DACCA: With the departure of Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan from East Pakistan, political observers in Dacca today [March 23] assessed the `psychological swing-over for the better` on the part of both the majority and minority communities of the province as the most outstanding contribution of his five-day `peace-plus-fact finding` mission. Symbolic of the general reaction to the Prime Minister`s tour was a remark by a top-ranking source to the effect that `if similar balanced statements of facts were forthcoming from Bharati leaders, this critical problem could be solved in less than the time our Prime Minister stayed in this province`.

During his stay in East Pakistan, highlighted by the growing inter-Dominion tension over the minorities, Mr Liaquat Ali Khan reassured the province`s over a million Hindus of an `honourable and peaceful living`... . Impartial observers here agreed with the Prime Minister`s diagnosis that the present nervous tension noticeable among the minorities could be checked only by stopping `irresponsible` elements in Bharat from talking war.
