HOME RULE FOR INDIA.
Policy Of Nationalists. INDIAN PRINCE’S WARNING. (United Press Association —By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright.) DELHI, February 4. Addressing his Durbar, the Maharajah of Patiala uttered the frankest warning yet given to the Nationalist politicians of India: “We refuse to follow a will o’ the wisp independence, because we are convinced that the outcome would be disastrous in the extreme to the ideal of Greater India, which we cherish.” The Maharajah declared that he could not watch indifferently the growth in British India of revolutionary activities, which might engulf them. Furthermore, the position of the Indian princes, as guardians of law and order in their States, would compel them to oppose with all their resources any movement preparing to undermine the authority foundations of social order.
