INDIA & EMPIRE
A NOTABLE SPEECH. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) CAPE TOWN, August 12. Mr Sastri, the first agent for India in South Africa, who arrived recently in conn’ection with the Indian problem, received a remarkable ovation from a large European audience when he appealed for a new spirit in the treatment of Indians. He declared that occasional disruptive movements in India were inevitable, when mutual relations were still in process of adjustment, but he said that Indian people dare not contemplate the consequences of a withdrawal of Britain’s hand from the helm of the Indian Empire. He declared that the British Empire was the one sure guarantee of peace in a distracted world, but he regretted the loyalty of India, was often endangered by the treatment accorded to Indians in parts of the Empire, other than Britain and India. India would obtain full Dominion status a few years hence, and her people could not be despised by their fellow citizens within the Empire.
