INDIAN STATUS
AN EARLY STATEMENT VICEROY'S LONDON VISIT (United Service.) (Received October 14, 11 a.m.) LONDON, October 13. The Sunday Times says Lord Irwin, before returning, to India, last Thursday, was in close consultation with the Government regarding India's future, and soon after resuming the , Viceroyalty a fortnight hence will make an important announcement on future policy. Simultaneously in the' British Parliament it will be made clear that the Government adheres to the 1927 declaration, and will lay down set terms of Dominion status for India, the goal to be aimed at when conditions are practicable.
It is expected that Captain. Wedgwood Benn will go to India in the winter and arrange a round-table conference at which all shades of Indian opinion will be represented. It is understood that Lord Irwin's statement, while not anticipating or prejudicing the Simon Commission's report, will give a general indication of the lines of-advance contemplated.
