THE MONTAGU INCIDENT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Delhi, April 8. In a -speech at Peshawar, Lord Reading announced that the Home Government had informed him there was no question of impropriety, either personal or on behalf of the Indian Government regarding the telegram which resulted in Mr. Montagu’s resignation. Lord Reading stated that he realised the publication might affect the Internationa 1 situation, and therefore asked the assent of his Majesty’s Government. “His Majesty’s Government declared that not only was my Government entitled to keep them in England acquainted with Moslem sentiments and. to impress them as forcibly as we could, but also that my Government acted with constitutional propriety in requesting the asset of His Majesty’s Government to the publication and through the proper channel of communication, the Secretary of State. ’ This speech finally dispels all rumors that Lord Reading’s resignation is involved.
