 Be al Bottom

LONDON, Sept. 10. = British Prime Minister Winston Churchill today charged that widespread Jap Fifth Column activity may have been behind the All-India Congress Party's drive for immediate inde- pendence but he told the House of Commons the course of events is improving in India and lon the whole is most reasSuring."
 Churchill's review of the Indian situation laid special emphasis on the turbulent events of the past two months and their bearing on the United Nations war effort.
 The Prime Minister rejected the proposal for a vote to show whether the House of Commons approved of his statement but suggested that a .fun dress debate with vote might later be arranged.
 Churchill said ninety million Moslems fundamentally opposed Gandhis non-violence principles to which one member of Commons cried nonsense"
 Churchill also mentioned that one million Indians have volunteered for war service and 40,O00 volunteers have already enlisted.
