Attlee stressed the need for India to work out her own problems and to reach a united decision on the matter of independence. He said he did not believe Indian leaders would fail to realize the need for settlement of minority problems, but "we cannot allow minorities to veto advances by the majority, nor dictate how India should overcome these difficulties."
"India herself must choose her future constitution and position in the world," he said. "I hope that the Indian people may elect to remain within the British Commonwealth."
Whatever course India chooses, he said, "It must be by her own free will. The British Commonwealth is not bound together by chains of external compulsion. It is a free association of free peoples."

New Bookstore To Replace Union Rec Room
Fountain Expansion Includes 32 Booths Dancing Space
nfluenced. Please for expansion of the book store and the fountain have been accented by the Union Operating board.
A student book store will replace the present recreation room in the Memorial Union next fall, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, announced today.
The present book exchange will be enlarged to include what is now the recreation room. It will have approximately 26,000 square feet of retail space, which is about the size of the general lounge area inside the pillars.
Organized houses are asked to answer phones with the name of the house and "Breathe the Aggies," the ASC reported today.
The Union fountain will be expanded to the north about 60 feet. The enlarged fountain will be near the size of the general lounge, the men's lounge, and one-half the entrance hallway of the Union.
The new addition to the fountain will have a flat roof which will be used as an open-air recreational deck. This deck will be entered from the second floor of the Union and will provide additional space for dancing, shuffle board, ping pong and other recreational sports.
Organized Houses Answer Telephones Beat the Aggies'
After the expansion has been made, the fountain will have 32 booths, and floor space for dancing.
A sub-committee consisting of Miss Hermina Zipple, Prof. George Beal, Alberta Cornwell, and Charles Hall will work with the architect to complete the plans.
"The expansion of the book store and the fountain will not interfere with the main expansion which has been planned for the Union; however, it must be financed before we start the expansion to the south," Dean Werner said.
According to the present plans the new expansion should be completed by Sept. 5, at a cost of $75,000.
The council traditions committee will decorate the student section of Kansas City's municipal auditorium with pennants and school colors for the game. Students who go to the game are urged to wear red, white or blue sweaters or shirts for the student section, Lois Thompson, committee chairman, said.
