SIR STAFFORD CRIPPs
FAILED ON INDIAN MISSION

SIR STAFFORD CRIPPS
FAILED ON INDIAN MISSION
The failure Of Sir Stafford
Cripps to solve The Indian Prob
lem" was not due to any fault On
his part. He was limited by the
British Government, which talked
democracy. but had none to give
n the Indian People And unless
China and India give the support
of the teeming millions they have,
Great Britain will not have Any
democracy for herself outside the
British Isles
Il seems to US, that nothwitn-
standing the fact that Great Brit
ain has ten billions Of dollars in
vested il India. she would have
known that the only way to have
won an all-out support of the In
dian People was by an unequivo--
cal declaration Of LIBERTY FOR
INDIA NOW. That It was hOt
done indicates that white men in
Britain do not yet realize the ex-
tent to which Japan mas used the
Color Question in the furtherance
Of its battle OF Asia for the Asiat-
ics".
First, Hing Kong, then 1nd0-
China. and ThaiIand. then Malaya,
then Singapore. then the Dutch
East Indies and now Burma Next
almost surely viii be India, maybe
Australia
In the face Of the failure Of
Great Britain to defend the places
named. India, apparently, doubt
ed the ability Of Great Britain to
defend India
Sir Stafford Cripps must have
bee navarro Of this sentiment ar
ong all classes Of Indians, nut
there was little he could do about
It.
Our hope is that the Indian p-o-
.sIe viii meet and defeat the Jap
cAse invader and win their own
eedom. We have the same hope
fir China and Africa. We hope,
Ito, that the freedom we cherish
will finally be extended to the Col
ored People Of the United States.
