INDIA'S PLACE IN THE SUN,

MAHARAJA OF BIKANIR ON THE

NEW ERA.

The Maharaja of Bikanir has made tho following statement to a representative of The Times:

the consistent sympathy and courtesy At the Munsion House I acknowledged

shown to the Indian delegates to the Tr and other members of his Majesty's Go périal Conference by the Prime Minister ernment, and the hearty comradeship of the statesmen from the Overscus Domin loss. India has been freely admitted to the innermost councils of the Empire, and her representatives have had every op portunity to express their views.

I cannot speak too gratefully of the Secretary of State for India. We have been greatly impressed not only by Mr. Chamberlain's high sense of duty, and his frankness and fairmindedness in the council chamber and in discussing Indian problems with us in private, but also by his courtesy in giving us every encourage- ment to speak for ourselves both in the Cabinet and the Conference meetings. I wish to add my sense of personal indebt edness to my two old friends and present colleagues, Sir James Meston and Sir Batyendra Sinha. Our relations through, out have been of the happiest and frankest description. The enl judgment

and broad outlook of Bir Satyendra Sinha, who has long been known as a true son of India, have greatly contribut ed to the understanding and sympathy with which the Indian cause has been handled in the Imperial sessions. James Meston, alike in conference and private consultation, has shown insight Here he preand broadmindedness, and the utmost

loyalty to the land of his adoption.

The wagons turn into the hoof-scarred, wheel-rutied field and take their appoint ed places in a gigantic, slow-moving ellipse, one side of which lies close to the stacks of ammuntion. The drivers dis- mount and feed their horses, walking their teams onwards in their elliptical orbit as the loaded wagons file out at the opposite end of the dump, until they in their turn arrive opposite the stack com posed of the ammunition they require.

Meanwhile, the officer or sorgeant in sharge of each unit has made his way through the toiling gangs of leaders, the waiting crowd of men, horses, and wagons, to the little galvanised iron hut which is the dump office. sents his inden for the number of rounds of ammunition he is to take to the guns, and obtains receipt form, to be daly But though the history of these two filled in when his wagons are loaded. *Got ready for loading, sergeant." great assemblies is different, each of them.

My sense of indebtedness extends to the Fress and the public, both for the good will shown me personally and for the quickened response to Indian hopes and aspirations I trace a great development in this respect during the two years sinde I was last in this country, early in 1915. Even then there were abundant evidences of hearty recognition of the loyal anthu
