Those in Great Britain who sympathize most warmly with the idea of India attaining at the earliest possible moment the status of any of the other great dominions of the Crown will find the ground cut from under their feet if British opinion ever becomes convinced that so-called dominion status was valued by India only as a stepping-stone to a complete severance of her connection with the British Commonwealth...
