THE AMRITSAR SHOOTING AFFAIR

STATEMENT BY GENERAL ‘ . CREAGH. » l Received 8.50 am, M LONDON, May 27. General Sir O’l\loore Creagh, Com-mander-in-Chief of the Indian Army. commenting on the Committee’s Arniitsar report, found it would further alienate India, which was seething with sedition and Bolshevism. Every rascal will co-nsirler himself justified in assassination. The committee was formed of estimable gentlemen, but they do not know India. If General Dyer committed a breach of military law, he should have been courtmartialed. General Creagh is convinced the shooting was essential. The. contention that Dyer should have read the Riot, Act was ridiculous. In what language would he have read it? Was the Brigade Commander to summon ip;-ofessionags and have the law trans‘lated. There are hundreds of religions ‘in India, all advocating vengeance. [Forgiveness is next to non-existing. No" doubt the rebels will be told the [British are afraid to shoot them. The people in England are unaware of the _9;oings on in India, but will soon learn The authm-ities, who were informed ought to be left alone. Conciliation was out of the question; -drastic action was essential. A
