GREATER INDIA IDEAL
FRANK WARNING TO EXTREMISTS OPPOSITION OF PRINCES Reed. 1.20 p.m. DELHI, Tuesday. Addressing his durbar, or court., Maharajah Patiala uttered the frankest warning yet given to Nationalist politicians in India. “We refuse to follow ‘willow o’ the wisp’ independence,” he said, “because we are convinced that the outcome would be disastrous in the extreme to the ideal of Greater India, which we cherish.” The Maharajah declared he could not watch indifferently the growth in British India of revolutionary activities, which might engulf them. Furthermore, he said, the position of Indian Princes as guardians of law and order in their States would compel them to oppose with all resources any movement preparing to undermine the authority and foundations of the social order.
