Partition

BOMBAY, India, Aug. II -
lP)- Mohandas X. Gandhi and
Mahomed Ali Jinnah, two OF
midas foremost political lead
ers, will meet Saturday TO dis
cuss a proposal to partition In
ola into separte autonomous
Hindu and Moslem states.
Observers say their confer
ence, the first in five years, may
turn out to be the most import
ant event in the last two ccntur-
les Of Indian history.
The conference is believed
unlikely TO produce solution
OF the Hindu Moslem problem IN
detail But il may result in a
treaty" setting forth the broad
principles for division of the
country. 1t is expected such a
treaty would be endorsed by
Gandhi's all-India Congress par
ty and the Moslem League Of
which Jinnah is president.
Jinnah is known 10 want a
separate Moslem State which
would be completely autono-
nous and control its own de-
Tense, finances and communica-
tons just like any other SOW
ereign state.
Jinnah's demands go beyond
what Gandhi already has said
he is prepared TO offer. The Con-
gress party leader recently vir-
tually conceded the partition
principle, but suggested that
small districts in which Mos
lens predominant should be de-
fined and should vote on wheth-
er they want a divided or
undivided India.
Gandhi's prime object in APP
preaching Jinnah is to secure
his cooperation in the formation
of a coalition government to re-
place Immediately the present
central government. G ndhi
wants a composite government
at once composed of the Con-
gress party, the Moslem League
and perhaps other minorities.
This government, according
to Gandhi, should be response
bic not to the present Viceroy,
Lord Wavell, but to the Central
legislature. He will, however,
leave the management of the
war to the Viceroy and to In.
dia's commander-in-chief, Gen.
Sir Claude Auchinleck.

Stocks, accompanied by bonds,
stumbled today one of their most
substantial relapses on active
dealings since early November as
selling urgency appeared in the
wake of revived nervousness over
possibly imminent European war
developments.
The share division opened rela-
lively steady but prices soon be-
gan to wilt as the British action
in virtually quarantining all neu-
trail diplomats brought the conclu-
sion that the long-awaited invas-
ion of the continent night be in
the offing. Holders of securities be-
gan to tighten commitments to be
on the safe side in the event the
forthcoming push might turn out
to be real unsettling trend factor
Notwithstanding is long-pull bull
sh effect
Dealings picked up briskly as
accounts were shelved. Losses ran
to or more points at the worst.
There was a showdown at the start
of the final hour and extreme set
backs were shaded in many cases.
Activity expanded toward the last
and many issues were at the lows
of the day when the closing gong
sounded.

Early Requests For
Service Ballots Urged

Members of servicemen's fami-
lies must request as soon as pos
sible that absentee ballots be mail
ed to the men and women in the
armed services entitled to vote, or
the long distance voting will be
impossible, H. G. Carney, chair
man of the New Hanover County
Board of Elections, warned yes
terday.
Brothers, sisters, mothers
fathers, and children of the service
persons are entitled to file appli-
cation for their kin to receive the
absentee ballots providing the
servicemen are eligible to vote
in New Hanover county by virtue
of residence, age, and other con-
siderations.
Mr.. Carney declared that mail
ing the ballots to the fighting
fronts of the world would require
considerable time, and that appli-
cations must thus be filed inn
mediately.

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, April 49, Up -
Small lots of print cloths and
sheetings were sold for nearby de-
livery in the cotton textile market
today, but mills generally were
held on the sidelines.
The wool goods market was un-
settled pending Qualification of the
expected WPB directive on produc-
ton and prices. There was strong
replacement demand from the
trade but mills confirmed little new
business in anticipation of further
military orders.
Small allotments were sold tt
regular customers in the rayor
goods market.
