UNITED NATIONS ARBITRATION ADVOCATED.
Received -Sundav 7.30 p.m. NEW YORK, May 11. Devadas Gandhi, son of the Indian Congress leader, advocated United Nations arbitration for internal political disputes in India when the country attained independence. Gandhi acknowledged sporadic fighting might break ; out once British eontrol was reinoveci ! but he did not expect anything of the ! dimensions of the American Civil War. i There would be no cause for outside nervousness or intervention. Gandhi claimed that political differences in India in large measure were the creation j of foreign rule. A great advantage j would l>e gained if Indian political j parties would agree to refer one narrow ; issue at a time to Cnited Nations arbitration. Gandhi said the Congress Partv | would not interfere in any attempt by j the Moslems to c-reate Paiiistan. Even ' if such a state were established the I yToslems would soon see the desirability ! of reuniting with India. He added that |while in London reeently he saw signs i that the British people were disposect j to accept the inevitabilitv of Indian in- ! dependence.
