B.C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1930 DOMINION PREMIERS AT Great Round Table Conference With India Formally Opened By Kjng George; Bennett Has Place LONDON, Nov. 12: India turned a new and fateful page in her momentous history today.

It was ilich a scene as not even Westminster had witnessed before. East'and west met on common ground. The clashing races, castes and, creeds that make up vast and mysterious India, met in common purpose.

It was a scene that symbolized the vastness and variety of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Juft behind the ruling princes sat Premier Bennett of Canada and the premiers of the other Dominions. "More than once," King George said," the sovereign has summoned historic assemblies to the soli of England, but never befci; have British and Indian statesmen and rulers of Indian states met as you now meet In one place and around table to discuss the future system of the government of India and to seek agreement for the guidance of my Parliament." "We have met to try to register by agreement a recognition of the fact that Indl3 has reached a distinctive point In constitutional evolution," Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald said. The Maharajah of Kashmir declared the Indian princes stood solidly by the British connection. "Neither England nor India," he declared. can afford to see this conference end in failure."
