Chaotic cos in India and Pakistan business at standstill
Chaotic conditions ara provailing in India and Pakistan and domestic as well as foreign business is virtually at a standstill.
This was the opinion of Mr. F. W. Kendall, mana- ger of the Hong Kong office of the Philip- pine Air Lines, who has just returned from o business trip to the indian sub-continent.
In ob Interview yesterday Mr. Kendall said he was sur- prised at the lack of know- ledge hero over the financial crisis now gripping India and Pakistan, which he described as very sqrious and unpre- erdented.
According to
him, the main
reason for this state of affairs is the refusal of Pakistan to devalɗe her rupee after Great Britain and Isla devalued their respegilve eurreneles last year.
Pakistan was the only British Dominion which declined to fol- HUW the lead of Str Slufford Cripps when he announced ster- ling's devaluation last autumn in - crfurt to Improve Britain's
