INDIA'S DESTINY.
The return of the Labour Government to power has naturally raised high hopes among the Indian Nationalists, and extravagant rumours have been circulated as to certain "drastic steps" which it was alleged }lv. MaeDonald and. his colleagues are contemplating. Public anxiety on this point may be relieved by the assurance given by the "Sunday Times," that the Government will adhere to the policy defined in 1927, and that India wi'l not secure "dominion status" till the way has been thoroughly prepared. The Secretary of State for India intends to visit the country on a tour of personal inspection. But he will not promise aKythißg yet, hot will he anticipate Ln any way the findings of the Simon Commission. We may therefore conclude that there is no substantial ground for the rumoured "imminence of a dramatic change'.' in Britain's policy toward India.
