THE BURMA ROAD.
GLOSING, A DIPLOMATIC MOVE
OPINION OF A MISSIONARY The closing of the Burma Road for a period by the British. Government seemed to be a diplomatic move, said the Rev. M. J. Bade speaking to a “Guardian” reporter this morning. For the last three years 'Mr Bade has been in charge of mission work in the small Indian State of Tripura, almost on the border of Burma. “The road is new and is made of earth,” said Mr Eade, “and its use in the rainy season, which was when the road was closed, is practically nil.” ' Everyone in India was anti-Hitler, Mr Eade added, and although there was some agitation for independence India was making a great war effort by supplying Britain with munitions and other important materials.
