INDIA’S STATUS IN THE EMPIRE
DEMAND FOR EQUALITY WITH DOMINIONS OPPOSITION TO IMPERIAL PREFERENCE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Rec. May 19, 8.50 p.m.) London, Alay 18. In an interview, Mr. Srinivasa Sastri, an elected member of the Imperial Legislative Council of India, and an Indian representative on the Imperial Cabinet, said, that he was not particularly optimistic over the Imperial Conference. The discussions hitherto had not led to much improvement in India’s status in tho Empire. "Until we are placed on an equal footing with the Dominions," he said, “we cannot seriously discuss the problems of defence and preferential trade."
Air. Sasirt spoke bitterly of the prohibition against Indians entering Australia, Canada, and South Africa. He said that under such a state of affairs India was definitely opposed to Imperial preference.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
