LITTLE CHANCE
OF U.S. MILITARY HELP TO INDIA
Washington, April 23. Indications are that the United States will not be able to supply much, if any, military equipment for the Indian army within the near future evan though the Indians are ready to pay cash for such supplies.
Production shortages in the lines in which the In- dians are interested and the necessity to fill what are regarded as the more urgent European needs are the reasons for this.

CONCRETE PROPOSALS ON INDIA'S STATUS TO BE MADE TODAY
London, April 23,

Those quarters are much impressed by the warm de- sire of all the Dominions to contribute towards a solution which will retain India in the Com- monwealth "ithout prejudice to her national indopondenc..
