INDIAN ARMY STOPS LEAVE: NERVE WAR WITH PAKISTAN
(10 a.m.) LONDON, March 11. All Army leave has been cancelled in India and unit commanders have been ordered not to leave their stations, says the Daily Telegraph's correspondent in New Delhi. This is the latest development in the war of nerves between India and Pakistan. Tension has been increasing over the communal riots although, according to the latest reports, the situation has considerably eased. Pressure on Mr. Nehru to adopt a firm attitude towards Pakistan continues. There is open talk of a possible conflict. The Times correspondent in New Delhi says that Mr. Nehru’s return from Calcutta focussed attention on the difficult Bengal problem. The gravity of India’s view of the situation that developed is apparent from Mr. Nehru’s decision to return to Calcutta on March 14.
The relieving feature of an otherwise dark and depressing picture is the improved tone of the extremist press on both sides of the border, notably a section of the Pakistani press whose attacks on Mr. Nehru and India have lately exceeded in virulence almost anything of the sort since the partition.
