Thoughtful men thought twice when they learned that sardonic, myopic Subhas Chandra Bose, traitor, was with the Japs around Imphal. Twice President of the Indian National Congress and long the loudest foe of British rule in India, Bose's name was wildly cheered in Delhi after Bose himself had turned up in Berlin seeking Hitler's aid in freeing India. That was August...
...last October Bose had worked his way to Singapore via Tokyo. He proclaimed a "Provisional Government of India," set about recruiting an "army of liberation," was tireless in his praise for Jap assistance in the task. When the time came to threaten Allied communications with southeast Asia, the Japs dubbed Bose a general and took him along with his "army of liberation."

Best sample of "understanding" came from Singapore, where the renegade Indian nationalist, Subhas Chandra Bose, addressed the nucleus of what he hopes will become an Indian "army of liberation." Said the ubiquitous Bose: "When France declared war on Germany, the cry on every German soldier's lips was 'On to Paris!' When the brave soldiers of Nippon set out in December 1941, the cry was: 'On to Singapore!' Comrades, let your cry be 'On to Delhi!'" Noting that India lacks an army of her own, Bose added: "George Washington had an army when...
