New Delhi, Jan. 12. The Government has been defeated on the first division of the new Assembly on a Congress Party vote of censure.

The Congress Party raised the storm on account of the Government's refusal to allow Sarat Bose, who is charged with subversive activities in Bengal, to take his seat in the Assembly.

The Opposition carried the day by a vote of 58 to 54, amid shouts of "Gandhi Kijai. Long Live Gandhi!"-Reuter Special.

Meanwhile, the readiness of the Indian Princes to enter into the proposed All-India Federation, provided certain conditions were granted and which the Princes stipulate must be included in the Constitution, was reaffirmed in a resolution unanimously passed at to-day's altting of the Chamber of Princes.

The resolution was proposed by the Maharaja of Patinin, Chan- cellor of the Chamber, who em phasised the Princes' desiro got to stand in the way of India's aithin- ment of Dominion status.

"BASE ALLEGATIONS"

The Maharaja

of Bikaner, Reconding the resolution, took the opportunity of repudiating the allegations made by opponents of the British Government's propo- aals that the Princes would be sub- Jected to pressure to induce them To enter the Federation.

The Maharaja, on behalf of him: self and other Princes, gave the Alost emphatic contradiction to such "base allegations."

Paris, Jan. 22. The young French administrative officer, M.. Bernard, who was killed by Abyssinian tribesmen, to- gether with more than a hundred of the men under his command, on the frontier of French Somaliland in the Dikil region, recently, died only after a most heroic fight, and when trying to take aid to beleaguered French Somaliland tribesmen, according to a French Colonial Office communique.

It is known that the Assoimaras tribesmen and the Issas clan were fighting on the frontier in one of their periodic wars, and that M. Bernard, leading a force of sixteen native troopers and 88 Issas, from French Somaliland, pushed forward to intervene.

A high authority suggests that M. Bernard's action was perhaps imprudent, for he had with him so many Issas, the blood enemies of the Assaimaras.
