SRINAGAR: Mr Rizwanullah, until recently Acting President of the U.P. Muslim League, who arrived here last evening [July 18], interviewed by the Orient Press stated that he was opposed to Rajagopalachari scheme for the solution of the Hindu-Muslim problem, because the scheme was totally against the spirit of the Lahore resolution of the Muslim League.

Mr. Rizwanullah, accompanied by Mr. Ahmad Nabi, former president of the Cawnpore Muslim League, saw Mr. Jinnah this morning. He declined to make any statement on the U.P. Muslim League tangle. It is reliably understood that the Committee of Action, which is meeting shortly in Lahore, will consider the affairs of the U.P. Muslim League.

[Meanwhile, as reported by an agency in London], Mr. Eden told Parliament today [July 19] that the United States and the British governments followed the situation in China with the closest attention and supplied the Chinese government with every assistance in their power.

He was answering an inquiry by the communist Mr. William Galacher, whether the United Nations were proposing any special measures to deal with the threatening Japanese advance into North China.
