The Times of London in the same article says, for the moment however the Pakistan government is being urged to acknowledge its impose and to make concession that will return real political power to the elected representatives of Bangladesh. On the continent, comments in France and West German Newspapers by and large suggest the same line. The Daily Telegraph of London writes. President Yahya's possible aim was to install a civilian government which would include Bengalis in the next few days in an attempt to outmaneuver India but it failed. The Times-of London on December 6 writes "as Pakistan has rejected all the warnings of such appeals as world leaders made, India believes she has no voice but to enforce a solution for Bangladesh". It further goes on to say given the brutality of Pakistan behavior in the East since March 25, given the suffering imposed on so many millions of refugees and given the strong backing in Bangladesh for provincial autonomy Pakistan enters the conflict at best with a weak and disreputable record. The Daily Telegraph of London suggested on Dec. 6, "the best thing that could happen on the circumstances would be an early Indian victory in Bangladesh so that India could neutralize Pakistani offensives in the West. Sir Alec Doglas Hume, British Foreign Secretary in a statement to the House of Commons refrained from making any value judgment on the Indian subcontinent. The leader of the opposition Mr. Harold Wilson associated himself with Sir Alec's attitude in not arriving at a snap judgment on the issues raised by the fighting. Mr. John Storehouse, the leader member of the Parliament and a former cabinet member congratulated Sir Alec for not supporting the U. N. resolution and declared that the world community was to be blamed for not recognizing the rights of the 75 million people of Bangladesh. ১১ ডিসেম্বর, ১৯৭১ In a statement circulated through the East German News Agency ADN, the East German Government echoed the Soviet stand that the bloodshed in the Indian subcontinent should be halted immediately.
