FRENCH GOVERNMENT DELIBERATES IN FACE OF NEW DANGERS

DAYLIGHT SEEN IN INDIAN PROBLEM

SIR SAMUEL HOARE GIVES REASON FOR OPTIMISM QUESTION OF PRINCES' ACCESSION AGAIN DISCUSSED

London, To-day.

The Indian States' views on the Government of India Bill contained in the White Paper show that one of their chief demands relates to the form of their accession to the federation, con- cerning which the Princes wish to accept only specified portions of the Act. Further they urge the settlement of the question of paramountcy and ask that an acknowledgment of the sanctity of their treaties be incorporated in the Act and request a time-limit to the Governor General's assumption of control in the event of a break- down of the Constitution.

Sir Samuel Hoare. Secretary for India, replying, was of the opinion that the Constitution must be accepted as a whole, thongh it has always been agreed that there might be a variation in the

powers exercised In relation to the Native States.

The Government is prepared to insert in the Bill a clause providing that “nothing enacted will affect the engagements of the Crown outside the Federal sphere, and they are also prepared to place a time-limit to the operation of the breakdown clause.

GERMAN COMMENT ON BRITISH NOTE

Paris, To-day.

M. Flandin, the French Premier had a long conversation yesterday afternoon with the War Minister, General Maurin, after which he was re- ceived by the President of France, M. le Brun.

M. Dommange, the Right-wing Independent Deputy for Paris, will move in the Chamber to- day that those conscripts whose term of service normally ends in April shall remain with the co- lours until October, since the man-power of Ger- many's army now far exceeds that of the French.

"The situation resembles that preceding 1914," declared the veteran trade-unionist, M. Jouhaux, at a meeting of the National Committee of the General Federation of Labour yesterday after- noon. "The position is dangerous, but Geneva is still the supreme safeguard. The Council of the League must forbid an offensive
