INDIAN UNREST.
LLOYD GEORGE’S STIRRING SPEECH By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Delhi, Sept. 8. The Multan tension is still acute, but further trouble is not anticipated. Leading Hindus and Mohammedans are cooperating with the authorities to restore confidence to the masses. Police and military still occupy the city. The latest casualties are four killed, three missing, and a hundred grievously hurt. The whole of the first day in the Legislative Assembly was devoted to a discussion on Mr. Lloyd George’s speech on India and the Civil Service. It is a long time since a Home speech so stirred the whole of India. Indian members generally resented the description of the reforms'as an experiment, also the Premier's threatening and warning. A resolution was proposed that the Indian Government send Home a strong note of protest against the Premier’s remarks. It was, in effect, a vote of censure on the British Government and Parliament, but prominent members of the House stigmatised the proposal as harmful and likely to alienate British opinion, consequently the resolution was negatived. Mr. W. H. Hughes’ letter to Mr. Sastri was read out and received with satisfaction and applause.—Times.
