But the situation is regarded as so delicate that almost it would seem by mutual consent all quarters are re- fraining from controversial comment upon them at the moment.

In

official quarters, there is complete silence. Labour Party circles welcomed with relief Pandit Nehru's acceptance of the Viceroy's in- vitation to submit proposals for the formation of an interim government as marking the end of the deadlock with all its possibilities.
