Avoid War in India
BY the A.soeiaisd Press

LONDON, Nov. 27.-An au-
thoritative Government source
said today the British cabinets
move to invite Viceroy Lord
Wavell and Indian party leaders
for consultations In London rep
resented an eleventh. hour bid to
prevent civil war in India.
He said that already the disturb-
ances in Bengal and Bihar Prov
inces amounted to civil war on q
small scale"
The informant added that the
British cabinet missions plan fol
Indian independence was considered
by the government to be at stake at
the present time and If the Congress
Party -Moslem League deadlock con-
tinued it was eprobable the plan
would be scrapped.
Cabinet Meets Tomorrow.
He declared that at the moment
no alternative plan existed, and said
that was why the British govern
ment was anxious to do everything
possible to make the meeting of the
Constituent Assembly, scheduled fol
December 8, effective and successful
The source said the cabinet would
meet tomorrow to consider the sit
uation in the light of the Indian
parties acceptance or rejection o1
the invitation.
Regardless OF reflections, Lord
Wavell will come to London before
December ! to give the cabinet a
first-hand report on the strife-torn
country.
Hope to Arrest Rioting.
The source said the cabinet had
hoped Indian acceptance Of the in
vitation would have the effect OF
arresting the developing communal
rioting, which has been worst in
Bihar and Bengal provinces.
Although he knew of no extraor-
dinary measures having been taken
to meet the potential civil war sit
uation," the informant declared
Lord Wavell had the authority to
take whatever steps he thought
necessary to quell the disturbances
So far there is no British govern
ment intention to have the Con.
stituent Assembly meeting post
poned but, as last resort, this ster
would be taken If it meant saving
the cabinet plan, the source said.
Civil War Held Under Way.
The Duke of Devenshire told 9

ances In India were "the beginning
Of one of the most hideous civil wars
In all history"

mons of the arrangements for the
London conference.
The Duke of Devonshire, former
undersecretary of state for India
said he had seen a letter from
an unnamed businessman in In
dia advising that wives of British
commercial representatives should
be evacuated.
"You have probably seen reports
In the newspapers Of what are called
riots" the high-ranking Conserya-
tive declared. "They are nothing
Of the kind. They are the beginning
of one of the most hideous civil wars
In all history"
Lord Pethwick-Lawrence. Secre-
