INDIAN AMBASSADOR.
NOT SATISFIED WITH MISSION. riy Telegraph.^-Press Assn.—Copyrfsht. Delhi, Nov. 28. Mr. Sastri, interviewed regarding his mission, said he was not fully satisfied, and never expected to be so. Public opinion in the Dominions had been so long adverse to the Indian claims, or so lukewarm, that immediate results were not feasible. There was very genuine sympathy in the Dominions lie visited, and this would probably take definite shape in the future. “Omitting the question o£ the franchise, our countrymen are not suffering any greet hardship from a material point of view. They are doing very well indeed. Economic considerations form the chief obstacle in the path of Indians to the attainment of full political status, not the color bar. “Another leading obstacle is the disinclination of the public to discriminate in favor of Indians against Japanese or Chinese. This impression is confirmed by the general testimony of Indians residing in the Dominions.” Mr Sastri found New Zealand most sympathetic. There Indians enjoyed even the franchise.
