SELF-GOVERNMENT DEMAND

Simla, Saturday. Presiding

the over

Indian States Subjects Conference, Mr. Chintamani, the leading Indian publicist, declared that the Bri- tish-Indian politicians had not given up their attitude of non- Intervention in regard to the In- dian States because "we want the whole of India under a constitu- tional Swaraj (self-government), neither one part under & dis- honouring alien sway nor another under an autocratic though in digenous rule."

Mr. Chintamani asked the Princes to prove their sympathy for British-Indian aspirations by converting themselves into con- stitutional rulers. He urged the leading Indian political organisa- tions to draw up a Federal Con- stitution for India guaranteeing the States the same autonomous status as the provinces and urged an independent enquiry into the financial and economic relations of the two Indias.

He concluded: "Given co-opera- tion between the States and the provinces Swaraj must be ours as

to-morrow's sun surely as rise the East."-Reuter.
