AWARDING.
PLAIN SPEAKING BY MR ASQUITH.
United Press Association-(sy Electric Telegraph Copyriffht. LONDON, June 18. Replying in the House of Commons to questions by Messrs H. F. Lynch (Ripon), J. C. Wedgwood (Newcastle-undei-Tyne), F. C. Mackarnebs (Newbury), and others, the Prime Minister firmly upheld the action of the Government of India in connection with the recent deportations of Indians for bomb outrages and seditious writings. Mr Asquith declared that the Imperial Government would not countenance attempts to amend the regulation of 1818. Any effort to mitigate its stnctness~would deprive it of its value as a deterrent, and render it a jess effective instrument against anarchial and terrorist conspiracy. The Prime Minister warned the questioners that by constantly raising discussions they were encouraging a revival of the elements of mischief in India, which the deportation had done so much to abate.
