If not. are we rot engaged in an exercise in papertigerism? Mr. President. I should like to point out that increasing Russian influence in India stems from an IndoSoviet friendship treaty signed last summer when this administration had persistently refused to address itself to the situation in East Pakistan. Eight to 10 million refugees have fled to India. placing an insupportable burden on her scant resources. Did the President not have enough influence with his friends in West Pakistan to impress upon them the futility of their repression? If we had strongly condemned Pakistans actions rather than standing silent. could we not have helped forestall the present conflict?
