Montagu, Secretary of State for India, foreshadowed a Reform Bill in June. He pointed oii/t that India was an original member of the League of Nations, and such mom. bership was only justifiable if India was raised to the position of a sister nation of' the Enipire, and was. wholly inconsistent with India's present eu'bordina* Hon. Mr. Montagu added: 'T say to our colleagues representing the great Eomin. ions thnt this position of India's equality in tho League is wholly inconsistent with the treatment of India's citizens in the British Dominioiiß, which puts them lower than the oitizens of other parts of our Empire,"—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Aesn.
