The four point statement empha-
sized that the sole purpose Of these
American forces in India is to carry
on the war against the Axis, and
that the primary aim" OF the
United States in that area Is to help
China.
1t is emphasized that the Ameri-
can forces are not to indulge even
slightly In other activities, unless
India should be attacked by the
Axis, "in which event American
troops would aid In defending
India"
The Americans have been ordered
to exercise scrupulous care" to
avoid involvement in the internal
conflict, and have been warned to
resort to defensive measures only
when the safety of Americans or the
protection of American military
equipment Is involved.
Should the violence in India get
completely out of hand. events might
precipitate Americans into situations
where even "scrupulous care" and a
purely defensive attitude might not
save them from involvement.
BY clearly stating the American
policy which must guide the be-
havior Of American forces in India,
the United States repudiates Axis
inspired suggestions as to how they
might be used and renews its assur-
ance to the Chinese that aid will
continue to flow to them via India.
There have been suggestions from
Gandhi followers that American
troops In India might be used to
help the British oppose their free
