Roosevelt tried among other things to tap the vast reservoir of manpower in India, where the British have an army 2,000,000 men, chiefly engaged in preventing Indian revolt. But when the late President suggested that political conditions in India be improved in order to give the “Indian Army an incentive to fight, Churchill banged on the table and proclaimed that India was part of the British Empire. INDIAN MERC ARY ARMY Roosevelt had before him a con- fidential report from his per: ambassador, William Phillip: the Indian Army is* purely mer- cenary. “Gen. Stilwell has expressed to me hi$ concern over the situa- tion,” Phillips said, “and in par- ticular in regard to the poor morale of the Indian offic The atti- tude of the general public toward the war is even worse. “It is not right,” Ambassador Phillips concluded, “for the British to say ‘This is none of your busi- ness’ when we alone presumably will have the major part to play in the future struggle with Japan.” Later the British denied that the Indian Army was mercenary and lacked the will to fight. But U. S. military advisers point to the fol- lowing significant fact. It required the Japanese three months to take that | s, Singapore, all Malaya and all Burma. In contrast, it has now been two years since Churchill an- nounced at Quebec in July 1943 that Lord Louis Mountbatten would command the campaign to retake Burma. In those two years, Burma | has not yet been cleaned out and Singapore is a long way from being in British hands In other words, the British In- dian Army with a total of around 2,000,000 men including reserves has not yet accomplished in two years what a Japanese army of | under 300,000 men accomplished in three months This leads U. S, to the conclusion well’s description Ipdian Army is cerrect. It also 5 them to the conclusion that Truman will have to be more than t with Churchill if the United tes is to receive aid against Japan from the great manpower pool of India.

But they have also pointed out that the British Government, instead of en- deavoring to cooperate with the United States, has actually pulled in the opposite direction. These. are strong statements. But are made by responsible people in the State Department. For instance, last year Wallace Murray, then Political Adviser to the Secretary of State, now U. S. Minister to Iran, addressed a memo to Secretary Hull to the’ |effect that the British were spend- ing money on an anti-American | campaign in India. Basing this on thigh-ranking Indian oificial | sources, Murray reported: war, | ey “The British are spending 100,000 rupees this year in India for anti-| American propaganda and are | spending Rs. 200,000 for anti-| | Indian propaganda in the United States. ‘One manifestation of the anti- American propaganda indulged in by the Government of India is the official attitude towards certain questions asked by British soldiers at lectures. “One question that often crops jup is Lend-Lease and how dces it work. This as referred to New Delhi and although nothing was written down as the standard stock answer, the word was sent around to everybody that the stock answer ' vas to be to the effect that Lend- Lease is a means thought up by | President Roosevelt whereby after | this war, the Americans would | |control all markets in countries | | where Lend-Lease exister. A great deal of emphasis was to be |placed on the effect of American control of trade in India.” | In conclusion, Mr. Murray com- | mented: “It is recognized that the| | British feel that the American in- fluence is prejudicial to their in-| terests and that anti- American | propaganda in one form or an-| other is encouraged by the British." | | | U. S. POPULAR WITH INDIANS Another significant report, writ- | ten earlier, came from John Davies, | Jr., Political Adviser to Gen. Stil-| well.
