ON MAIN POINTS

AGREEMENT REPORTED SIR S. CRIPPS AND CONGRESS LEADERS. INDIAN DEFENCE FORMULA. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) NEW DELHI, April 9. A general understanding on main points between the Congress leaders and Sir Stafford Cripps has as good as been reached and it can be definitely stated that as far as the Congress Farty is concerned there will be no difficulty or delay in the establishment of a National Government. The agreement on the defence formula is believed to provide that General Wavell shall be Supreme Commander, under the War Cabinet, and that there shall be an Indian Defence Minister, responsible to the National Government, who will have the authority of a Secretary for War as this authority is understood in Australia or the United States. Sir Stafford Cripps and Colonel Louis Johnson (President Roosevelt’s envoy) are believed to be anxious that Pandit Nehru should become Defence Minister. Sir Stafford Cripps is expected to make an announcement tomorrow regarding the outcome of his mission.
