(AP) De claring that "India is as much in terested as her allies in warding off attack," Mohandas K. Gandhi proposed today that India be made free and that United Na tions troops be allowed to remain to defend the country against the Japanese. The influential nationalist wrote in his weekly newspaper: "I argue that allied troops, if they remain, will do so not to ex ercise authority over the people or at India's expense, but will re main under a treaty with the gov ernment of a free India at the United Nations' expense for the sole purpose of repelling Japa nese attacks and helping China." "He proposed that India be re lieved of British taxes, authority and financial obligations so that she would be able to start a new national life with non-violence as its "predominant sanction." He said his non violence would "express itself In her ambassa dors going to the axis countries not to beg for peace but to show them the futility of war."
