I INDIA NOT READY FOR HOME RULE This Is Opinion Bf Native Ruler Now in Canada Montreal, Nov. 10. «= The round table conference on Indian self government is not a failure and will not be; it will result in the finding of some agreeable solution. The extremists will probably lessen their demands to meet with those of the moderate indian Nationalists. These are the opinions of the Maharajahira Bahadur of Bur- dwan, senior Hindu prince of the great and rich estate of Bengal, and descendant of a long line of rulers who have controlled the destinies of the 1,000,000 people of Burdwan since the days of the Mogul Emperors, The Maharaja, well over mx feet tall, enormously broad- shouldered and with a physique that made one think of a foot- ball back, arrived at the Windsor station this morning. He is to speak on Sunday night to the I'eople's Forum on questions of India's political problems and Soviet Russia's threat to the In- dian. Empire. He was willing enough to dis- cuss the Indian problem in the few minutes that the reporters were wit him, And he did so with a fofce of expression and a choice of English which indicat- ed his mastery of the tongue. Unwise to Weaken "My « point of view is that the cent ity in India must not be weak- ened," he declared, without men- tioping that this is also the point of view of most of the Indian princes, "It is too early yet to rive full power to those elected o the Houses," He referred to the fact that even now the central Govern- ment had only a few things to administer, but that"each one of was of great importance to a8 a whole, and that ft suffer if the central aua- lost its power. t has it,' he said, "but the railways, the customs, the fi- Would ft be wise to hand over the control these .things to party politi- clang of the type we have at pre- think not,. I think it would thority of governmental author- | would be most unwise." Provincial autonomy, with some control of the actions of the Houses maintained in the hands of provincial governors, through their appointment of ministers from outside the ranks of the elected representatives, would provide the solution of In- diaz moves for self-government for many years to come, in the opinion of the Maharaja. "This would, of course, be with a corresponding control of the two proposed Chambers of the Central Government at Delhi, achieved also by the appointment of ministers or members of what you would here call the Senate, by the Governor-Gener- al," he explained. Voting Restrictions The ruler of Burdwan was pro- foundly distrustful of any claims that there should be a fully rep- resentative government in India at once. "You can't very well do it," he doclared. "Our average standard of education is too low, or rather, the mass of our people is too ig- ° norant to use the vote with au thing lke discretion. "We have already a wide mea- sure of suffrage. It is true that it is not the manhood suffrage you have here in Canada -- we have certain standards of educa- tion and property ownership which have to be met by the voter." -- Two Cars Smash Port Hope.--Two cars were damaged in an accident at the corner of Ridout street and Ti ronto Road in a collision between a car driven Montreal,. and a second cax driven by J.
