BY BRITISH PREMIER. • LONDON, December 28. “The whole situation is a most deplorable* one,” said Mr Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Minister when commenting on the renewed Indian disorders. Cft is very hard when the Government has given greater proof than its predecessors of a readiness, in conjunction with Indian leaders, f to agree to a very large. broadening of freedom, that exponents of violence and disorder should have dashed the offered cup from India’s tips, The recent events do not represent a baffled and oppressed India struggling to oc free, but a mischievous movement trampling upon Indian progress. Every (Indian caring for lus Motherland must see therein the hand of mischief, instead of the spirit of emancipation."
