INDIAN DELEGATE TO IMPERIAL CONFERENCE. Prince's Representative Criticises Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
London, June 15, Maharao Cutch, representing the Indian Princes at the Imperial Cabinet, interviewed by Renter, said that India's definite program me depended upon the agenda. If however, there was any idea of not taking up the questions in which India was specially interested they would expect Mr. Montign to take a firm stand and press for proper consideration thereof.
