THE KING'S SPEECH.

A Statesmanlike Summary

of the Issues.

The King's speech on the open- ing of the Round Table Confer- ence was as follows:

"It affords me much satisfaction to welcome to the capital of my Empire representatives of the Princes, Chiefs and people of India, and to inaugurate their con- ference with my Ministers and re presentatives of other parties composing Parliament, in whose precincts we are assembled.

More than ones, a sovereign has summoned historic assemblies of the soil of India, but never before have British and Indian states men and rulers of Indian States met as you now meet, in one place. and round one table, to discuss a future tem of government for india, and to seek agreement, for the guidance of my Parliament as to the foundations upon which

THE PREMIER SPEAKS.

"Responsibility Lies Heavily

On Us All."

After the King's speech, the Maharajah of Patiala, the Chan- cellor of the Chamber of Princes, proposed the appointment of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald as chairman. The Maharajah of Patial assured Mr. MacDonald of the heartiest co-operation of the Indian States.

The Aga Khan seconded this. Mr. MacDonald then addressed the gathering, and said:

"Responsibility lies heavily on us all. We are now at the very birth of new history."

Loyalty to the Crown and to

Their Countrymen. The Gaekwar of Baroda said he doubted if ever before those his- toric precincts had been the scene of such a conference, on issues involving the prosperity and con-" tentment of India's millions and the greatness of the British En:- pire.

The Maharaja Jammu of Kash- mir declared that the Princes, as allies of Britain, stand solidly by the British connexion. "Aa In- Hans, we stand as solidly as the rest of our countrymen for our land's enjoyment of a position of honour and equality in the Bri-

Sir Muhammad Akbar Hydari, representing the Nizam of Hydera- bad, declared-"No hand shall sever the ties binding the Princes to the Crown." At the same time, the Indian States were ready to work harmoniously with the peo- ple of British India, "for a greater and united India."

Mr. S. Sastri (Hindu) said.-- He declared that the association "Above all, the vision of India as of Indian Princes for the first time a whole must shine brightly in our in joint conclave with representa-hearts, and her strength and pros- lives of the people of British India perity must be a sovereign con- governing ali Our was symbolical of the gradual sideration moulding together of India into plans." of one whole.
