ALTHOUGH BRITAIN'S NEED FOR AIRCRAFT IN THE EUROPEAN THEATRE OF WAR IS SAID TO BE AS ACUTE `AS EVER, BRITISH AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN SENDING A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF AMERICAN-MADE BOM- BEP AND PURSUIT SHIPS TO SINGAPORE DURING THE PAST SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS, WRITES JOSEPH G. HARRI- SON, IN THE "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR.”

Information as to size of these shipments varies, but it is known that past and potential shipments amount to several hun- dred of the fast fighting craft.

Muslim Policy

MADRAS, Apr. 14 (Reuter). -Muslims would never agree to any, constitution for the whole of India providing for one gov-| ernment at the centre, declared Mr M. A. Jinnah, President of the Muslim League, speaking at the League's annual meeting,

He advocated the "establishment of completely independent states" in the north-west and eastern zones of India with full control over defence, dnance and foreign affairs."

He declared that Muslims were an independent nationality and that any attempt to get them to merge into a national and political identity with the rest of the population would be resisted.

One government nt the centra would mean Hindu communal rule.

The Muslim League's policy, he added, was to promote good will and harmony on the basis of equality, fair play and reciprocity.
