INDIAN PRINCE’S CONDUCT.
fVI R- KEIR KARDIE IN TIONREFERS TO KING AS INDIA'S OPPRESSOR. [UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT ] (Received January 7, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 6. Mr Keir Hardie, writing to the newspaper “Welsh Pioneer,’' cays _ that many of the Gaekwar of Baroda's fellow rulers have been taught to grovel before the throne, as becomes all on approaching such a symbol of imbecility. The Gaekwar, with his American traditions, kept erect, and turned his back on the King, remembering that man’s eyes are in front-, and he was not skilled in the art of walking like a crab. It was difficult to see- what else he could have done. Historians, he said, will depict the Gaekwar as the one significant figure at the Durbar, and not the King and Emperor going through his little part like a wellpainted automaton. The Gaekwar calmly did all that was required of him as a gentleman, but always rememberin,cr Ins country was in the dnst, refused to kiss the' foot of the oppressor.
