Line on Racial Division Recedes The Crass Inconsistency Of Kennedy,Bella Abzug By ROBERTS. ALLEN WASHINGTON — Consistency may be a jewel, but it’s an exceptional commodity among most politicos—particularly the selfrighteous radical-liberal variety. Two clangorous examples of such artful rectitude ar Sen. Kdward Kennedy, D.-Mass., and Rep. Bella Abzug, D.-N.Y. Whether due to unctuous fervor, dious selfdelusion or sanctimonious opportunism and demagoguery,they seem utterly impervious to reason and logicin espousing some militant cause or policy. They glibly and blandly pursue directly divergent courses without a holiereye. They oe no awareness of crass inconsistency ly castigating somethi or other, and in the next breath ety advocating the very same thing. While Kennedy and Mrs. Abzug differ widely in origin, background andsocial and economic status, they are like peas in a pod in Example: High on Sen. Kennedy’s crusading list is scathing denunciation of the Vietnam war and vehement demandfor the Teddy Kennedy somehow is utterly oblivious to this historic fact. Rising Above Principle Instead, he virtuously declaims frequently an rancorously about in Viet- namese affairs, the sinfulness of doing that and the moral obligation to stop it forthwith. As unctuously proclairned by Teddy, intervening in Vietnam to save millions from Communist ensalvement is immoral, unethical,sinful, etc. ete. We should keep out of the affairs of other peoples and countries, and firmly and sternly mind our own business. Avery sound principle, indeed! But having sanctimoniously preached it, Teddy turned right around and haughtily stuck his nose in Trish affairs.

Not only was his unt ted eddling grossly inconsistentwith his pious strictures US. m in Vietnam, but it was outright irresponsible statesmanship and crass hy es The only conceivable explanation for this shockingly outrageous conduct is that it is “good politics” in his home state—with a it '>ish constituency. Kennedys are noted f@ the facility and ease with which they rise above principle. Within the next three weeks President Nixon suspended all new licenses and stopped the shipmentofall military supplies out of American depots, and all other supplies under U.S. government control. That was $35 million in arms. The onlyarms that continued to Pakistan were $4 to $5 million on old licenses already in commercial chan nels. The United States has made no new economic development loans to Pakistan since March, 1971 Mr. Nixon committed $90 million for the support of refugees in India. At the specific request of the Indian government, which was concerned that there would be another major outflow of refugees which would make their problem totally unmanageable, the United States committed another $150 million to avert famine in East Pakistan. With Pakistani concurrence, this was distributed through international agencies to avert suspicion that these supplies might be used to strengthen Islamabad’s authority. This was more than was contributed bythe rest of the world combined. In additicn, Mr. Nixon requested from Congress, in the , t Paul Harvey sues dup “EAN 7 The WomenJust ‘Think’ They WantEqualRights Agency for International Development budget, an additional $250 million to continue this aid. All this adds up to more than a half-billion dollars for relief of meligees to ease suffering in India and to prevent more refugees from cominginto India. . In July in NewDelhi, a Nixon representative explained to Indian Prime Minister Gandhi and Foreign Minister Swayan Singh that this country would not be making public statements on the situation because we wanted to use ourinfluence through diplomacy. These two top Indian officials indicated they understood the U.S. decision. They made no criticism of it Theydid criticize the arms shipments mentioned above.
