London reports from India state that the textile city of Sholapur has fallen completely—that is to say, the British troops have not been able to recapture Sholapur— into the hands of the Indians. Most of its inhabitants are mill workers and by no means are followers of Gandhi, but rather are followers of Lenin. eo Os From London reports as to condi- | tions in India, the fact is shown that , not only is all India ablaze, but that | ‘the British held key city of Pesh-| awar near India’s northern gate, Kvhber Pass, is in danger of cap ture by hostile Afghan warriors. Wedgwood Benn, the “Labor’ Secretary of State for India admit- ted that the British have carried out an airplane attack on the Af-) whan forces headed by the Haji of Turangsai, whose forces had ad- vanced to within twenty miles of Peshawar. Peshawar and the Kyh- ber Pass have always been the most prized outposts of the British in Northern India, as north of Kyhber lies Afghanistan and north of Af- | ghanistan lies the Soviet Union. The Haji had sent his forces to-| ward Peshawar at the invitation of | the Indians in Peshawar, but that {mattered little to the British who refuse to allow the Indians to rule | India, it being one of British im-| perialism’s richest colonies. Wedgwood Benn, to whom the Workers is calling a meeting tomor- | Indians had looked as the “friend at Unity” court” because of his pro-inde- | pendence talk, now carries out the against the Indian people as ordered | by the “Labor” Party.
