Outlined In Speech By Mr. Churchill

Retention Of Controls

Manchester, Dec. 6. Britain's wartime leader, Mr. Winston Churchill, told a large audience here today that "half the British soldiers kept in Palestine under con- ditions of intolerable provocation would, if they had been stationed in India, have enabled the transfer of power and responsibility from British to Indian hands to have been made in a gradual and orderly manner.

"It would have averted a slaughter of at least a quarter of a million Hindus and Moslems in a series of hideous massacres the like of which has never stained the British Empire in all its history."
