The Hague, Jan. 20. WHEN Prince Bernhard

and Princess Juliana end their honeymoon, Prince | Bernhard will go back to work in his little office in Amsterdam.

There he will continue his studies of economic and business relations between Holland and the Dutch East Indies.

An official of the firm which employs him, the Netherlands Trading Society, said to me:

"Prince Bernhard approached one of our directors some time ago, and said that he hoped his

Prince Bernhard has been employ- ed for some time with this firm. He has no ometal position, but is paid a nominal salary. At his own request that salary was the same as that of the clerks in the office.

Leader of this opposition is Jawaharlal Nehru— Harrow and Cambridge-elected a few days ago Congress President for the third time.

Nehru, specially interviewed by Edward Thompson, the well-known authority on India, declares that "the Con- stitution is bound to fail," and that "the British Army must go."

"WE MUST CUT LOOSE"

BY EDWARD THOMPSON

IN my reading of his character, Nehru is not primarily interested in

making India "independent" of the Empire.

!

If he believed the Empire were really a family of equal nations, whose individual members had a "fair show," he would be willing that India should be one of these nations.

But he thinks that vested interests have us by the throat, and that our own snobbery and brainlessness complete India's subjection, so that there can be no freedom for India until she is cut loose from all connection with us.

I rive below my talk with Nehru in the form of question and
