IF BRITAIN LETS GO
CALAMITY PREDICTED FOR INDIA NOT RIPE FOR INDEPENDENCE Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Sunday. 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 Dominion status was not possible at the moment, and would not be for a long time. Great Britain had been guiding India along the road toward democracy. To let go suddenly would be a calamity for India. The Labour Party would not allow itself to be turned aside from its objective by foolish resolutions or other forms of propaganda. Members of the party were perfectly honest in saying that their objective was self-government in India. For that they were working, but they were hindered by these foolish resolutions which had been deplored by all friends of India in Britain.
