MOSCOW radio defined independence ... as a word used by western nations to serve `imperialist diplomacy` and `camouflage expansionist aims`, states A.P.A. in a message from London.

In a broadcast in English, commentator Philip Baratov declared: `One gets a pretty good picture of what the west means by independence if one considers the treaty for the so-called independence of Trans-Jordania [and] the AngloEgyptian talks in Cairo....

Asserting `the war of the British for the diamond deposits of Kimberlay and the gold-fields of the Transvaal was draped in an elaborate mantle of struggle against slave holders and the pretext was the murder of a British subject by the Transvaal police`, the broadcast took a turn at criticising the United States. `The same methods were used by the Americans in developing their system of naval bases in the Pacific and in the Caribbean Sea, and the establishment of American domination in the Caribbean was also screened with the flag of independence for the enslaved peoples.... Certain foreign circles are again hatching ... expansionist plans.

This time, too, the screen is independence. The duty of all who cherish the interests of peace is to expose this machination.` Dawn Delhi
