NEW YORK. Aug. THE peo-
pie of India are not pro-Japan
and VIII resist the emblaZonment
of the Rising Sun over their land
IL given encouragement by Eng
land and the United States, Sidar
!. J. Singh said today.
Singh, president of the India
League Of America, spoke with
great feeling during an interview
at his modest office here
He Is alarmed by the greater
East Asia prosperity sphere Just
announced by Japan, he frankly
confessed. II must be combated
and at once, he said.
HAS NO VOICE
But India, under present Brit
ism policy. has no voice and can
do little 10 fight her japanese
sGCreSSorS.
Let me emphasize that India
is in no sense pro-Japan," he
SAID "The record is clear on
that
The Indians oppose aggres-
sion because they have suffered
from aggression for 200 years.
Therefore they want to fight
against Japan, which Is an ag-
gressor nation. but we cannot
underestimate the insidiOus and
poisonous propaganda that
Japan is directing toward India
through one of midas own
sons. Subhas Chandra Bose. He
Is known as one of the five
most influential men In India,
and he Is eXerting all his influ-
ence 10 arraign India against
the United Nations.
"He Is man of fiery nature
and looked up 10 by many Of
the young men of India. He
Is n great orator and leader and
can easily arouse mass hysteria.
"In the present bitter, down
hearted and frustrated state of
mind OF the people Of India,
there are some sections OF the
Indian people who are likely 10

ganda."
CRITICIZES BRITAIN
While the British government
tieS the hands Of great Indian
leaders who are loyal 10
the western worid-to democracy
and stills their voices by throw
ing them in Jail, Japan creates the
impression that she is for a
Free India"
Against this clever and well or
gained program what is being
done by our Side7
Instead OF meeting this bar
rage OF powerful propaganda"
Singh said. "tbe British are al
lowing conditions In India which
are intOlerable. Can the voice
Of the Niceroy Of India counter
act the effect OF Bosses voice
"Can the mastery use of the
English language by Premier
Churchill reach the masses Of
India against what Bose Is say
ing 10 them every day In their
own language? No.
But there n man in India
who can destroy the influence
and tear into bits all the talks
and preachings of Bose and
TOTO. And that man is Nehru!
One word from him and months
OF propaganda by the japanese
can be wiped out.
But where Is Nehru: He's
In Jail I'm India under orders Of
the British. his voice stilled, as
