INDIA’S STATUS
NATIVE. DEMANDS
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, Jan. 5,
Earl Russell, Under Secretary for India, speaking at a Labour Party meeting yesterday, referred to the situation in India, and stated that no one knew better than the Indians themselves how very foolish was the talk of complete independence. He said that Dominion status was not possible at the moment, and it would not be for a long time. Great Britain had been guiding India along the road towards democracy. To let go suddenly would be a calamity for India. The Labour Party would not allow themselves to be turned aside from their objective by any foolish resolutions, or other forms of propaganda. They were perfectly honest in saying that their objective was self-government for India. For that they were working, but they were hindered by these foolish resolutions, wnich had been deplored by all friends of India and Britain.
