INDIA’S RIGHTS.
HIGHER STATUS SOUGHT. EXCLUSION FROM DOMINIONS. LAW BITTERLY RESENTED. By Telegraph.-—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 20, 5.5 p.m. London, May 19. Until India is on an equal footing with the Dominions India cannot be expected to discuss seriously Imperial problems at the Imperial Conference. It is stated that Mr. Sastri, India’s delegate, in an interview on his arrival in London, spoke bitterly regarding the Australian and Canadian Exclusion Acts, and while they exist India will definitely oppose Imperial preference, because freedom in trading means freedom of entry, and until the latter is granted lijdia will demand full Dominion status.
Mr. Sastri favors an Indian Navy, manned by Indians and under Indian control. lie says he could not imagine ordering it to protect Australia, which closed its doors to Indians. At the coming conference India will reiterate her previous claims that her status must be raised.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
