WANT WAR

React Violently

To Hyderabad Invasion

Karachi, Sept. 14.-Masses of demonstra- tors marched to the Prime Minister's residence on Monday and demanded that Pakistan de- clare war on India because of the Hyderabad invasion.

At least five demonstrations and processions were counted on the main streets. The Moslems shouted "Long Live the Nizam" and "Do Away With the Indian Union." The Dominion of India has been demanding that Hyderabad join the Indian Union.

A large public meeting pledged fullest support to the Nizam and condemned India's action.--Associated Press.
