London, June 1.

General Smuts declared that Europe had largely lost her pre- war power and position, and the scene had moved to the Far East and the Pacific, which would be the centre of the world's problema in the next fifty years. He believed that the present conference would become one of the great landmarks of history if it could lead the Powers concerned in the Far East into friendly conference.

Mr. Sastri pleaded that Indians now falls domiciled in the Dominions should receive full citizenship.

BANK FRAUDS.

Sentences on Farrow and his Associates.

General Smuts, stressing the need of peace in the strongest manner, pressed that the cardinal feature of our policy was to make an armaments race impossible. The most fatal mistake would be a race with America. The Empire, however, did not need exclusive alliances. The fact that Europe had largely lost her pre-war power and position was a strong rason against the Empire entering into European en- tanglements. Referring to the international outlook in the Far East, General Smuts declared that the British Empire's great position The Farrow's Bank trial resulted in Farrow and Crotch being singled her out as peacemaker and mediator between East and West. sentenced to four years' pecal servitude. Hart, who was recom-

Mr. Sastri foreshadowed the submission of a resolution as regards the status of Indians in the Dominions, which he declared would be regarded in India as the test by which the whole position must be judged.
