EQUALITY- ISSUE
INDIAN NATIONALS IN SOUTH AFRICA AMERICAN PRESS VERSION (Rec. 12.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 1. The newspaper P.M. says the Bri-. tish delegation persuaded General Smuts to postpone the speech he intended to make at the General Assembly yesterday. The British convinced General Smuts that it was desirable to Straighten out in committee the quarrel between India and South Africa over the alleged unfair treatment of Indians in South Africa. P.M. says: “On good authority, the British concern is not merely to keep imperial peace. It is based on the acute embarrassment felt throughout the Empire over India, because India is in an inferior position compared with fellow-members of the Empire. Apart from the discomfort of washing dirty linen publicly, Britain is afraid that India may say: Why should India stay in the Empire if our fellow-members refuse to treat us as equals?”
