Kandhi said in a state ments tonight that “an indispen sable preliminary to peace is the complete freedom of India from all foreign control.” He asserted that the present delegation appointed to represent India at fne San Francisco con ference was but a ‘camouflage” and ought to be dropped. The statement, on which Gandhi refused to enlarge because he is observing a period of silence, ad ded that “such representation will be worse than no representation. Either India at San Francisco is represented by an elected repre sentative or represented not at all.” Dropped on pillows on a sheet covered floor at Birla House, and apparently in the best of spirits and health, Gandhi received cor respondents in a combination re ception room and office. The writ ers were barefooted or in their stocking feet. After the correspondents had seated themselves on the floor, to the accompaniment of little bob bings of the head and touching of his palms in a sort of salute, Gandhi fiddled with a stack of correspondence while a secretary passed around copies of the 700 word statement. “I reiterate my conviction that there will be no peace for the Al lies of the world unless they shed their belief in the efficacy of war and its accompanying terrible de ceptions and fraud, and are de termined to hammer out a real peace based on the freedom and equality of all races and nations,” Gandhi said in his statement. “The exploitation and domina tion of one nation over another can have no place in a world straining to put an end to all war.” Then the statement called for the complete freedom of India, “not merely because it is a classic example of imperialistic domina nation, but especially because it is a big, ancient and cultured coun try which has fought for freedom since 1920 deliberately with truth and non-violence as its only weapons. -V Germans Held Unable To Exchange Prisoners Under Normal Process — LONDON. April 17.— W —The British Foreign Office and War Of jfice disclosed tonight that the Ger ! man government had acknowled ged its inability to function nor mally as a power under interna I tional conventions covering the I exchange of war prisoners.

Reaction to the President’s ad dress to Congress was generally favorably. While he made no spe cific reference to France in his speech, it was interpreted widely as indicating goodwill of the new administration toward what Presi dent Truman called “our friends abroad.” Driver Injured In Effort To Avoid Auto Collision The driver of a ton and a hall truck, loaded with about three quarters cords of pulpwood, was injured slightly about 10 a. m. yes terday when he overturned the vehicle to avoid a collision with an oil tanker about eight miles from Wilmington on the New Bern highway, deputy sheriffs report ed. Johnnie Newkirk, Negro, of 219 McRae street, told Deputy Sheriff J. R. Koonce he swerved sharply to the left and overturned to avoid crashing into the rear of the tanker, which had passed him and stopped suddenly to pick up two hitch-hik ers. The Negro was treated and re leased from Bullock clinic. --V More than 9.000 new books »re brought out each year. - ■ --- -- ... -...
