Proposed
Full Dominion Status Offered in Return for War Assistance
NEW DELHI, Mar. 29—(U.P.) —Full dominion status “at the earliest possible date” after the war is Britain’s offer to India in return for helping defeat the axis, Sir Stafford Cripps disclosed tonight in an official statement on the proposals he had discussed with Indian leaders during the past week.
Whether the plan granted the Indian demand for complete freedom was a matter of interpretation, tor as a dominion, India would have the right to secede at its own choice from the British
i
commonwealth.
WARTIME COMPROMISE •
The proposals drawn up by Prime Minister WTinston Churchill’s war cabinet had the appearance of a wartime compromise which in essence told the two biggest political groups in India, the All-India congress and the Moslem league, to fight with the British empire now and write their own tickets afterward.
A major concession was a British promise to accept a constitution drafted by representatives of the Indian people themselves.
The plan's greatest handicap seemed to be its tacit recognition that the Moslems could, if they wished, establish their own dominion outside Hindu India. The All-India congress always has insisted on the unity and indivisibility of India.
PLANS PROVISIONS
The plan provided that any province—or provinces—had the right to reject the new constitution and stay out of the projected dominion union. If it did not enter the union, it might retain its present status under British rule or frame 1 its own constitution, entitling it to the same privileges as the Indian union. It also would be permitted to join the Indian union later.
The statement added that Britain would negotiate with the constitu-I tional assembly a treaty for protection of racial and religious minorities.
OBLIGATIONS RECOGNIZED
It announced that Britain recognized its obligation to direct Indian defenses during the war but realized the need for Indian leaders to organize Indian opinion and resources behind the war.
It invited Indian leaders to cooperate to the fullest in the war effort, whihc it pointed out was “a j task which is vital and essential for the future freedom of India.”
Sir Stafford, transmitting the proposals to the Indian populace for the first time, appealed to the press to treat them seriously as af-j fecting the happiness and freedom of 350.000.000 people.
He emphasized that he had offered nothing more than proposals, which the British government (Continued on Page Two)

Trojan Squire Applications Offered Today
Would-be members of the Trojan Squires, sophomore men’s honorary service organization, may obtain petitions for membership at the cashier's window in the Student Union Bookstore, Dwight Hart, president of the Trojan Knights, announced yesterday.
All applicants must have a 1. grade average and must maintain that cumulative average to remain in the organization.
“Membership in the Squires is selected from the entire student body, and not just on the basis of fraternity membership,” Hart emphasized.
Petitions will be available until Thursday, and the date for applicants’ interviews will be announced later.
Members of the Squires aid the Trojan Knights as official hosts of the university, and supervise activities at football games, basketball- games, assemblies, and other campus activities.
Dr. Baxter Reads Tennyson Poetry
“The poet in a golden clime was born,
With golden stars above;
Dowered with the hate of hate, the scorn of scorn,
The love of love.”
Poet, playwright, and perfect expression of the intellectual outlook of the Victorian era, Alfred Lord Tennyson will be the subject of Dr. Frank C. Baxter’s poetry reading session at 12 noon today in the Doheny art and lecture room.
Primarily a skillful lyricist, Tennyson was called the most tech-nicaly perfect poet since Pope. Beginning his career while still a student at Cambridge, Tennyson, at first attacked by critics, later became England’s most renowned poet. His crowning glory came when he was named to succeed Wordsworth as Britain’s poet laureate.
Though sometimes superficial, Tennyson was capable of great feeling in verse.

Ralston Holmes, commandant of the 11th naval district, who inspected and reviewed the SC navy unit before parents and friends of the reserve midshipmen gathered on Bovard field at 1:30 p.m. Friday.
Before the review a luncheon honoring the admiral and parents was held in the Foyer of Town and Gown. The admiral gave a short speech concluding with a thought >er
He felt the luncheon and the assembly on Bovard field deserved a “well done.”
On his arrival on campus Admiral Holmes was shown through the offices, assembly room and the armory of the unit located in the Physical Education building by Capt. Reed M. Fawell, commandant of the Trojan unit.
Following the tour of inspection, i the admiral and unit officers went to the Foyer of Town and Gown where NROTC members, their par-
band and the three companies and observed the unit execute the man-uel of arms. Roelmer Turpien, battalion commander, had the unit pass in review before the admiral, out of Bovard field, and march down University avenue to the dispersing point at the armory of the Physical Education building.
The day marked a host of “firsts” in that it was the first time that the parents have had an opportunity to observe the cadets in par-a
