...First India Round Table Conference that they were willing to enter an All-India Federation with the plebeian native states (TIME, Dec. 1, 1930). Two more India Round Table Conferences left up in the air the crux of the whole business: Saint Gandhi's demand for "Dominion Status" (TIME, Jan. 2, 1933). Finally the National Government smothered India's aspiration to rank beside Canada with a revised Federalization program called the White Paper.

Dominion officials felt that His Majesty's third son should see it, barely got him into Government House before the flood burst...
...Canadian Big Business that Mr. Stevens wrote and distributed three months ago, weighted with his authority as Minister of Trade and Commerce, Chairman of the Royal Commission on Price Spreads and Mass Buying and an avowedly Conservative member of Parliament. It loosely and libelously arraigns Canada Packers Ltd., Dominion Securities Corp., Robert Simpson Co., Sir Joseph Flavelle, Imperial Tobacco Co., and T.
