Several papers print the full text of the surrender terms, which states that full protection will be provided by the Indian forces to foreign nationals, ethnic minorities and west Pakistani personnel. A report in the Times of an interview with the Pakistan Foreign Minister Mr. Bhutto in New York. Henry Tanner of the New York Times News. Service quotes Mr. Bhutto as saying that Pakistan should accept a ceasefire with India and should be prepared to negotiate a permanent settlement with the insurgents in East Bengal as well as with the Government of India. However Mr. Bhutto Said that he did not concede the final loss of East Pakistan according to Henry Tanner and said that what he called the secessionist leaders may soon come to be regarded as Indian stooges. He said that sooner or later there had to be a ceasefire. It was sheer madness to continue a war of this nature, and none of Pakistan's problems were resolved by it. Other reports from the United States say that America had given a cautions welcome to the ceasefire in East Pakistan and to the Indian offer of a ceasefire in the west. An United States state Department spokesman said that there had been no indication that the Soviet Union had exercised a restraining influence in the events leading up to a ceasefire. In the financial Times there is a special article by Robert Graham, from New Delhi. He writes on the consequence of India's victory in the east, and future Indian policy to the state of Bangladesh which they have recognized. India would like to maintain Maximum non-interference in its internal affairs, but geographical and political factors are likely to dictate close tics. New Delhi is bound to offer as much financial and economic support as possible, says Robert Graham. A short piece in the Guardian asks the question what a citizen of Bangladesh would be called. Four professors of Bengali in London are reported to have coined the form "Bangladeshiya" but the Bangladesh mission in London amended this to "BANGLADESHI".
