Effect on Indian Army's
Morale Is Feared

NEW YORK, Sept. IL (P).-J. ].
Singh, president of the India
League of America, expressed be-
lief today that if tension over Brit
ish-Indian problems was allowed to
continue "the morale of the Indian
Army is bound to be affected"
"I shall not be surprised if de-
fections take place in the Indian
Army" Singh declared in a state
ment commenting on Prime Min
lister Churchill's recent declaration
regarding India.
Singh said he found it very pc
euliar" that when the British gov
eminent came into conflict with
the Indian Congress party, the par
ty was represented by the British
as having no following He said
this was what Mr.. Churchill had
suggested.
And yet the facts are that when
ever any negotiations are contem-
plated, it is with the Congress party
that the negotiations are started,
he said.
"Sir Stafford Cripps himself stat
ed that reason his mission failed
was because the Congress party, the
largest and most powerful politica,
party in India, did not accept his
terms"
Under normal circumstances
Singh said, the Indian question
would be OF concern only to In.
dians and the British, but with 8

soldiers are already in India"

GUADALCANAL, Aug. 10 De-
layed One of the most determined
and effective patrol actions yet at
tempted against the Japanese forces
remaining on Guadalcanal has Just
been completed.
Col. w. j. Whaling of Washington,
D. c., directed the action in which
several companies of marines drove
down on Japanese concentration
points and inflicted heavy losses on
the enemy.
Plan of Attack Given.
The plan of attack was as fol-
lows:
Company x, commanded by Capt.
William L. Hawkins of Bridgeport,
Conn, moved along the beach road
that leads from Kukum.
Company Y, commanded by Capt.
B. w. Hardy, jr., of Toledo, Ohio,
was transported in boats to the Jap
camp, Col. Whaling accompanied
this group.
Company z, under Capt Lyman
Spurlock of Lincoln, Neb., pene-
trated deep into the jungle and as
saulted the fortified enemy positions.
Company z made the main con-
tact and wiped out the Jap forces.
Other companies helped make the
action a success by keeping the Jap
troops occupied until Capt. Spur
locks men had maneuvered into
attacking positions The attack was
scheduled for this morning, but Com
pany 2 had its first action late yes
terday when it came upon a Jap
patrol in the jungle. Six japanese
were killed in the encounter. There
were no marine casualties.
Enemy Camoufiage Clever.
According to plan, an intensive
artillery barrage was laid down on
the japanese camp to soften things
| up for the attackers. Shortly, the
barrage lifted and Company X
moved from its overnight bivouac
to the Jap right flank

Roosevelt Mediation
OF Indian Dispute
Urged by StraboIgi
British Labor Peer
Fears Repetition of
DebocIe. in Burmu
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 12.-Indian pro-
posals that President Roosevelt be
invited to mediate the troublesome
Indian problem found echo In
Britain today, now that the way to
direct negotiation apparently has
been closed by Prime Minister
Churchill's sharp criticism of the
congress disobedience campaign.
I'VE should swallow our pride and
invite the President of the United
States to arbitrate, on India" the
labor peer. Lord Strabolgi, said in
an address at Basingstoke.
He took cognizance of Mr..
Churchill's suggestion that a jap
anese fifth column might be work
ing in India by telling labor party
members:
IF ear repetition of what hap
pened in Burma where important
elements turned to the japanese
after being rebuffed in London"
Lord Winster. another laborite,
spoke at Cardiff criticizing Mr..
Churchill's Statments, saving:
THE time has long since gone
by to talk about India in the tone
of a cavalry subaltern of the l870s. "
Firm Stand Advocated.
In line with other laborites, how
ever. Lord Winster declared that
this is mo time FOR wavering or
weakness"
"The Government must be sup
ported in acting firmly against the
threat of Japanese invasion" he
said.
This labor attitude was evidenced
yesterday at Blackpool at the Trades
Union Congress when a member
called the Churchill statement pro-
vocative. but Sir Walter Citrine re-
torted that the handing of self
government to India would cause
such internal strife that the Japa-
nese would be able to walk in THE
trades group refused to go further
into the matter.
The suggestion that Mr.. Roose-
velt mediate was made by Svama-
prased Mookerjee, leader of the
Hindu Mahasabha, who obtained the
agreement of that minority party
and the Moslem and Sikh minority
groups in a campaign for independ-
ence now and settlement of the con-
troversies after the war.
Arbitra ton by Mr.. Roosevelt also
was proposed by committee of In
dian congressman in Britain, which
announced that such an appeal had
been sent via the American En-
bassy.
Indian Press Critical.
The Indian press generally was
critical Of Mr.. Churchill's remarks.
The Bombay Sentinel asserted that
he put the lid on hopes of New Delhi
optimists that he would open the
way for negotiations.
The Sind Observer at Karachi said
the Prime Minister'S statement had
given more encouragement to the
enemy"
The Lucknow Pioneer. however,
praised Mr.. Churchill, saying:
THE Prime Minister would be
untrue to himself had he minced
words in dealing with the party that
had proclaimed its preparedness to
throw India into the ferment of
communal feuds."
The British-owned Civil and Mill
tary Gazette of Lahore called the
Churchill statement little short of
calamitous" and said that India
asked for bread and has been given
q stone"
