Another Anglo-Indian in a letter to the press, deplores that Mrs Besant s visit to Australia includes pushing . the campaign for securing India's free dom, independence, and self-determin-ation. He says the Indians already have all three to a greater extent than the inhabitants of any other civilised country. Xowhere it there such freedom from annoying restrictions.
