INDIA'S NEW CAPITAL.
HOUSE OF LORDS' DEBATE ENDS. By Teleeraph-Press Areoclatlon-Copyrleht (Rec. February 23, 9.40 p.m.) London, February 23. In the House of Lords yesterday the debate initiated by Lord Curzon on the transfer of tho capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi, was continued. Lord Minto, jrko was Viceroy of India from 1905 to 1910, said the Government did not appreciate the grave issues involved in removing the capital. Lord Ampthill (formorly Governor of Madras) attributed Lord Curzon's action in raising a dobate on the change to his resentment at what he considered the reversal of his policy. Lord Mprjey, Lord President of the Council, said it was clear that the Government had satisfied public opinion in India, where the proposals had been warmly received. Lord Curzon's remarks had not been justified from his authority and experience of India. Lord Lansdowne, Leader of the Opposition in tho House, said that many here and in India had grave doubts as to tlio wisdom of tho new policy, but once avoided upon they should do nothing to interfere with its success. The matter then dropped.
