WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—The assassination of Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan of Pakistan
increases the danger of a Kashmir war with-
India and stimulates more Middle Eastern defiance of the Allies. Iiaguat was a moderate, Nationalist fanatic murdered him. There is nobody to replace him. There are other Pakistani moderates, but none witn

His loyalty to the British Commonwealth of nations and to the United Nations was no mere expediency. Yet that loyalty was sorely strained. Neither the British Commonwealth nor the United Nations was willing or able to insist on the peaceful international settlement of the Kashmir dispute to. which he courageously committed his country.

The religious fanatics have been shouting for a holy war. Because Liaquat stood against that he has been shot down. Whatever else may be said of the motives and methods of India's Nehru, in blocking a Kashmir settlement by either the British Commonwealth or by the United Nations, he has now lost the chance of dealing with the most conciliatory Pakistani and the one best able to enforce a compromise. The United Nations will be on the spot more than ever, Liaquat was orienting Pakistan toward the Middle East and West, rather than toward the Far East. Under him leadership of the Moslem world might have shifted from decadent Egypt to dynamic Pakistan. Now with Egypt-and Iran sabotaging collec-
Mossadegh was in power, There has been a similar potential -in* Jordan since the assassination of King Abdullah, though fortunately it has not vet developed fully. Among all the nations from the Mediterranean to the Pacific, none has made such rapid progress as the four-year old state of Pakistan. That astounding record largely reflects the leadership of Liaquat, an Oxford-educated Moslem with a modern mind. He was the kind of administrator that rarely rises in the Orient. He required efficiency and demanded speedy results. But the most unusual thing about hin was his faith in the West, and in co-operation between
troubled spots of the world. Latest in the chain of violence, of unpredictable consequences, is the assassination of Pakistan's Premier, Liaquat Ali Khan. It follows close on the heels of riotous eruptions in Egypt, of extreme nationalism’s upsurge in Iran, of unrest in Morocco, in Indonesia, of turbulence in Malaya and the open wars going on in Indo-China and Korea. “ "At a time when the free nations are striving to build a common defense against international Communist aggression, it is calamitous that yet another political disaster should strike.

Scratch One Elephant
AST spring a story got out in Washington that the King of Cambodia was sending a white elephant to President Truman. When the King heard of it, he said he wasn't but he would. Followed then five months of diplomatic maneuvering to get the elephant—non-white, as it turned out—shipped to the U. S. This intricate correspondence has just been revealed.
