CONFLICT IN INDIA
CHAMBER OF PRINCES
LONDON, December 5.

The resignations are reported to have followed Lord Waveli's reply to a memorandum in which the princes, jnter alia, demanded a guarantee that their relationship with the Crown should not be affected on the transfer of power and responsibility to a popular Government of India. It is understood that this guarantee was refused. The princes also wanted their treaty rights to be declared sacrosanct for ail time.
