INDIA'S NEAR EAST VIEWS.
DISPATCE STARTIES LONDON:
CABINET NOT CONSULTED:
MONTAGE'S RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
LONDON, March 9.
On the eve of the assembling of the conference in Paris to settle Near Eastern questions, London has been startled by the publication in Delhi of a despatch from the Indian Government to Mr. Montagu, Secretary for India, requesting modification of the Treaty of Sevres and specifying the concesions to be made to Turkey.
A further sensation was caused in the afternoon when Mr. Austen Chamberlain announced that Mr. Montage, who sanctioned publication without consulting his coll ages, had designed and that his resignation had been accepted.
COMMONS QUESTIONS. -
LONDON, March 9.
In the House of Commons, Lient-Col Aubrey Herbert asked whether the Imperial or the Indian Government approved of the publication of the latter's despatch specifying modifications of the Treaty of Sevtrs. Mr. Austen Chamberlain said that the telegram from Delhi was published by the Indian Government with the sauction of Mr. Montagu, Secretary for ludia Foothe minister had been consulted. Mr. Chamberlain abstained from commenting on the matter. The tale gram a thousand times rxceded even the demands of the warmest friends of the Turks. Publication of such a prozouncement without consultation with or the consent of the Cabinet had raised a dificult question all the more important because we were on the eve of the conference in Paris when there samed a prospect of laying the basis for peace between the Turks and Greeks. The Government was unable to reconcile poklication of the telegram on the sole responsibility of Mr. Montagu with the collective responsibility of the Cabinet or with the duty all the governments of the empire-oved to each o her in matters of imperial concern.
BLOW TO UNITY.
Mr. Chamberlain, said that such independent declarations destroyed the unity of policy vital in foreign affairs and gravely imperilled the saccess of the impending negotiations. Mr. Montagu i al tendered his resignation-floud and prolonged chcers)- and the King had approved its acceptance, but when the Foreign Secretary proceeded to Paris to discuss the Eastern settlement with the foreign ministers of France and Italy it would be his object to arrive at a solution equitable to all parties. He would give die weight to the opinion of Indian Mohammedans, as expressed by the Government of India, but could not held himself dows to accept any solution submitted by that govern
ment.
In the curse of 'the ensuing short debate, M Chamberlain said Le was unable to promise a day for discussion.

The Daily Herald declares the Sevres treaty must Se scrapped and a really national conference of Indians convoked with perhaps representatives of the British and Dominions parliaments with a view to granting genaire self-governmezt,
INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.
The Morning Post says the despatch is a plain hint That Indian anrest must be slayed by changes in imperial policy elsewhere. If such an attitude continues the British Empire will not last very long.
The Daily Chrovicle writes that as trustees, not merely of India, bat of South-Eastern Europe and the Christian populations of the Near Fast, in addition to our international engagements, we cannot accept sug- gestions from the Indian Government as they stand. India must not aspire to rights greater than this en joyed by any demition.
The Daily Telegraph says this remarkable document is almost pro-Turkish in is eagerness to allay the grow- ing alienation of the Mohammedan minority and challenge the Imperial Government's entire policy in the near and Middle East which was settled in conjune- tion with Paris and Rome. The document does pot inspire confidence in the wisdom and firmness of the Reading administration which has alread. unsuccessful- overcome disaffection by sectional" con- y tried to

Mr. Hughes, Secretary of State, in a note to the Italian Ambassador, Signor Ricci, with regard to Génos emphasises the United States' been desire for economic rebsbilitation of Europe.
