Letters to the Editor

GREAT BRITAIN AND INDIA [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] EIR,—I write on behalf of H.H. the Aga Khan, chairman, and the members of the British India Delegation to the Round Table Conference, to express our gratitude to the British public for the kindness and hospitality that have been showered upon us from every direction. It has been our privilege to meet your countrymen from every walk of life, and we have been touched by the universal desire to understand our points of view and to give us fair play. In the matter of our social amenities the ordinary differences of political life did not exist during the memorable weeks we passed in the Metropolis.

Of one result of the Conference there can be no doubt. A sympathetic understanding has been established among the leaders on both sides that will have far-reaching effects on the relations of the two countries in the years to come.

In conclusion may we give our grateful thanks to the Spectator for all that it has done for the Conference? The

hospitality of your columns has been open to every shade of Indian opinion, and your well-informed comments on Indian affairs have been appreciated even by those who did not agree with all that you said.— I am, Sir, &e.,

A. LATITI,
