BURMA AND INDIA
QUESTION OF SEPARATION RECENT VERDICT REGRETTED CALCUTTA, Dec. 1 There is a growing demand in Burma for a. fresh election, as it is widely believed that a plebiscite on the straightout issue of separation from India, now that its implications are more thoroughly understood, would reverse the recent verdict. The result of the election was: AntiSeparationists, 41; Separationists, 29; Neutrals, 9. But it is asserted that many who stood against separation admit having done so in order to force further concessions from Britain. The Anti-Separationists have refused an invitation to form a Ministry unless the right to secede at will from India is conceded. The question of separation will be the subject of a vote in the Legislative Coun- ! cil of Burma shortly.
