INDIAN AIMS
• — STATEMENT BY PANDIT NEHRU. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) NEW DELHI, February 16. Pandit Nehru, in an interview, replying to a question as to whether General Chiang Kai-shek’s visit would cause India’s political parties to pull more closely with the Government, said the inferences some quarters were drawing from General Chiang Kai-shek’s visit were entirely unjustified. There was no solution to the Indian problem except the full transfer of power to national hands responsible to the people. Two elements pulling the different directions obviously could not share that power. It was patent that a free national government would be intensely interested in the rapid development of Indian industry. India had enormous resources, scientific ability and industrial and financial competence. A national government would harness this tremendous energy and ability, which would make a vast difference in Indian production both for war and post-war purposes.
