"CRUELTY AND OPPRESSION."
PERTURBATION IN INDIA. APPEAL TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT. ("Tij»ee"-Srdßey "Sun" Special Cab!*) CALCUTTA, November 21. The South African Committee at Bombay, m a message to the Viceroy, after referring to what it describes as "measures of cruelty and oppression which no foreign Government would dare to enforce against British subjects," apprehends that if bloodshed occurs in Natal the effect on Indian sentiment will prove disastrous, being calculated to seriously imperil faith in Britain's goodwill towards the Indian people.
The committee beseeches the Imperial Government to exercise its veto on the African law.
The newspaper "Statesman" says the dignified course would be for the Indians to withdraw from a. country where they are not wanted.
The newspaper "Bengalee" euggests that the Government of India should stop the purchase of South African coal which is stained with tho blood of their countrymen.
