BRITISH FEU? STORM IN INDIA
GANDHI AND NERHU BELIEVED WORKING
TOWARD CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE STRIKE
LONDON. July — Streams of
refugees have poured into India
in recent wot ks from Burma.
The Japanese lu.vi moved their
air fields within striking distance
of Chittagong and Calcutta, the
latter a vital center for the sup
ply of Indian-manufactured arms
tc the soldiers defending the bor
der.
While the m« nace thus becom
es more formidable every day.
India’s internal polities become
more complex at almost as rapid
a rate. It is believed here a pol- 1
itical storm of great proportions
is slowly gathering in India.
Two points of view are clear
ly presented. The first is the
Indian declaration that the West
ern mind o. nnot comprehend the
philosophy of a country that ;
still insists on ruling herself af
ter more than two centuries of
dominance and still feels that she
can repel the Japanese more ef
fectively by passive resistance |
than Westerners can by arms. '
The second is that, regardless of
Congress party opinion, British
arms, strengthened by United
States supplies and manned by 1
Indian troops arc determined to
contest Japanese movements
with all the power they com
mand.
The Political War
In Indian politics Monhandas
K. Gandhi, Pandit Jowaharlai ■
N< orj and other Congress lead
ers have long been successful in
finding . basis fr m which to at
tack the Brush Government
When Sir Stafford Cripps left
suddenly, they discovered them
stives in the awkward position
of having refused the olive
branch The belief here is that
they an- now trying to justify,
themselves by provoking a set of
CiTcutti lances m which they can
g ' i approval for attacking
the “unfeeling arrogance" of the
British.
Met mwhile they have had t v*
unhappy defections. Fir.-t. C Pi
Rajagnpalachari, who had 1 *nc
been one of the stanchest Con
gress supporters and its out-stand
ing leader in the big Province of
Madras, has committed hen -y
by suggesting that all Indians j
might conj .n in a common pro
gram.
Proposing that new formula
tions might bo made, granting
Mohammed Ali Jinnah's Moslem 1
League its demands for Pakistan,
he made a strong appeal to the
Congress party to adhere to his
program for home unity. Under
the combined pressure f Mr.
Gandhi, F; ndit Nehru, Maulana
Abdul Kalam Azad, president of
the Cor.gr. ss party, he was forc
ed out of the> Congress Working
Committee.
One Recruit Unlisted
Although this was a signal de
feat for Mr. Rajagopalachari. ho
obtained one recruit to his cause
whose significance had been gen
erally overlooked. A compar
ative unknown named Indulal
Yagnik led a meeting of the All
India Peasants’ Conference into
acceptance of the statement.
“The principle of non-violent
non-cooperation is utterly futile
and a clear invitation of the Jap
anese to seize India.” It is the
bounden duty of every Indian to
defend the motherland against
Japanese aggression,said the rcso
lution.
S:r Stafford Cripps' mission
succeeded in driving a wedge
into the Congress party that has
nut yet been evaluated. Mr. Raj
agopnlachari. in adhering to the
Cripps plan, led a very strong
segment of that body. The Pea
sants' C- nt'erenee, credited with
living a purely communistic fol
i.vmg. may have driven a still
larger one.
Str..ngr things arc happening
in India. Forces that formerly
w r strongly anti-British, now
believe in an all-out war effort.
Fur example, Communist ele
ments that two years ago sup
‘fted Mr. Gandhi at every turn
. . ; nn v drawn away, leaving
\ idi open the question of how
• r his power to determine In
dian action has been weakened.
Kven Mr. Gandhi will not know
until he calls for a showdown.
