Adjournment

The door of Mohamed AH Jinnah's Bombay bungalow swung open. Out stepped Mohandas K. Gandhi. Eighteen days after they began, the Moslem-Hindu unity talks between the leaders of the Moslem League and the All-India Nationalist Party had ended. Result: stalemate.

Said Jinnah: "I regret to say that I have failed in the task of converting Mr. Gandhi. . . ." Said Gandhi: "The failure is only socalled. It is an adjournment sine die" Said Chakravarti Rajagopalachariar, who arranged the meeting: "I'll begin to dig in the river again when it's dry."

Said Viceroy Lord Wavell: "I believe if the Hindus and Moslems would work together in India's economic reconstruction and in getting on with the war they could settle their differences and achieve self-government in the near future."
