said
"it
will
be
for
us
to

and
easy
as
possible,"
adding
that
"I
hope
the

elect
to
remain
with
the
British
Commonwealth.
If
she
does
so,
it
must

by
her

will,
for
the
British
Commonwealth
and
Empire
is
not
bound
together
by

Attlee
said
that
Britain,
in
making
a
final
treaty
with
India
was
not
"going
to
hold
out
anything
to
our
own
advantage
that
would
be
to
the
disadvantage
of
India."
He
said
he
thought
India
