Privately As Well As officially people refuse to admit to for Eigners and perhaps to them selves that it is happening. This continues to be True even though the Indian army is smashing deeper into the East Ern Wing of the country where West pakistani troops Are apparently trapped their lines of Supply and escape routes Cut off. Official spokesmen who Brief n e w s a e n nightly on the Progress of the week old War Between India and Pakistan have in recent Days begun to hint at the desperate situation of their army in the East. At the increasingly gloomy briefings they have told of re c e n t pakistani withdrawals from Small towns under Indian pressure and have admitted India has Complete control of the skies and water routes of the East. But the spokesmen continued to insist that Pakistan held the key town of Jess Ore a Day after foreign correspondents on the scene had reported its capture by India. They still confidently predict that the army will find a Way out of the dilemma and that Pakistan the world s fifth most populous country will sur Vive United. Pressed by newsmen who maintained that the army would shortly run out of sup plies and be forced to Capitu late an army colonel replied when that eventuality arises there will be a he said pakistani troops could hold out indefinitely largely because god was on their Side. This attitude is echoed by Pri vate citizens. There will be a Way out a pakistani journalist said to a foreign colleague in the course of a lengthy and straight Forward conversation. A businessman said we Are still expecting some Good news in a Day or these comments Are invariably followed by a word one hears almost constantly in Pakistan which Means whatever god the two wings of Pakistan separated across Miles by Indian territory were carved out of the asian subcontinent in 1947 As havens for moslem and pakistanis Are generally fervent followers of islam. In Many cases the dogged refusals to accept the unpalatable truth about military re verses in the East seem to be rooted More in unquestioning Faith that god will not allow such things to happen to a nation founded As a religious Sanctuary than in reasoned con hence. Western observers with Long experience in Pakistan feel this attitude which combines a deeply Felt fatalism with Faith in ultimate Victory dictated by god is Likely to be the key to Pakistan s response in the War against neighbouring India which is five times As Large in population much better equipped militarily and has a much greater Industrial capacity to fight a War. Islam has helped shape the pakistani s vision of himself and of the hindu Indian majority that he sees As his. Enemy. Standing near the Battle front a few , a pakistani Cap Tain explained Why his men were doing Wen in Battle one Soldier is Worth 10 in Dian ones. The hindus Are ruthless and cunning but they Are no match for us. We Are not a cowardly a visitor does not sense any reluctance in West Pakistan among civilians or soldiers to go to War against the Indian forces which have a three to Wie numerical Edge. For them the Jehad or islamic War against the infidel is already under Way although it has not been officially declared. Main asset this remark was made by an army colonel at a press Brief ing in response to newsmen s questions about the Progress of j the War god gives the ultimate Victory to those who re main steadfast god is our main asset at another session the Colo Nel startled reporters by saying thai pakistani Soldier had been killed in four Days of s heavy fighting. In Pursuit of Jehad no one he said. J As far As i m concerned he lives forever and in i the colonel has repeatedly said that East Pakistan will be i defended to the last Roan the last of . If accurate tins will presage a bloody end to the fighting. Some of the claims made at briefings have left correspondents rocked Altos. Thurs Day right for example pakis Tan asserted that pakistani retreating from As oat Post thai heavy Ai Tacic bad pc id 54ft raffia troops in . Eye were air Jefe be front line areas Are also. Its machines. With islam it has been the army that has held to Gether Pakistan which suffers from intense pressures for regional separation Here in the West As Well As in the East. Pakistani officers proudly and repeatedly Tell visitors that theirs is a professional army with High standards for a devel Oping country. The officer corps is an insular elite group that awards special prestige to jobs connected with augmenting the firepower of the greatly out numbered infantry Force piloting Jet fighter bombers and commanding tank units. The communiques reflect these interests. After six full Days of War the pakistanis were claiming to have destroyed and captured 114 Indian tanks. This would be about a tenth of India s known total number of tanks. More importantly it would represent Al most As Many tanks As India lost in three weeks of fighting in 1965, according to some in dependent estimates although the pakistani military spokes Man said at the same briefing that no tank Battles As Large As those of 1965 had yet occurred. In the air War Pakistan claims to have downed More than 100 Indian aircraft while having lost less than 10. Such claims one Well informed West Ern Diplomat suggested should be taken with a cellar full of no doubts they Are being reported energetically and As fact however by the pakistani press whose Battle coverage is almost entirely restricted to reprinting the military communiques. No interpretation or hints of doubt about military news appears in local newspapers. Asked if there was wartime censorship of the local press a pakistani journalist stiffened and said it is not needed. Our country is at War we would not harm at some of the press briefings the pakistani journalists have appeared to be More hawkish than the official spokesmen demanding retaliation against India for the bombing of civilian areas and urging the breaking of relations with the soviet Union for supporting India. The few admissions of set backs in the East that emerge from the briefings such As the closing of the Dacca airbase by Indian bombing Are buried deep in the next morning s papers 21 sports at Munich olympics Munich West Germany the olympic games to be held Here in 1972 will be the first to include All 21 sports recognized by the International olympics committee.
