struggling for the right of self-de-
termination but to give them active
support is conceded by the promises OF
our associates in the great war and
sealed by the blood of our soldiers.
Accordingly we send our sympathy
to the people of India, and our assur-
ance that we will do all we may to
promote the success of their struggle"
