Seizure Is Denounced

GJndhl denounced the seizure of the Congress party's papers as rcprehensible. He said the pub lication of the original draft of the Congress resolution would not hurt the party's prestige in India. He sad that if America would make Britain withdraw from India, victory for the Unit ed Nations would be sure. Said Gandhi:
 T am pleading with all ear nestness that l believe that India will be freed of Britain's i'm perialism and that her great ally America will make her do so, and thus be sure of victory, no mat ter how long the struggle
 Gandhi was definite in his de- nunciation of the British rail on the Congress party's headquar- ters. He declared that he should have been consulted before the British made use of the material they seized, implying that he feels the British are attempting to picture him as an Axis ally.
 It is expected in informed guar ters that this call will be issued for the disobedience campaign in about two weeks if Britain re- jects its proposal of Indian free dom.
