arrived here two months ago
However, the British government
has been resisting the move, and it
is notable that India is absent from
the list of representatives made
known today.
The council in London includes
only representatives of the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
The Australian and New Zealand
governments have made it plain in
the United States that their wish is
the existence of a major political
body which will serve always to keep
prominent in discussions about
grand strategy the Importance of
the Pacific theater as compared with
the European theater.
The Australians further want
military representation for all the
Pacific Allied belligerents on the
joint strategy council which has had
its headquarters here ever since the
departure of Prime Minister
Churchill.
The question of the seat of the
Pacific War Council has been an
awkward political problem between
Washington and London ever since
the suggestion was first raised.

Bodies Of Victims
OF Remington Plant
Blast Recovered
Explosion BIomed on
Nail Driven Into
Cartridge Primers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. March 80
The bodies of seven persons miss
ing in an explosion at the Reming-
ton Arms Co. munitions plant here
were recovered today by searchers
who said only two Of the victims,
both women, had been identified.
Operations in the packing area
shattered by the blast Saturday,
which injured 80 other persons, 10 of
them sufficiently to require hospital
ization, were resumed today.
The identified dead were Mrs.
Ellen Hanson Potts, 80. mother of
small daughter, and Miss Catherine
R. Butler, So, sister OF fireman,
who had been employed at the plant
10 years.
Company officials said in a formal
statement that a nail hammered
into a box of cartridge primers was
to blame for the terrific blast that
demolished two-story packing
house containing a large store Of
rim-fl and other ammunition.
The sabotage theory was dis
counted yesterday by an oficial
company statement which said
officials we're convinced" that the
blast originated in the packing Sec
ton of the building where military
ammunition primers were being
boxed.
These primers, the statement
said, ARE more sensitive than Ordi-
nary ammunition and despite extra
precautions taken in their packing.
it was believed that nail being
driven into one Of the boxes was

his ma jesty's government and the
constitution making body. The
treaty will cover all necessary mat
ters arising out of the complete
transfer of responsibility from
British to Indian hands; it will
make provision in accordance with
undertakings given by his majesty s
government for the protection OF
racial and religious minorities; but
it will not impose any restriction on
the power of the Indian Union to
decide in future its relationship to
other member states OF the British
Commonwealth.
Whether or not an Indian state
elects to adhere to the constitution
it will be necessary to negotiate a
revision OF its treaty arrangements
so far as this may be required in
the new situation.
The constitution making body
shall be composed as follows unless
the leaders of Indian opinion in the
principal communities agree upon
some other form before the end Of
hoStilitieS: Immediate upon the
result being known of provincial
elections which will be necessary
at the end of hostilities, the entire
membership Of the lower houses OF
provincial legislatures shall as q
single electoral college proceed to
the election of a constitution max
ing body by the system Of propor-
tional representation.
New Body Explained.
This new body shall be in number
about one-tenth Of the number of
the electoral college. Indian states
shall be invited to appoint repre-
sentatives in the same proportion to
their total population as in the case
of representatives of British India
as whole and with the same
powers as British Indian members.
During the critical period which
now faces India and until the new
constitution can be framed. his mai
esty's government must inevitably
beg the responsibility for and retain
control and direction of the defense
of India as part of their world
war effort, but the task OF organizing
to the full the military, moral and
material resources OF India must be
the responsibility of the government
of India with the cooperation of
the peoples of India.
His majesty's government desire
and invite the immediate and effec-
tive participation of leaders of the
principal sections of the Indian peo-
pie in the counsels Of their country
of the commonwealth and Of the
United Nations.
Thus they will be enabled to give
their active and constructive help in
the discharge of the task which is
vital and essential for the future
freedom of India.

NEW DELHI, March 30-The
tert OF a statement issued BY Sir
Stafford Cripps containing Brit
ish proposals to Indian leaders
tolloiUS.'
The conclusions OF the British
war cabinet set out below are those
which Sir Stafford Grips has
brought with him for discussion
with Indian leaders and the ques-
ton whether they will be imple-
mented will depend upon the out
come of those discussions which are
now taking place.
His majesty's government, hav-
ing considered anxieties expressed
in this country Great Britain and
India as to the fulfilment of these
promises made regarding the fu-
ture of India, have decided to lay
down in precise and clear terms the
steps which they propose be taken
for the earliest possible realization
of self government in India.
Object Is Set Forth.
The object is the creation OF a
new Indian union which shall con-
stitute a dominion associated with
the United Kingdom and other do
minions by common allegiance to
the crown, but equal to them in
every respect, in no way subordinate
in any aspect Of its domestic and
external affairs.
His majesty'S government there
fore makes the following declara-
ton:
(A) Immediately upon cessation
of hostilities steps will be taken to
set up in India, in a manner de-
scribed hereafter, an elected body
charged with the task of framing
a new constitution for India
(B) Provision shall be made as
set out below for participation of
Indian states in the constitution
making body.
His majesty's government under
takes to accept and implement
forthwith the institution so framed
subject only to:
Firstly. the right of any province
of British India that is not prepared
to accept the new constitution to
retain its present constitutional
position, provision being made for
its subsequent accession if it so
decided.
With such non -acceding provinces,
should they so desire, his majesty's
government will be prepared to
agree upon a new constitution CIV
ing them the same full status as
the Indian Union and arrived at by
a procedure analogous to that here
laid down.
Treaty to be Negotiated.
Secondly, the signing of treaty
