INDIA PEACEFUL.
NO PROSPECT OF TROUBLE. MR. SASTRI IN AUSTRALIA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 8, 7.40 p.m. Adelaide, June 8. Mr. Saatri, one of India’s delegates to the Washington Conference, who is making a special tour of Australia and New Zealand, interviewed, declared that there -was now no prospect of a political disturbance in India. Even those friendly towards the Government considered that in the grievances which gave rise to the Ghandi disturbances there was a great deal of genuineness. Perhaps the most serious cause of discontent was the dismemberment of the Turkish Empire, which violated the pledge given by Mr. Lloyd George in 1918. The 65 million Mohammedans in India felt that the Turkish Empire had been dealt with unjustly and with excessive severity, and they were asking themselves, What does the word of Britain stand for? The Indian. Government had done, its part most honourably throughout this business and vigorously advocated the Mohammedan ease. He said the Indian Government’s anxiety to place India on a full Dominion status was obvious.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
