The Aga Khan, the spiritual head of - reilliong of Indiarr Moslems,

has offered a note of warning to the British electorate in an interesting article which appeared in the Sunday Express. He warns the British people against the perils of a policy of drift in India. The general tenor of the article is very similar to that of the writer which appeared in the Spectator five or six weeks ago. The Aga Khan believes that the main obstacle to better relations between our two countries is the -widespread impression that India has a step-motherly government in London from which her interests get full play only when there are no other interests nearer home for the authorities in Whitehall to consider. Certainly the scanty attendance at the Indian debate in the House of Commons last week was scandalous and justifies the aspersions made concerning the British lack of interest in Indian affairs.
