India Hostile To Hitlerism
Translate Sentiment Into Action-“Times"
LONDON, June 3 (Reuter).—i "The Indian nation is hostile to Hitlerism and all that it stands for. The present possibility that the war may spread to the Medi terranean emphasises the need for translating that hostility into action." says the "Times."
