. with -Russia and become some kind of satellite: Like your I thought he was. bluffing." But I am not so sure now. They fear India would so cripple them as to make their continued existence almost impossible, Russia on the other hand would probably strengthen their country and invest in its development. It would mean communism.of course but -the Pakistanis don't have so much' to lose.

There is no doubt that in the first. instance of this Kashmir -dispute the Pakistan Government permitted tribesmen to invade Kashmir and the tribesmen behaved in ghastly fashion. But there is some reason to believe that their invasion was at least partially provoked by anti-Moslem activity in the state. But it was Sir Owen Dixon's contention that the sins of -the far past must not, now stand in the way of fair settle: ment and compromise and it was his report that Pakistan deserved a goodly share of Kashmir and a fair plebiscite in the disputed vale. India will have none of this yet and I think I have not spoken to.

one foreigner in India who has not shared much of Dixon's view. That is a slight exaggeration. I can think of two now but 1 can think of a score who, take the Pakistan side. Pakistan has come up with suggestion which 'seems to me to put them on the side of the angels. There are four disputes between and Pakistan: one, Kashmir; two, river waters: three, refugees; four, currency exchange Pakistan has offered to submit all four points for negotiation for two months between the two countries, then for two months for mediation by some outside person or court or body, then for- two months to compulsory arbitration which Pakistan would accept.

Douglas MacArthur, certainly nails Uncle Sam's flag to the mast.

Truman's hard-hitting report to the U.S. was at once a call to Russia to turn to ways of peace, and a warning that America will go to war to resist aggression and defend 'her liberties. And not only will the U.S. fight to defend herself, but she will lend, aid to those struggling against aggression. Global Operations.
