GREAT BRITAIN, INDIA, AND THE UNITED STATES
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Here is some news about the recent Round Table Conference which your contemporary Liberty in the United States is disseminating to its more than two million, readers. The extracts I give are taken from the editorial page of the issue of December 20th :- " An ' untouchable ' stood in St. James's Palace in London the other day and touched the fabric of the British Empire. One of the ' unspeakables,' he spoke with a voice that went round the world. His name is Bhimrao Mamji Ambedkar, and his appearance in London means the end of British rule in India. When he stood up among the princes at London and was applauded by them for a powerful, intelligent, and succinct speech opposing British rule, it
meant that the miracle of miracles had:happencd. India at last was speaking with one voice." • .
The writer goes on to describe how Hindus and Mohamme- dans in London " have made common cause and truculently defied British rule." Truly we live in a wonderful world, when Liberty can print such things.—I am, Sir, &c.,
VITA NUOVA.
