INDIA'S EFFORT.
RAISING OF FORCES. Developing War Capacity To The Full. NEED FOR EQUIPMENT. British Official Wireless. (Received 2 p.m.) RUGBY, June 20. Mr. L. S. Amery, Secretary for India, gave an assurance to the House of Commons this afternoon that the Government of India is no less anxious than he is to develop India's war capacity to the full. He referred to a statement broadcast by the Commander-in-Chief of India in May, in which the latter gave details of measures being taken by the Government of India to raise and equip the forces to India's maximum capacity, and also to expand her industrial and productive output to provide, war material and necessaries for use both in India and overseas. The Minister added: "It must be remembered that in India, as elsewhere, the development of resources in manpower is conditioned bv the supply of equipment. With a view to making the best use of those resources, the Government of India and I are exploring every method of expediting the supply both of equipment and of means of producing it. "We are pressing forward with our efforts to the utmost extent that is possible without hindering the supply of essential equipment required for inimediate use elsewhere in the present emergency."
