FUTURE OF INDIA
BRITAIN SHOULD DECIDE CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright.)/ (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 21. • The British Labour Government should decide India’s constitutional issues and not leave the decision to aminority of enfranchised few; said Mr. V. B. Karnik, secretary of the Indian" Federation of Labour at a Press conference in London. v
Mr Karnik argued that the disagreement between Congress and the Moslem League was likely to continue and even become more embittered after the elections. India needed a democratic constitution evolved by consultation with all Indians. There was a danger of the upper classes assuming a narrow nationalistic control over India unless Britain worked for a democratic socialist solution of the problem. - \
