India appears to have succeeded in helping to create the -independent state of Bangla Desh. It should not have happened by force. but it is a fait accompli. Millions of homeless and hungry people there must be fed and housed. not only these dispossessed by the fighting. but the 10 million refugees who are already beginning to return to East Bengal. The economy of the area is in disarray. technical and economic assistance. if it can still be offered. will be badly needed. I fear. however that offers of assistance from any nations other than the Soviet Union will be rejected.
