EX-VICEEOY ON INDIA. LORD CURZON'S PROTESTS. Received 23, 12.45 a.m. London, February 22. Lord Curzon, in the House of Lords, raised a debate on the removal of the capital to Delhi, saying the step was taken on the initiative of a Viceroy who 'had only been in India a few months, and without consultation of those responsible for the Government of India. For twenty-five years not a single representative body in India favored the policy. He feared the removal of the capital was more serious for the country than to retain it in Calcutta. It was not desirable from a military standpoint, and also there was danger of making the Government more bureaucratic. He condemned the new policy in Bengal.
Lord Crewe said the Government had not departed from precedent in submitting the changes to Parliament. Without deprecating Calcutta, all knew that the Government carried on there for a short period of the year, and the rest of the year at Simla. The benefits of changing tb* oapital were greater than the damage sustained. '
