Pakistan Rejects Kashmir Accession To Indian Union
THREAT TO WORLD PEACE
Karachi, Oct. 29.—A spokesman of the Pakistan Government today declared that "it may be taken for granted that. the Government of Pakistan will refuse to accept the accession of Kashmir to the Indian Union."
He declared that the accession of this Hindu- ruled State, with a predominantly Moslem popula- tion, to the Union of India might prove a threat to world peace.
"Such an action on the part of the Pakistan Govern- ment", the apokesman added, "will have much more justification than that of the Government of India in refusing to recognise the accession to the Dominion of Pakistan of Junagadh (the Kathiawar State more Mos- lem ruler acceded to Pakistan and is now in Karachi),
