A crowd of 200,000, including 100 recently released and still uniformed members of the Japanese-sponsored Indian' National Army, attended the biggest public meeting ever held in Calcutta for  launching "I.N.A. Week" says the Calcutta correspondent of Reuters.

A portrait of the late Chandra Bose, who was a native of Calcutta surmounted the rostrum.

Pandit Nehru and Sardar Patel addressed the "crowd and took the salute when members of I.N.A. marched past.

Patel declared "We cannot tolerate a continuance of British power in India any longer. Foreign domination must end."

He told members of I.N.A. "The Congress Party has a place for you all, because of your remarkable courage and self sacrifice."

Pandit Nehru warned that sporadic violence would not pay. "If we are forced to adopt the way of violence, then it is for the nation to do it! deliberately, not casually," he said.
