THE DESIRE OF INDIA
EQUALITY AND BROTHERHOOD. THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received July 28, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, July 27. Mr Sastri, speaking at the LordMayor's luncheon, said he and the Maharajah of Cutch had come to England to ask that "our status as equal partners in the Empire should be recognised, not merely in the United Kingdom, but with equal warmth and readiness throughout the Empire. We were under no delusions respecting the difficulties which would be encountered before this, was accomplished, and we were fully aware of the peculiar circumstances in parts of the Empire where the meaning of the Empire was not, fully understood, and where more education was necessary before the electorates could understand the significance of the lofty ideals of equality and brotherhood on which the Empire is based. We have learned a lesson in patience 'which conquers difficulties, and we hope the citizens of the United Kingdom will! help us in seeking a perfect and undiminished equality with the rest of the Empire."
