CALCUTTA. July 2
British North Borneo, New Guinea and British Guiana are suggested as possible colonies for Indians by the Colonisation Inquiry Committee appointed by the South African Government last year, following the Cape Town Conference between the African and Indian Government representa tives. The committee favours a large land settlement scheme, financed by tne Governments of India and South Africa, or the creation overseas of an Indian colony to be developed chiefly by Indian enterprise.
The British North Borneo Company is prepared to negotiate for the transfer of that territory’s sovereignty to the Indian Government or to an Indian chartered company.
