THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
THE INDIAN CONFERENCE. It is natural that the idea of Federation should appeal most strongly to the Indian Princes; for it is only under t ,such a system that they could expect to retain the rights and privileges that they now enjoy. At the same time, some of them seem to realise the needs of the Indian peoples and to respond to the appeal to patriotism as sincerely as the Nationalist leaders themselves. The Gaekwar of Baroda, who has always had radical leanings, pleads for the recognition of India aVs “a self-governing unit of Tmpire,” and the Maharajah of Alwar appeals to Britain to shorten the period of probation and “to make India great that England may be greater.” Evidently, Nationalist sentiment is working strongly even in aristocratic and monarchical circles in India. —Auckland Star.
