INDIA.
THE PRESS BILL.
PARDONED SEDITIONISTS.
By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright
London, February 11,
A Reuter's message states' that the Government of India is entirely responsible for the release of the deported. The decision was partly owing to the native communities' proof of loyalty materially assisting the passing of the Press Act, and partly to the improved condition of the country. During the Press' Bill debate in the Legislative Council the Maharajah of Burdalan declared that educated minds in India were perplexed at the. adoption of measures against sedition there, when members of the House of Commons and a leader of the Labor Party were allowed to say the time had come for the Crown to go into the meltingpot. The Maharajah insisted that socialism ought not to be allowed to enter India. An attempt to make the Bill- operative for only three years was defeated by 42 to IG. Calcutta, February 11. Some of the deported Indians who were recently released have arrived m Calcutta. They were received by a procession singing extremists' songs and shouting "Gande Maratram." The repatriated include Mitter, editor of the Sanjabhani, and were welcomed bv Arabindo Ghoso.
