THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
THE INDIAN PROBLEM. • At the Indian Conference stress was laid by Lord Lee on Lord Irwin’s lather unfortunate, reference to “Dominion Status’’ last January, and insisted that the Viceroy never intended to suggest the immediate attainment of this still distant goal. He urged the Indian delegates not to un-der-estimate the immense value of the concessions outlined in the Commission’s report, emphasised the importance of “the Federal idea” as the most practicable solution of the problem, and on behalf of the Conservative Party “affirmed the strong belief” that India would “sooner or later” attain “equal (partnership” in the British Commonwealth of Nations. The chief importance of the statement lies in its approval of Federalism as a practicable polioy, and its refusal to consider seriously the demand of the Nationalists for the immediate and unconditional concession of ■ autonomy and independence. —Auckland Paper.
