ACTION ON INDIA

Reynaiok Will Ask Senate “To Do Something’ About Freedom Plea.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (U. P.). —Chairman Robert R. Reynolds (D. N. C.) of the senate military affairs committee, demanding that the “yoke of British imperialism” be removed from the shoulders of India, said today that he would formally request the senate tomorrow to do something about helping India attain complete independence. He said in an inpfrview that Britain's insistence upon retaining control over India is “a direct and inexcusable contradiction of the announced policies of the United ~ States and the president of this . country as expressed in the Atlantic Charter . .. and a powerful propaganda weapon for Japan.” “Why shouldn’t India have independence when we are fighting a war for independence?” he asked. - Fighting for Liberty “The Russians are defending their communistic form of government, ‘because that is their choice. The British are fighting for retention of their king and the United States is fighting for its democratic form of government. : “That is in accord with the At-|~ lantic charter which declares that . we—the united nations—are fighting so that people the world over an--have complete freedom to ; ir own m of govern-

The United States officially has remained silent on the BritishIndia problem. Secretary of State Cordell Hull said at his press conference yesterday, however. that the United States was giving keen attention to developments in India.

UNITY OF ALLIES

Recent Conferences of

War Leaders Show

Co-operation Moves.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (U. P). —President Roosevelt believes that more efficient co-ordination and disposition of supplies and fighting

forces of the united nations must be achieved before any smashing blow can be delivered against the axis, persons who have talked with the president recently reported today. Those conferees said that Mr. Roosevelt has been particularly interested in recent weeks in perfec ing unity of united nations’ operations and that. he regards coordination of the united nations’ war effort as the key to ultimate destruction of the axis. Mr. Roosevelt believes, they said,

#8 | that fighting forces and productive facilities must be operated in asj-

near the form of a global unit as possible in order to fight with winning efficiency.

Plan for Global War

The pattern of global war by the united nations has been forming ever since this country entered the

The constant planning by united nations’ leaders in Washington, London, "Moscow and other allied capitals reflects that drive for a tight, well-organized global war effort and possibly will lead to the establishment of some form of supreme united nations’ command.

Thomas and 16 other persons have appealed to President Roosevelt to act, either alone or in conjunction with China and Russia, to end the Indian crisis by helping to establish a satisfactory provisional government and working out terms of co-operation between India and the united nations. In a radio address last night, Dr. Lin Yutang, well-known Chinese author, urged that the United States become aware that “India today is America’s problem.”

That’s nearing a 100 per cent job. But there is no let-down in its program of crime prevention through education. Operatives have been lecturing before clubs, showing motion pictures and giving courses on currency to storekeepers.

‘Know Your Money’

Now an even larger scale program is underway. Here in Indianapolis they are taking “Know Your Money” right into ,the high schools. Already plans are underway to have the civics classes study currency. Raymond A. Horton, agent in charge here, is hopeful they will reach 85 per cent cf the state’s high schools with the story. Students will learn how coins and banknotes are made; how ‘to apply simple tests to a coin and the -distinguishing characteristics of bank notes. They will be asked to take their lessons learned home to parents.
