(b You must forgive me if I frankly admit that I have not been able io understand the policy of your committee on the question of election alliances. ] am totally confused. The spokesman of the parliamentary board of U.P.S.C.F. has said in a statement that S.C.F, does not desire any election alliance with any leftist party, while, if T understood.correctly from news reports, your central committee favoured electoral adjustments, or some such similar alliance. The Socialist Party, of course, has in its policy laid down that we will not enter into any electroal alliance or adjustment, but will not contest elections except in those constituencies where its membership is at least one per cent of the total electorate and is spread over one-third of its polling stations. The Soctalist Party does not believe that any other party is an Opposition party, but the above decision has opened a way for automatic electroal adjustment with other allegedly opposition parties because by this we will be contesting in about 500 10 600 constituencies only and we will keep ourselves out of nearly 3,000 constituencies.
(c) The resolution adopted by your committee on the Suez may be based primarily in national interest, but I am extremely doubtful if in the long run, this will be really in the interest of the Indian people. This would mean that the foreign capital invested in India may not be nationalized without the consent of the countries whose nationals the foreign capitalists may be.
May I request vou to very kindly ask the office of 5.C.F. to send us a copy of those resolunons.
I understand that Dr. Lohta was to have met you, but I do not think that he will be able to meet you in the immediate future, but if you can spare your valuable time, I may come over and discuss matters with you.
