THE CHOSEN IN INDIA.
“Tlie choice before us,” states tile '“New Statesman,” “as we see it, is this. Either we must propound a new constitution which the reasonable elements in. the body of Indian nationalism. will accept, or we must prepare to control the country in the teeth of active as well as passive opposition. Sooner or later this will lead to the hreaKclown of peaceful government and the rule of the sword. Who can contemplate that with equanimity ? And which of us, Britain or India, would have to give way in the end? But if it is to be the other choice, then the facts—including psychological facts —must be faced, and no stone must be left unturned to make the Round Table Con-, ference a reality. That means a conference in which the report of the Simon Commission will indeed be treated with all the respect that it deserves, but will not be pat bn the table as our last word to India.’”
