We keep shipping arms. ammunition. and spare parts and. although the U.S. bureaucracy has advised against filling the arms export licenses still outstanding. the President has said to go ahead anyway. Thus. the American Government gives tacit support to a regime at which even the British Conservative Government has openly expressed outrage. Sir Alec Douglas Home. the Foreign Secretary and a man noted for his high regard for the Pakistani oligarchy in the past. has urged: The creation of a framework in which civil government can be formed. that will give confidence to the refugees to return home. Otherwise. he has warned: The danger of war is very real and could convert what is already a tragedy into a catastrophe. American editorialists have unanimously labeled the regime in the harshes" words possible. the Washington Evening Star rightly saying: The American people are not in a mood to finance experiments in genocide.
