British
History
Made
OftE
of
the
mdst
epochal
incidents
in
British
jhistory
occurred
yesterday
within
the
storied
'vails
of
Westminster
when
Prime
Minister
Clement
Attlee
told
a
grave
and
hushed
House
of
Parliament
that
Great
Britain
would
end
her
rule
of
India
next
year.
Thus
comes,
after
150
years,
onelof
the
greatest
voluntary
abdications
of
power
the
."world
has
ever
seen.
Independence
for
India
had
been
on
the
cards
butjthe
sudden
announcement
of
the
Prime
Minister
yesterday,
coupled
with
the
virtual
admission
that
India
had
become
too
hot
to
handle
because
of
the
critical
internal
situation
and
the
failure
of
all
efforts
to
reach
a
settlement
between
Hindus
and'
Moslems,
was
nothing
short
of
shocking,
if
not
tragic.
Owing
to
the
pass
which
has
been
reached
in
India,
it
is
difficult
to
know
ha't
might
have
been
don
By
remaining
there
was
every
possibility
that
Britain
would
become
involved
in
a
civil
war
whch
would
have
challenged
if
not
discredited
her
authority.
With
Britain
now
withdrawing,
Indian
elements
will
now
have
to
compromise
or
chaos
will
be
the
result.
If
the
drastic
action
as
announced
by
fthe
Prime
Minister
yesterday
has
the
effect
of
bringing
the
elements
of
India
together
in
their
mutual
interests,
it
will
have
been
well
justified.
