Britain to Transfer Indian Power Amid Partition Debate
London June 3 The British government said it will transfer power in India to Indians almost immediately and let them choose one or two self governing governments. Legislation will set a dominion status basis for an agreed transfer this year, with a July 1948 absolute withdrawal. Attlee, Mountbatten and a white paper described the plan as temporarily acceptable, while Churchill warned of a potential blood bath and supported dominion status in either united India or partition into Pakistan and Hindustan. The Mosley league claimed to represent 90 million Indians and the Congress party spoke for about 300 million.
