British India Mission Favors Imposed Peace
Delhi June 15 The British cabinet mission plans to announce its last word on Indian independence likely detailing an imposed peace over Congress objections to the interim government. Congress reportedly rejected parity between Hindus and Muslims, provincial grouping during transition, and European delegates in the constitutional convention. The Moslem League accepts independence terms but seeks a separate Muslim state Pakistan. Letters will be sent to Congress and Moslem League leaders outlining the plan. Lord Wavell may form a new government or ask a Congress member to name Hindu ministers to sit with Moslem nominees.
