LOUD-GU KOH ON THE POLICY OF
· LORD · KITORENSE.
Lord Carson made a remarkable attack in the House of Lords recently on the policy of con centrating too mush work and responsibility in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief in India. Although he deolared that he made no attack on Lord Kitchenar, his speech was an indictment of the policy Lord Kitchener has steadily pur. ened in India. He declared that during the last four years "great and startling changes have been introduced into the military adminis tration of India."
Lord Carson referred to the appointment of
Sir O'Moore Creagh as Lord Kitchener's suc семот, and said:-
"You are going to concentrate in the hands of one man in Indis not merely the executive control of the ray, but also its patronage, its organisation, its equipment, ita inspection, its preparation for war, and all the business of dance and administration which is ordinarily discharged by the War Offce. There is no one in history, ezoept a Napoleon who could boar such a weight."
