INDIA IRATE

AT BRITISH POLICY ALLEGED BROKEN PROMISES. (United Press Association —Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) CALCUTTA, June 29. A wave of indignation, ii) India, even among those of moderate opinion has greeted Sir S .Iloaro’s statement of the Britidi policy towards India. The main ’criticism is directed at the scrapping of the Round Table Conference, which the Indian.! had hoped would lie the leading instrument in framing a new Constitution. There is no support for the suggestion for Indian representation on a Joint Parliamentary Committee, ns it is felt that representatives of India would have little voice in the final work.

A. 5 an instance cf the public feeling Sir Pbirode Setlnia, a prominent Liberal, decl ired in an interview that Sir S. Houre’s statement lias departed from the original programme, which will tend to accentuate the distrust and resentment. He added that the British Government lifts gone back oil its promises, which had rallied forces throughout tho country in support of the Conference,, procedure, The temper of the country at tho moment is similar to the anger that was, created by the appointment, of the Simon Commission, with no Indian representation.
