London, May 8.
India was no more united than Europe except with supor- ficial unity which had been created by British rule and guidance in the last, 150 years, declared Mr. Winston Churchill, when the freedom of the City of Wost- minster was conferred on him in London today. "Some voices," added Mr. Churchill, "bid us 'quit Palestine' and others 'quit India,' but surely not only Britain but all the world should consider deeply what the conse quences would be and what other arrangements can be made to safeguard millions of men and women →→ in India 400,000,000—from cruel fates which have laid Europe with all its glories in dust and now threaten China with protraction of her long torment.
