OPINION IN INDIA
Dangers Of "Britain Must
Quit" Policy
United Press Association.—Copyright. Rec. 11 a.m. BOMBAY, July 24.
Prominent leaders of the All-India Congress party have begun touring the country explaining the party's Wardha resolution to the effect that Britain must get out of India. A number of provincial committees have passed resolutions supporting the movement. The Delhi committee called on all branches to carry the message of freedom to every home, and expressed the hope that Indian patriots would hold themselves in readiness to respond to the country's call.
Sir Bijoy Roy, president of the Indian Liberal Federation, speaking at New Delhi, declared that the Congress party's "Britain must quit" movement was a sheer invitation to Japan to attack India. He added: "This is not the time to embarrass friends but to resist enemies."
The Congress decision has not only shocked the United Nations but has created misgivings among a large section of the Indian public.
