SITUATION IN INDIA
CHURCHMEN CONCERNED Rec. 11 a.m. RUGBY, May 17. A deputation from the British Council of Churches, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, today presented to Mr. L. S. Amery a resolution expressing the council's "great concern at the political deadlock in India, and at the growing alienation and distrust between the Indian and British peoples. "It welcomes the reiteration by the Viceroy in a recent speech to the India Legislature of the promise of complete self-government for India. It urges that, despite all difficulties, the Government should provide facilities for renewed consultation between the leaders of all the Indian parties even while some are still interned, believing this is a necessary condition of any real progress towards a settlement." Mr. Amery, in reply, dealt fully with the present situation in India and expressed appreciation of the opportunity for an exchange of views with the council.—B.O.W.
