Assassination Gives Concern In Washington New Delhi & London
Washington, Oct. 16.
American officials voiced concern today that| the assassination of Pakistan Premier Liaquat Ali Khan may bring a new wave of trouble for an un- easy part of the world.
The State Department drafted a formal expression of regret. The Premier was regarded widely as pro-Western in his outlook.
Official worry here was based on two main considerations:

LONDON, OCT. 16.
A GOVERNMENT STATEMENT SAID TODAY THAT ADDITIONAL BRITISH TROOPS WILL BE DISPATCHED TO THE CANAL ZONE.
The statement said the decision was taken as a result of a series of incidents in the Canal Zone and the action taken by the Egyptian authorities to deny certain facilities' to the British forces there. The move was described as a "precaution- ary" measure.
Unconfirmed reports said that 3,000 British para- troops already have arrived in the Canal Zone.
The statement said, "As the result of a series of incidents which occurred in the Canal Zone and the action taken by the Egyptian authorities in denying certain facilities to the British troops there, it has been described as a necessary precaution to reinforce the British troops in the Canal Zone."
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said the move was in "no way designed to be provocative." He cited the following incidents: 1. A school children's lorry was stoned in Ismailia.

Pakistan's Tragic Loss
THE assassination of Mr Liaquat Ali
Khan is, for Pakistan, an appalling tragedy. It also possesses grave and dangerous implications, both domestic and international. Pakistan has lost its political chief and a notable statesman at a time in its history when it so badly needs wise, far-sighted and tolerant leadership. Mr Liaquat Ali Khan was the natural successor to Mr Jinnah for carrying out the task of guiding a new nation through its early problems and difficulties. There is no such obvious and natural successor to the murdered Premier, which makes Pakistan's loss doubly severe. The assassination has come at a time when India-Pakistan relations are highly strained. The Kashmir dispute has still to be settled. It remains an explosive issue, calling for tolerance and vision on both sides. The death of Mr Liaquat Ali Khan unhappily removes from the scene one of the more restraining influences. The danger of a communal war is corres- pondingly increased. There is, too, the possibility that Moslem feelings else- where will be outraged and inflamed by the assassination; that opportunist agitators and extremist elements will make use of the tragedy' to intensify
the crisis in the Middle East. It is not clear yet whether the murder wus motivated by political considerations or whether the assassin acted out of personal fanaticism. It appears he was a Moslem and a one-time member of a political organisation which had been disbanded for some considerable time. Whatever the motive, the crime was senseless and unjustifiable. Whether it will bring about any worsening of relations between Pakistan and India depends very largely on how Moslems throughout the sub-continent react to the affair. The possible eventualities are painful to contemplate and calm leadership is necessary at this critical moment. Britain, naturally, has deep feelings about the incident, for while Mr Liaquat Ali Khan was one of the architects of the new Pakistan nation and worked unceasingly for indepen- dence from British rule, he was a friend of Britain and displayed a rich and sympathetic understanding of the British attitude to the problem of creating independent states within India. The whole Moslem world is the poorer by an act which has removed one of its wisest counsellors,

to cause apprehension. Even while res ponsible Egyptian spokesmen are affirm- ing that Egypt has no intention of adopting forceful measures against the British in the Suez Canal Zone, highly provocative actions are being taken by mobs, with Egyptian police standing by making no effort to restore order. Little confidence, therefore, can be derived from the announcement that Egyptian troops are being sent to the trouble spots to guarantee law and order.
