Reuter's Political Correspondent

London, May 30. Britain, when Indian leaders meet with the Viceroy at New Delhi on Monday, will make her position clear to India and the whole world, when, presumably for the last time, she commends the Cabinet Mission's scheme for a settlement in securing the essential unity of the country.

But, although Mahatma Gandhi's espousal of the plan and Congress Socialist support have aroused some hope of a last-minute resurgence of interest, few prophets at this late stage are bold enough to predict acceptance of the Mission formula.

It is the conviction of observers, moreover, that Britain now feels the situation is so urgent and the possibility of deterioration so great that no protracted re-examination of the Mission scheme is possible.
