STATUS OF INDIANS
APPEAL FOR TOLERATION. Capetown, August 12. Mr Sastri, the. first Agent for India in South Africa, who arrived recently in connection with the Indian problem, received a remarkable ovation from a large European audience when he appealed for a new spirit in the treatment of Indians. He declared that occasional disruptive movements in India were inevitable when the mutual relations were still in a process of adjustment, but he said the Indian people dare not contemplate the consequences of the withdrawal of Britain’s hands from the helm of the Indian Empire. He declared that the British Empire was the one sure guarantee of peace in a distracted world, but he regretted that the loyalty of India was often endangered by the treatment accorded Indians in parts of the Empire other than Britain and India. India would obtain her full dominion status a few years hence and her people could not be despised by their fellow citizens within the Empire. —A. and N.Z.
