INDIA
MR. LLOYD-GEORGE'S APPEAL. CONSIDERED BY IMPORTANT CONFEBENCE. Received Slay 1, 9.40 p.m. Simla, April 30. Lord Chelmsford opened a conference of representatives of all official departments of the provincial governments and the ruling chiefs to discuss the British Prime Minister's recent appeal to India to redouble her war efforts. He lengthily reviewed the war position and its effect on the East. He said Germany had long cast her eyes eastwards and concentrated her diplomacy on its moral and political capture and hoped the Indian Moslems' allegiance to Britain would be shaken, and so enable her to seem* an unmolested path to the Persian Golf. The Russian revolution had opened the door for Germany through southern Russia to eastern Persia and Afghanistan. India must guard this opwiipg. Lord Chelmsford urged the need for assisting the Amir in maintaining his neutrality, which so far he had unswervingly maintained. He eloquently appealed to the conference to prove that India was not one whit behind any part of the Empire in its determination to win the war. The conference appointed committees to report on the questions of India's man-power and resources.
