The following articlé, by a well-known member of the Indian community in Hong Kong, should be of great interest at this time. It giver the view of a sober-minded and loyal member of our Empire, and expresses the psychological factors with which both British and Indian statesmen are juced at this time. It shown, at the whole course of the Round Table Conference has shown, that rust changes must be made in the Government of India and huge risks taken.
