STATUS OF INDIANS.
GOVERNMENT OF KENYA COLONY BRITISH OFFICIAL VIEW. (Received Julv 25. 5.5 n.m.) LONDON.‘JuIy 24. A White Payer regarding the Government of Kenya colony states that the British Government is of opinion that the interests of the African native must be paramount, while the interests of other communities, European. Indian, and Arab, must be safeguarded. To grant responsible Government to Kenya at the present time was out of the question. Witli regard vo the claims of Indians domiciled in Kenya the Government decided that the- interests of all would: be best served by the adoption of a communal system of representation on the Legislative Council. Under this system Indians would be granted a wide franchise. The existing practice of preserving agricultural land in the high-lands by Europeans must be maintained, but the area in the low-lands will be reserved in case there is a demand for agricultural lands among Indians. —A. and N.Z.C.A.
