For India Plan

NEW DELHI, India. April g.
Prospects for satisfactory settlement
of the entire Indian question and
alignment of India actively in favor
of the United Nations war cause
took slight turn for the better to-
day, largely because of mediation
by Louis johnson, special envoy
from the United States.
1t was reported reliably that Mr.
johnson had created confidence
among the Indians by assurances
that the United States endorsed
Britains promise of postwar self
government for India and by stat
ing that this was Americas S war and
that Americans were confident of
winning 1t.
As a result, new formula for
handling Indias defense was re-
ported worked out today at an ALL
India Congress Party Committee
session.
Meanwhile the Working Commit
tee of the All-India Moslem Confer
ence tonight adopted resolution
declaring the British proposals un-
satisfactory in their present form.
The group said the plan must be
modified so that no province would
be permitted to remain out of the
proposed Indian union.
