"LEAVE INDIA" PLAN
PRECIPITATING CONFLICT
British Official Wireless. Rec. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, July 23. According to a New Delhi message a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, speaking of the Congress Working Committee's "Leave India" resolution, said he did not understand how the situation had changed materially since 1940 to justify the resolution. In 1940 Congress had pledged a non-embarrassment policy, but now Congress leaders were precipitating open conflict with the British Government. Indian constitutional rights had unproved since Sir Stafford Cripps' mission. On the other hand, the war situation had become more critical. If the "Leave India'' policy were seriously and vigorously pursued it would be bound to impede the war effort and bring anarchism in its trail. India could not fight the Axis alone, and the best way to secure the goodwill of the United Nations was not by threatening to force the issue.
