INDIAN BUDGET DISCUSSED.
LIBERAL AMENDMENT DEFEATED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Rcc. July 27, 11.15 p.m.) London, July 27. The Indian Budget statement has been delivered in tho House of Commons by* Mr. E. S. Montagu, Under-Secretary for India. Mr. Montagu declared that new taxation was necessary owing to a deficit of ,£750,000, due to tho non-expansion of several services on the revenue side, and to increased expenditure on education. The Government proposed to augment tho Customs duties on liquors and to increase the duties on silver, petroleum, tobacco, and stamps. ■ Referring to the unrest in India, h? said a small minority only was concerned,' and there had been a considerable revulsion of feeling in our favour. This was due largely to horror at the assassinations. The Indian Government was determined to arm and assist tho Viceroy in an unflinching war against sedition and calumny. An amendment by Mr. J. C. Wedgwood (Liberal) disavowing sympathy with crime, but deploring the recent restrictive legislation in India, was negatived by 229 votes to 48.
