BRITISH IN INDIA
COMPLETE REMOVAL URGED PARIS. Sept. 28. The use of British and American troops, fighting side by side with the Japanese to suppress national movements in territories liberated from the Japanese was deplored by the secretary of the All-India T.U.C., Mr S. A. Lange, in a speech at the World Trades Union Congress. “If these independent territories are not given a free status, then 1.200,000,000 people will build up a serious resistance movement.” Referring to the argument and disagreements which might follow if people were permitted to reconstruct their own countries as they wished, Mr Lange said that if negroes and Americans quarrelled in New York, the British did not send battleships to take possession of the city. He urged that the working class throughout the world should press for the removal of the British from India, the Dutch from Java, and the French from Annam.
