FUTURE OF BURMA
STATEMENT BY SIR SAMUEL HOARE.
British Official Wireless RUGBY, March 26.
Replying to Parliamentary questions regarding Burma, Sir Samuel Hoare (Secretary of State for India) pointed out that the question of that country’s separation from India was a matter which awaited the recommendations of the Joint Select Committee, and the decision of Parliament. He anticipated that if the decision was for separation, Parliament would find it necessary to arrange that it entailed no sudden or serious dislocation of the close trade connection with India, on which Burma’s prosperity at present largely depended, but to do so with the least possible limitation of Burma’s freedom, and to establish trade relations with other countries upon a basis consistent with the interest of Burma herself rather than with those of India, as at present.
