Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 13, 1971, Winnipeg, Manitoba 10 Winnipeg free press monday december 13, 1971 non intervention fetish denounced by sex Diplomat by Charles w. Yost or. Yost is a United states Diplomat of 40 years experience what is happening today be tween India and Pakistan pro Vides a graphic and a foreboding indication of the kind of wars the world can expect in the 1970s. Since 1945 every Empire but the soviet and the portuguese has broken up and More than 60 new nations have appeared. Many of them contain sharply antagonistic ethnic religious or tribal elements and Lack any Long lasting tradition of National Unity. Some Lack accepted frontiers and have bitter territorial Dis Putes with their neighbors. Al most All Are underdeveloped with the vast majority of their citizens subsisting on far less than they had been led to be Lieve they have a right to expect. Conditions conducive to inter National civil and class War Are therefore prevalent throughout much of the third Southeast Asia the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent Are Only the most conspicuous and extreme exam Ples. What has happened in the subcontinent during the past liberals elect Wilson Saskatoon up the Liberal party of Saskatchewan elected Friday Garry Wilson a 39-year-old Regina lawyer As its president for a one year term the election filled a Post left vacant earlier this year follow ing the accidental death of r. A. Bobby Thompson. Rice value declines Bangkok during the first 10 months of 1970, Thailand s Rice exports totalled tons valued at million compared with tons in the corresponding period of 1969. Although the volume Rose the value declined 18.3 per cent. Y. 4 new wines exclusively for Manitoban nine months since the crisis broke out in March shows How poorly prepared the International Community is to prevent or control such wars even when their outbreak has been As clearly predictable As this one was. The reason for this impotence is not Lack of Means but Lack of will and the reason for the Lack of will is twofold first the unwillingness of each of the great Powers to offend one of the con tending parties or both second the fetish of non interference in the internal affairs of Sovereign states. The cause of the explosion in East Pakistan was of course the refusal of the pakistani government to accept the re sults of the free elections held last March and its suppression by fire and sword of the East pakistani majority which won the elections. This resulted in the exodus of. Nine million refugees into the most poverty stricken and politically unstable part of neighbor ing India. India has been saying for months that this situation was so gravely damaging to. Her own economic and political viability that it was intolerable and that if the International Community did not soon find Means to Correct it she would go to War. Whether she was Wise or justified in doing so is another matter but that she was going to if offered no bet Ter alternative has been entirely Clear. What did the great Powers and the rest of the International Community do very Little except wring their hands exhort the parties to restrain them selves slap them on the wrists with trivial arms embargoes and As conscience Money Send. Relief to the refugees. The United states and China were unwilling to offend their Friend Pakistan. The soviet Union was unwilling to offend its Friend India. Each was afraid that if either Pakistan or India was offended it would embrace a rival great Power. And none of the great Powers or indeed anyone else was pre pared to support the drastic intervention into the internal affairs of Pakistan which would have been necessary to resolve the conflict without War. It is said that the United nations has once again demonstrated its impotence. Indeed the Security., Council did not even meet on what was obviously the most imminent threat to world peace in 1971, until Large scale War had Actu ally broken out. However when we say the in did not act on a matter of War or peace what we really mean is that the great Powers did not want it to act the Security Council did not meet until War broke out be cause the United states the so Viet Union China Britain and France could not agree As to what should be done and most of them did not want to be put in the embarrassing position of taking a Public position against India or against Pakistan. Now War has broken out on a Large scale. The great Powers Are More embarrassed than they would have been had they acted earlier. The United states which has usually cited India As the key Stone of democracy in Asia has stumbled into an anti Indian posture which could unbalance our asian policy for years to come. The soviet Union has vetoed a series of Security Council resolutions antagonized most of her Council colleagues and Given the chinese one of the things they most wanted a Chance to make anti soviet propaganda. Meanwhile the War goes on. One wow think that by this time after Vietnam the mid dle East and now East Bengal the great Powers would Wake of to three facts first that conflicts in the third world can rarely be settled by one of them alone second that if such conflicts Are not settled they Are Likely More and More to involve the interest and Security of the great Powers themselves and third that the Best place j to Settie Tybera in Safe and time j by fashion is at the United nations where the great Powers and the parties to the conflict Are represented and where the rest of the world can Cushion confrontations and help in a settlement j however this will not be pos i Siwe Fri jail she great Powers de cide to use the in for the Pur poses for it was decide to give it More Teeth for these purposes sad decide to is aft to ask it to Fifer in ssh Swai 8 sack secs of Ceil to pro j a wider War.
