THE INDIAN DANGER
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—A letter by F. R. B. under the above heading in your issue of July 20th is written no doubt, with a sense of responsi- bility, but may I be allowed to state that the fears of the writer are the result of a biassed standpoint ? I suggest he reads a recent book by an American, Dr. J. T. Sunderland, M.A., under the title India in Bondage ; Her Right to Freedom, where all his statements against the granting of " Dominion status within the British Commonwealth of Nations " are answered—but from a wider and less biassed viewpoint, i.e., " that no nation is good enough to rule another " (Abraham Lincoln).
Sir, India's claim is a just claim, and let it not be forgotten that His Majesty the King in 1921 proclaimed " The beginning of Swaraj within my Empire."—I am, Sir, &c.
A. G. PAPE. (Author of The Politics of the Aryan Road, &c.)
