STATUS OF INDIA
PART IN COMMONWEALTH LONDON, Nov. 20 The Secretary of State for Indio, Mr. L. S. Amery, in a speech at Manchester, said: “There could be no more typical instance of loose thinking than the clamour for what is called the application of the Atlantic Charter to India, and the protest against the Prime Minister's perfectly clear explanation that Article 3 of the charter primarly referred to the restoration of national life in Europe and, in any case, did not qualify in any way onr own declaration as to India’s future, with which it is in entire harmony.” The answer which Britain gave in August last year was no less farreaching in its scope than the Atlantic Charter, and far more definite in the procedure envisaged and the pledge involved. It defined as the proclaimed and accepted goal that free and equal partnership in the British Commonwealth which was usually referred to as Dominion status.
