| Description | This is a copy of the statement which Dorothy Woodman asked Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury to support. The statement emphasises the urgent need for a settlement between Britain and India to end the 'internal struggle' between the nations as Japanese forces approached Rangoon. The statement outlines 'an immediate basis for settlement' to enable Britain and India to 'meet the common danger in union' and provides a summary of the breakdown in relations between Britain and India following the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. A list of people who had already expressed their support for the statement is given at the end of the document. |
