...believes that any solution must be worked out by the Pakistanis and the rebels, and that if mediation is necessary, it should come from a neutral entity like the U.N. Nor does the Administration have any intention of getting militarily embroiled, even though Pakistan has bilateral and multilateral (SEATO and CENTO) alliances with the U.S. The defense treaties, officials emphasized, are directed only against Communist aggression...
...nonaggression treaty calls for economic, scientific and technological cooperation. Unlike the NATO pact, it does not commit either nation to an armed response in the event of an attack on the other. Western diplomats said its wording compared more with the CENTO and SEATO treaties. It is only the second of its kind between Moscow and any world capital outside the Communist camp, the other being a 15-year treaty signed with Egypt...
...food shipments; the Soviets, who rank fifth among India's patrons over nearly two decades, got far more mileage with high-visibility projects such as steel mills. At the same time, the U.S. has given an estimated $1 billion in military assistance to Pakistan, a member of the SEATO and CENTO alliances.

Working at the SEATO Cholera Research Laboratory in Dacca, the doctors vastly improved the usual treatment. This involves massive intravenous infusions of water and salts to replace the victim's body fluids and prevent dehydration.

It relies on large oral doses of a solution whose ingredients-salts, baking soda and glucose-can be purchased cheaply in any village market. Patients in reasonably good condition simply consume about 21 qt. of the mixture; those who have reached the stage of intestinal collapse are first built up with a brief...
Without cooperation from its neighbors, Cambodia is "just like Laos," said a longtime SEATO observer. "Lon Nol will survive if the Communists let him." With help, the odds could change drastically. As a White House official noted last week, there are 30 million Thais, 17 million South Vietnamese and 7,000,000 Cambodians; that collective force faces 20 million North Vietnamese who already are fighting in two other places and who are at the end of a 600-mile supply line. So far, however, those figures have not added up to much help for Cambodia in its struggle for survival...
