DEFENCE OF INDIA
CO-OPERATION WITH BRITAIN URGED
(Rec. 8 p.m.) MADRAS, Feb. 2. Dr Varadarajulu Naidu, secretary of the All-India Hindu Mahasabha, in a speech declared that the Mahasabha's policy is unconditional co-operation with Britain in defending India against foreign aggression and internal disorder. It would be suicidal to talk of independence as a condition of Indian aid to Britain's war effort. Mr Munghy, a former Congress Minister, addressing a Hindustan conference at New Delhi, said that territorial integrity, continuity of institutional life and the freedom of India were bound up with victory for the democracies. The Congress should form a Coalition Government pledged to a war effort in the provinces or get out and allow others to do so.
