Indian Trade Delegates Show Friendly Attitude

Geneva, May 1.

The tariffs and preference_negotiations between the Indian and Britisk delegations here, which are believed to be on the point of starting, have some interesting fea. tures.

Contrary to certain London predictions that India would have to make two sets of tariff agreements at Geneva, one set for a united India and the other for a divided India, it can be categorically stated that the Indian delegation is negotiating on the basis of a united India only..

The three rensons for this line are that negotiating on a double basis would be impracticabln: that of two alternatives. the presumption of a united India is more reasonable and more probable, and that if it proves wrong it will be for those who fail to reach unity to untie the tariff knots together with all other knots, later.
