APPEAL TO LOVERS OF FREEDOM
An appeal to every true lover of the country to bend his whole energies for the strengthening of India's defence and equipping all soldiers fighting India's battles, was made by the Maha- raja of Mysore inaugurat- ing the Joint Session of the Mysore Legislatures yesterday afternoon.
The Maharaja ṣaid: "Let our watchword be economy and pro- duction in every possib'e direc- tion, most of all in those that help India to play a full part in the war."
The Maharaja referred to the enormous sacrifices which were being made in other parts of the world to save civilisation,
He said the forces of destruc- tion have been let loose. It looked as though those ...who released them had lost control over the consequences of their recklessness! |
All human effort and safety was jeopardised to a degree unknown in history.
No lover of human freedom and ordered ... progress, or patriot, seeking India's safety and happi- ness could afford in the hour of Imminent peril to exaggerate the importance of local" questions or fail to do all that lay in their power to achieve the victorý for collective and individual effort Reuter.
