Plan for India PROPOSALS DISCLOSED BY CRIPPS Same Measure of Freedom Would Be Accorded as That Enjoyed By Other Dominions. NEW DELHI, India, March 30: fc Sir Stafford Crlpps, special British envoy to India, In a broadcast explaining the British war cabinet's freedom proposals for India, .said the British people wished to give India the ame constitution as Britons. Sir Stafford revealed that, under the proposalsofthBrUish government which he has been discussing with Indian leaders, India would get Dominion status equal to that already enjoyed by other British Dominions. The British plan provides for a new Indian constitution immediately after the war is over under which India would be governed by an elected body representing the Indian states. Any state not wishing to come in could have a separate constitu tion. The British government and In dian leaders would frame and negotiate a treaty which would cover all points. There would be protection of racial and religious minorities. Responsibility for the defence of India during the war would stay in the hands of the BriUsh government with the full co-operation of the Indian people. Sir Stafford urged that the In dian people should rise up against the Japanese in full force. Some of the most influential In dian leaders are known to approve the British plan.
