The Soviet Government has repeatedly professed a longing for an end to international interference inside Afghanistan. But Moscow and its surrogates have not ended their war against that country. and it now appears that they are instigating a war in Pakistan. It is not so much a civil war as it is an anarchic conflict. with different tribal factions. Kabul agents. Afghan refugees and the Pakistani Government drowning in a sea of disorder. One cannot imagine a more gross instance of interference than the disruption of a province of an independent. noncombattant state like Pakistan. Ever since the 1945 Yalta conference. the Russians have insisted on the primacy of spheres of influence in international relations.
