UNREST IN INDIA
BRITISH OFFER REJECTED OPPOSED TO DEMOCRACY (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) WARDHA,, Aug. 22 After a sitting lasting five days the Congress Working Committee passed the following resolution rejecting Britain’s offer of August 8: “The Viceroy’s statement is wholly opposed, not only to the principle of democracy which the British acclaim in their war aims, but also to India’s best interest. The committee calls on Indians to condemn the British attitude by holding public meetings and other methods, also by their elected representatives in the provincial legislatures.”
