The meeting dispersed without coming to a decision, but the pro- ducers have been given a week In which to make known their views, after which there will be further negotiations with the

BRIGHTEST HOPES RAISED DURING CONFERENCE DEBATE,

IMPORTANT SPEECHES.

UNITARY form of government for India will receive scant

attention at the Round Table Conference judging by a general discussion of the constitutional problems yesterday, the general tenour of which adds to the high hopes entertained for nuccess, All the leading delegates favoured a federal system.

Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, the British Indian delegate who on the eve of the Conference, with Mr. Jayakar, vainly tried to mediate between the Viceroy and Gandhi, emphasised the changes that had taken place in India in the last decade and the gravity of the civil disobedience movement..

He expressed the opinion that Parliamentary sovereignty for India really meant the sovereignty of half a dozen men in England and half a dozen in India. Indians, therefore, naturally sought freedom.

The Englishman, he added, asked what it meant when Indians used the "forbidden phrase," Dominion Status, but "did the average Englishman ask that question in 1865 as regards Canada, in 1900 as regards Australia and in 1909 as regards South Africa?"

He appealed to the Indian Princes to "move" forward with the vision of India as a single whole, each part autono- mous and absolutely independent within Ita borders, regulated by proper relations with the rest."

He strongly urged an All-India Federation, which Indians considered a "real live issue now."

He later declared that no Indian Minister could have made Kraver-blunders than had been made in dealing with recurrent agitations in India in the past 25 years.

The Maharaja of Bikaner reaffirmed the unflinching loyalty of the Indian States to the Throne.. They were most influenced by the development of political ideas and institutions beyond their frontiers. He criticised the Unitary form of government and recommended a Federal system, asking that the rights of the Princes arising from Treaties should be more precisely defined. He emphasised the importance of the estab- lishment of a Supreme Court to adjudicate on treaty righta.

This was promised by Mr. Jayaker, who made further encouraging suggestions on the constitution.
