“Phe Quakers are not political

our visit is that we want to pro-

The memorandum, part of which

makes a detailed analysis of the
attitude of the principal Indian
newspapers towards U.S, policy. It
contains “all kinds. of facts and

According to Crossroads, both
Atom and another progressive
weekly Blitz have been under an
American + organized advertising
boycott in recent months. As a
result, Atem, despite increased
circulation, could not meet rising
costs of production.

On May 7, editor Karanjia, who
was also part owner of the paper,

‘announced that it would have to

suspend publication temporarily. |
Shortly afterwards the paper was
approached by American agents
who offered to lift the advertising
boycott and make substantial in-
vestments in the publishing com-
pany. The condition governing
this offer was that the paper
would change its policy and allow
the new investors to name the for-
eign editor. When Karanjia op-
posed the offer he was forced out.
