INDIA’S STATUS
A DELTCATE STAGE “DIEHARD” TORIES HOSTILE TO PR EA HER’S PLAN (U.P.A. by Elec. Tel- Copyright.) (Received Nov; 22, 11 p.m.) . LONDON, Nov. 22. It is understood that the Indian discussions, in the last few days, have reached a very delicate stage, even within Cabinet itself. Air MacDonald’s idea of granting provincial autonomy immediately with a pledge later of responsibility at- a centre has aroused hostility among diehard Conservatives, whereof Air Churchill is the most active.
The view of this section have percolated Cabinet, leading Air AtacDonald on Friday to hint that any departure from his former declarations would involve a question of his and Lord Sankcy’s continuance in the Government.
It is- also understood that Air Sapru and other Indians have indicated that the withholding of the prospect of ultimate responsibility from a. centre would destroy all chance of federation.
