Shastri hails Soviet Policy

The Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri said here [Kiev] last night [May 17] that
the Soviet Union had placed the new idea of peaceful co-existence in the world which other
nations should accept to strengthen the cause of peace. Mr. Shastri, who was speaking at a
banquet given by the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Mr. Kazanets, said, If the world accepts this
principle of peaceful co-existence in which the Soviet Union has provided a lead then the
problems like banning nuclear weapons and attaining general disarmament can be solved.
Mr. Shastri praised the bravery and courage of the people of Ukraine who lost hundreds of
thousands of people in the last war.
Dockers block export
The All-India Port and Dock Workers Federation decided to-day [May 18] to boycott loading
and unloading of ships sailing for Pakistan ports. The first ship to be boycotted was Sabira
which to-day had 10,000 tons of steel from India destined for Pakistan. It is learnt that under
the Indo-Pakistan trade agreement export of iron and steel to Pakistan is permitted. Political
circles in West Bengal felt that an important commodity like steel should not be exported to
Pakistan at this critical stage of Indo-Pakistan relations. They, therefore, urged the
Government of India to stop export of steel to Pakistan. In West Bengal public opinion is
always for restoration of harmony and peace with East Pakistan. East Pakistan has of late
stopped export of fish to Calcutta although its economy depends continually on its trade
with West Bengal. The State Government is tightening up all measures against Pakistan.
