No change

Six years have brought no change in the military situation, but there have been many political and economic changes. The In- djan Government has made great strides toward solidifying its position with an eye toward winning over the Moslem population..

Two years ago, a 11ew Kashmir Government com- menced, with India's help, a programme of subsidisation and major development. schemes. These inchided a proposed tunnel through the 9,000-foot Banihal moun. tains on the road from Srinagar to Jammu to link India with Kashmir, and ahydroelectric project to generate 6,000 kilowatts of power for local industries.

These projects plus con- tinuous support by Indía of the tourist traille which in prewar days made Kashmir flourish, has stabilised at least temporarily the aren's

economy.

The policy and programme of the present Government of Indian-held Kashmir. Is directed toward complete in- tegration with the Indian republic. Kashmir, says its present Premier, is an integral part of India and no action can be taken to separate it.

Still exists

The Indian Government, while supporting his ideas and his programme, recognises that a dispute over ownership still exists with Pakistan and before the United Nations,

Above tho truceline, Kashmir is still regarded as a separate political unit, and no effort has been made to include northern, Kash-' mir in Pakistan.

Pakistan regards Anat control of the area as sub- ject to agreement, either bilaterally with India or through action by tho United Nationa, Econo- mically, northern Pakistan's progress. Is reportedly far behind that of Indian-hold Kashmir, largely because the Pakistan Government has withheld a development, programme until the disputo. with India is settled.
