"BRITISH HAVE MADE LOT OF JINNAH AND HIS SEPARATIST TENDENCIES.
 
 IF THIS ATTITUDE CONTINUES  SOLUTION IMPOSSIBLE. AT SAME TIME NO ONE 
 
WANTS BRITISH GOVERNMENT THROW JINNAH COMPLETELY OVERBOARD. LET 
 
THEM SAY THEY RECOGNIZE INDIAN INDEPENDENCE SELF-DEETERMINATION 
 
AND LEAVE IT TO US SETTLE WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM 
 
THEM. REAL PROBLEM IS HOW TO MAKE OUR PEOPLE ENTHUSIASTIC FOR 
 
CAUSE. NO VAGUE PROMISES ASSURANCE POLITICAL OR DIPLOMATIC 
 
PHRASIOLOGY IS GOOD ENOUGH BUT SOME THING THAT STRIKES AT ROOT OF 
 
PROBLEM."
