It would be hard to devise a more stupid policy or one better calcu- lated to destroy confidence

But foily in Whitehall does not excuse folly in India. And it is an Indian folly which in providing Whitehall with just the excuse it wants for doing nothing.

Moslem League, between Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah.

That way seems to get no- where. Is it not time for the Indian leaders to try another method? For the questions "demand a solution."

Suppose that Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah stood aside for a bit and let others try?

Suppose that Congress on the one hand, the Moslem League on the other, failing in direct negotiation, agreed to go to arbitration, and to accept the result?

Would it not be possible to set up a tribunal which bath would accept?

A Hindu - judge of eminence chosen by Congress. A Moslem Judge of eminence chosen by the League. And a chairman of equal standing chosen by these two- preferably neither from India nor from Britain, but from one of the Dominions?

Here, it seems to me, la a way to break the deadlock, to get a sölu- tion which would probably not be all that other side would desire, but which should be one that both sides could accept as a just and honourable compromise.

Something of this kind must be donc. Somehow the deadlock has to be broken by bringing in a third party to help,

Else deadlock will go on in India. Whitehall will use the pretext for doing nothing. · A great oppor· tunity will be thrown away, and we shall drift back through trouble to new disaster.

Procrastination is India's great- est danger. I commend that sen- tence of Burke's not only to Lord Zetland, but to the Indian leaders as well.

SIXTEEN years ago when Hugh Dalton first entered

the House of Commons his chief motive was to prevent a war ever breaking out again, War, he believed, was not inevitable, could be prevented. And politics was the instru ment of prevention.
