Dispute in India Serious
Threat to Western Program
Bv Richard Wilkin
(United Freiu Staff Corrtwpondent)
Lake Success, N. Y., March 2
IIP) The two-year-old dispute be
tween India and Pakistan over
the former princely state of Kash
mir has raised a serious threat to
the western policy of damming
communism in southeast Asia,
United Nations observers said to
day. The dispute has halted all trade
between the two new dominions
and has sent their military budg
ets soaring out of all proportion
to their economy, a situation that
is tailor-made for the advance
ment of communism.
Each country is spending about
half its total budget for defense.
India's military outlay for 1949-50
was $485,880,000 and Pakistan
spent $156,000,000. India's new
defense budget for 1950-51, pro
posed this week, is four per cent
higher than last year.
The dispute started more than
two years ago when Great Britain
pulled out of India and split the
sub-continent Into the Hindu state
of India and the Moslem state
Pakistan,
f " Figures Involved
Both claim sovereignty over the
' 85,000 square miles of Kashmir
i with its 4,000,000 inhabitants,
j One Important argument on
l Pakistan's side of the case is the
! fact that 77 per cent of the peo
ple of Kashmir are Moslem,
i But there is more to the picture
than that.
The maharajah under the old
colonial regime was a Hindu. The
agreement under which India
was partitioned authorized the
princely states to "accede" either
to India or Pakistan.
The maharajah acceded to In
dia. Pakistan contends this move
not only flouted the wishes of the
predominantly-Moslem population
but also violated or ignored oth
er principles of geography and ec
onomic alignments.
Fighting broke out in Kashmir
and the UN scored one of its more
noteworthy successes in stopping
the hostilities which, as they pro
gressed, brought growing num
bers of Pakistan and Indian
troops into the fray. All-out India-Pakistan
war had threatened.
Plebiscite Called
The UN cease-fire went into ef
fect Jan. 1, 1949. The UN com
mission working on the problem
also obtained agreement of both
sides that a plebiscite should be
held in which the Kashmir peo
ple would decide for themselves
whether to join India or Pakis
tan.
Soon afterward, Fleet Adm.
Chester W. Nimilz, retired, was
named by UN secretary-general
Trygve Lie to supervise the bal
loting. .
It was .agreed that before the
plebiscite, a firm truce, would
have to be agreed upon and large
scale demilitarization would have
to be carried out.
Neither of these two priority
measures has been accomplished.
The snag on which the plebis
cite ostensibly has been caught is
a sharp disagreement between
the two sides over the program of
demilitarization.
Arbitration Proposed
The UN commission last sum
mer proposed arbitration and
Nimitz was generally looked on
as the man to do the arbitrating.
faKisian accepted; India refused.
Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton of
Canada put forward a plan for
demilitarization when he was se
curity council president last De
cember. Again, Pakistan accept
ed; India refused.
The five-nation UN commission
virtually gave up the ghost in
December and suggested to the
security council that the problem
be put In the hands of a single
mediator.
The United States, Britain, Cu
ba and Norway have incorporat
ed the suggestion in a formal res
olution, which also would call for
completion of demilitarization
within five months. Prominently
mentioned for the role of mediat
or are Nimitz and McNaughton.
Meanwhile, relations between
India and Pakistan sink lower
and lower. They are at odds not
only over Kashmir but also over
two 'other princely states, Hyder
abad and Hunagadh,
Farm Income
Again Lower
Washington, March 2 (IP) For
the second straight year, farmers
have suffered a 10 per cent cut
back in crop sales during Janu
ary and February.
The agriculture department es
timated today that cash . receipts
from farm marketings totaled
$3,700,000,000 during those two
months.
If this 10 per cent disparity
continues throughout the year,
net farm income may drop even
more, perhaps as much as 15 per
cent, since farm production costs
are expected to stay relatively
hieh.
If it does, the total would be
about $11,740,000,000, the smallest
in eight years and 34 per cent
Deiow the iai i record.
Some states are being hit hard
er than others in the overall cut
back. Cash receipts from farm
marketings in North Dakota last
year dropped 32 per cent. On the
other hand, cash receipts for
those in Florida rose 19 per cent.
.Cash receipts from farm mar
ketings in 1949 for the top 20
farm states, and the percentage
increase or decrease, were esti
mated by the department today
as follows in these states:
