"From Hitler's treacherous attack on Russia to Japan's unprovoked aggression, leading to the U.S.A.'s entry into the world struggle, a series of events has taken place, completely transforming the character of the war. The Federation must take note of the change and reformulate its policy.

"It is not enough to express sympathy and give moral support to the war of the anti-Fascist front led by the Soviet Union. It would be wrong to say that we cannot do anything before we are free or are granted such and such demands. The titanic struggle for world liberation raging in five continents which is now knocking at our very door, demands that we Indian people unite to hold our heads high and declare to the people of the world we know this war is just, we are in it, and are determined to do everything to win it."
