“War Or Peace”
Up To India
LINDON, OV-'The .British gov
ernment left squarly up to feud
ing H.ndu and Moslem leaders to
day the question of whether India
intends to win independence in
bloody civil war or through peace
ful negotiations by the time Bri
tain ends her reign over the rich
-jo-continent 16 months later.
Prime Minister Attlee told the
world yesterday that Britain in
lands to pull out of India by June,
I'J43, and at same Ume ap
pointed Admir_. x»rd Mountbat
.en, a great grandson of the first
British empress of India, as vice
. cy to liquidate 200 years of Brit
ish rule.
Some empire-minded conserva
tives and sections of the British
press direly predicted that a bloody
struggle for power in India would
result from Britain’s withdrawal.
Lord Templewood—Sir Samuel
Hoare before he became a peer—
presented a motion last night de
| daring that the end of British rule
‘ is likely to imperil the peace an J
prosperity of India.”
If Templewood’^ motion—which
! amounts to a vote of censure of th'?
Labor government—is pushed to a
vote, it probably will pass in the
conservative-dominated House of
Lords, but Attlee is sure of hi;
solid Labor majority in the all
important Commons, which pre
viously had voted approval of the
idea of freedom for India.
