 “Was it ‘absolute neutrality for a State Department spokesman to brand India as an aggressor?

 “Is it ‘absolute neutrality’ in the wake or those actions to withdraw economic aid commitments to India without ending similar aid to Pakistan?

 “Is it ‘absolute neutrality’ when we simply call for a cease-fire which would leave in place the Pakistani troops that have oppressed the people of East Bengal?

 “The essential problem is the future of East Bengal. There will be no lasting end to the fighting until the people of East Bengal can see for themselves a more certain and just future. It is not for us to determine that future, but we can help set the stage for the people of that area to work out their problems peacefully.”
