LONDON: Pakistan`s Foreign Minister, Mr Z.A.

Bhutto, said here tonight [Sept 21]: `I am going to the Security Council for further discussions and in the light of those discussions I will be able to communicate Pakistan`s decision on the UN cease-fire resolution.` During a brief stopover here on his way to New York by air from Karachi, Mr Bhutto said that whether Pakistan accepted the UN Security Council`s resolution depended on the outcome of the discussions.

The Pakistan Government was still considering the resolution and before he left Karachi it had not taken a decision, Mr Bhutto said. At the airport Mr Bhutto was met by British Secretary for Commonwealth Relations Mr Arthur Bottomley. They conferred together in a private room at the airport. Agencies [Meanwhile, as reported by agencies from Rawalpindi,] if the UN fails to give a sense of security to the nations of this region, a fresh search for the alternative may have to begin, writes the `Pakistan Observer`, Dacca, commenting on UN Secretary-General U Thant`s report to the Security Council. Most of the East Pakistan newspapers in their editorials yesterday dwelt at length on the role of the U.N. in solving international issues and have apprehended that if U.N. proves as ineffective in the performance of her functions as it is now, it may meet the fate of its predecessor, the League of Nations.

Writing in the same vein, `Azad` fails to understand as to why the Security Council has adopted a new proposal to stop the Indo-Pakistan war by totally suppressing the resolutions adopted by it 17 years bacl(. `Dainik Pakistan` says that U Thant`s report aims evidently at shelving the Kashmir question and U Thant does not even care to suggest any steps for the political settlement of the Kashmir dispute which is the cause of the present conflict.
