Britain Is Too Weak
Now 10 Rule India,
Laborite Declares
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

LONDON, Dec. ia veteran
Labor M. p, defending his party's
Indian independence policy against
Conservative and Nationalist criti-
cism, told the House Of Commons
today Britain no longer was strong
enough to rule the troubled SUBJ
continent by power politics.
"The fact of the matter is that
we in Britain cannot hold India by
power" Laborite w. G. Cove de-
clared in q debate on Indian affairs.
I'VE have not the reserve of power
in the modern world. We have lost
the command Of the sea and
America now has the biggest feet
the world has ever seen.
1.-THE greatest factor in holding
the British Empire together was sea
power, but this has slipped from us
and we have not the power to hold
the empire together on the basis Of
power politics"
Anderson Issues Warning.
Mr.. Cove, former president Of the
National Union Of Teachers and
q member Of Parliament since 1879,
entered the discussion Of the snArled
Indian independence negotiations
after Nationalist Sir John Anderson,
former governor Of Bengal, warned
against haste In British withdrawal
from India.
"A blunder of the first order" was
Sir Johns description OF the ham
ding Of the India independence plan.
Conservative LeadeF Winston
Churchill said last night he expected
civil war to result from the situation.
Asked by q Conservative whether
he intended to imply the American
fleets strength endangered Britain s
position in India, Mr.. Cove replied:
II am not saying anything Of the
kind. I am just pointing out the
stark, naked fact that this war has
resulted in a depletion Of power ~
far as Britain is concerned"
A statement from the Moslem
League is due tomorrow.
Newsmen Called to Farley.
Mahorned Ali Jinnah, League
president, invited British, American
and other news agency and news
papermen to a conference tomorrow
morning.
He has made no public statement
since he came here for the talks
with Viceroy Watell, Pandit Java
f1arlal Nehru OF the Congress Party
and Ssrdar Baldev Singh Of the
Sikhs.
He is to address the British Mos
lem League tonight, but this speech
is expected to be devoted largely to
plans for revitalizing the organiza-
ton.
India's first constituent assembly
has been going on in New Delhi
since Monday with Hindu and
small-minority delegates on hand,
despite a boycott by the Moslem
League, speaking for India's largest
minority. The British, failing last
week to get the league to join the
assembly, said they would not
recognize the proceedings if q large
section" Of the population was not
represented.
In his statement last night Mr..
Churchill told Commons. that the
Labor Government was directly re-
sponsible for thousands of lives al.
ready lost in communal violence.

 WASHINGTON, June II. = The unprecedented spectacle of one Su- preme Court Justice publicly as- sailing another stunned official Washington today, but several law makers held it might lead to re- storing what they term the Host dignity" of the tribunal.
 The bombshell which Justice Ro- bert H. Jackson exploded in his blunt attack on Justice Hugo Black projected a long-smoldering judi cial feud out into the open, and these influential lawmakers thought this could be good thing in the long run.
 Specifically, they said privately Congress may order a complete overhaul of court procedure in an effort to minimize "hickering' on and behind the Bench.
 Speculation
 At the moment, however, the capital buzzed with more immed- fate speculation over whether Jack son and Black intended to continue on the High Bench, despite virtu- al state of war between them. The situation YVES without parallel in modern court history.
 Jackson lashed out at Nuremberg last night at what he called Black s bullying" tactics. He declared his colleague had threatened him with war" unless Jackson covered up facts in the portal-to-portal mine pay case in which Blacks former law partner represented the victor lous United Mine Workers.
 Charles G. Ross, Presidential Press Secretary, declined at his daily news conference to comment on the Jackson letter. In response to a question, Ross said MT. Tru- man had not discussed the mater with Chief Justice-designate Fred M. Vinson.
