to maintain order in India. Referring to defence Mr. Sastri urged that India at present wanted her expenses greatly curtailed. India could ast consent to any defence arrangements which would abolish her power of control subject to imperial requirements. He declared that India would not content to send an Indian squadron to assist Australia in the event of war with Japan as long as Indians were excluded from Australia, Similarly the attitude of South Africa to Indians did not make for co-operation. South Africa invited Indians to assist her when labour was scarce and made promises which he hoped would be kept. He concluded by hoping that the conference would result in ameliorating the lot of Indians in different parts of the Empire.

LEIPZIG, May 23. Trials of war criminals have opened. Cinema operators waited outside the Hotel Astoria for the departure of the British commissioners and wit Desses but there was little public interest: There was a mere sprinkling of spectators outside and inside the Supreme Court. The Solicitor-General Sir Ernest Pollock, the head of the commission and three colleagues were accommodated at a table facing seven judges. Sergeant. Heyman was the Fanling first case charged with ill-treatment of prisoners at Herne Camp.
FRIGHTFUL TREATMENT.
Some of the frightful treatment meted out to prisoners was described in the trial of Heyman whom the President examined for two hours. He admitted beating prisoners. The evidence showed that men were kept under a hot and cold water douche for hours, an ordeal sometimes resulting in the unbalancing of their minds. One man died from this cause. Others were clubbed because they refused to do mining work. Instances were quoted of bread and water punishment extending for 56 days.
