FUTURE OF INDIA
LONG EXCHANGES OF VIEWS ON RESERVED SUBJECTS.
(British Official Wireless.; RUGBY, Nov\ 19. The procedure to be adopted during the remaining stages of the Indian Round-Table Conference have been announced by Lord Sankey, who presided at a meeting of the Federal. Structure Committee. Following a long interchange of views this morning the discussion on reserved subjects is to be proceeded with .and at its conclusion Lord Sankey null draft reports on the army and external relations; commercial discrimination; and finance, to be submitted to the committee before being sent, on to the plenary conference for consideration. Meanwhile the date of the plenary meeting cannot be fixed. A considerable section of the committee having reserved opinion on these subjects, the chairman said he w ,as placed in a position of some difficulty in preparing a report, which could not be framed in full details. The afternoon session was devoted to discussion on commercial discrimination, opened by Mr. Venthall. PROSPECT OF PROVINCIAL AUTONOMY (U.P.A. by Elec. Tel. Cociright.) (Received Nov. Si, 1 a.m ) LONDON, Nov. 2D. The final session in connection with the Round-table conference will be held on Nov. 27 to enable delegates, including Mr. Gandhi, to return home on Dec. i. The only . prospect as to the Indian conference is that the whole upshot is likely.to be provincial autonomy and then, later, a general conference after the provincial legislatures have settled down and appointed delegates. There is general disbelief in the possibility of settling the Communal question.
The Australian Press Assn, representative reliably understands that General .Smuts’ appearance on the scene is noit in the- role of arbitrator in the Hindu Mahommedan difficulties, but rather as a help to Mr. MacDonald in the dilemma with Mr. Gandhi on tho on© hand and the Conservatives on tho other.
Mr. Gandhi spent three hours on Tuesday in discussion with Mr. Lloyd George.
