INDIAN AFFAIRS
LORD. READING'S WARNING.
The India Ofice has issued the follow ing extracts from the speech delivered by the Earl of Reading at the Chelmsford Club, Simla, last month!---
If India should determine to throw away the money already vspent, and should refuse the great place allotted her "in the exhibition, who would be the sufferert Certainly not England and the Empire, but India, or rather those parts of India which insist upon with drawing. A unique opportunity would be lost of bringing India's products to the notics of England and the Empire, of dis- playing her wonderful resources, and of quickening her development and increas ing the welfare of her people. There is nothing to lose. The cause of Indians gain by a withdrawal, but
You have referred to the new duties of a Viceroy under the present constitutional régime, and have truly said that these involve responsibilities additional to those hitherto placed upon his shoulders. It is, however, not altogether without envy that I look back upon the activities of past Viceroyn-in-the-region of social welfare oferness surely will not gain in strength. of the people.

I know my countrymen, and have no hestation in asserting that these boycotts, whether successful or .un. successful, will completely fail, in their intended effect, but they will convey an impression which will certainly not ad- vance the cause of India. I hope none will be misled. I have but one object in mind it is, if I can, to prevent action which I fear inust have a prejudicial effect, and on the interests and the pro- 8reas of India. Believe me, the better course is to trust to the sense of fair. play and justice which is so strongly marked a characteristic of the British people.
There are occasions when I wonder whether these aspects always remain pre sent to the minds of some who are among the representatives of various shades of Indian political thought. To those who desire the advancement of India along the road mapped out for her these.com- siderations should be of supreme import ance. I do not need to remind those who regrotted the manifestations in 1921-29 of the effect produced upon the British people. The ensuing years between now and 1909 will be of vast moment to the Friends of constitutional government. For this reason, although while deprecat Hindu Moslem situation, but it must be I shall not dwell to-night upon the ing them I am by no means inclined to apparent that the relations between those regard them too seriously, I cannot viewtwo great communities must tend to with complete unconcern the various su; keep India back rather than to urge ber gestions and proposals that have formed forward.

better relations will now ensus, and that the time may not be far distant" when these differences will completely have disappeared. Every true friend of India should assist in composing them, and in fostering harmony to take the place of discord where it exists between the Hindu and the Moslem. Every true friend of India should devote his energies, to promoting unity of the various peoples in India to the end that peace may pre vail, that happiness may casuc, and that band in hand all the peoples of India may march together on the road of pro- gress and attain the great place destined for ber.
A WARNING TO WRECKERS. Doubtless much is said and planned in time of stress and excited controversy regarding future events which may not commend itself in calmer periods. Never theless, it may be useful to pause for a moment and to consider quietly and temperately the consequences if the threatened storm-cloud did make its ap- pearance, and failed to disperse in the sercher atmosphere it would meet in its journey. I refer to the subject to-night because I wish to impress upon those who really cherish the cause of reforms the neccssity of avoiding any course which may encourage those, If there be any, who enter the Assembly for the purpos of wreaking the Constitution, if this purs pose should exist, and be pursued to its end; and let us for a moment assume, with the full, measure of success desired, it would achieve, at its highest realisa tion, paralysis of the reformed, Con- stitution. Please do not misunderstand me: I do not believe that it will happen, for I am convinced that there will be too great a sense of responsibility in the Assembly to permit it; but if it did, every true friend of Indian progress in Parliamentary institutions could not fail to deplore it. Here, indeed, would be a check in the chward march, and severe blow would be dealt in India at the reforms; and what will be gained
I do not pause further to analyse the possible situation, but I must add that,
REJUVENATION,
Dr. STRANDGARD is shortly leaving Vienna for the East, and will visit Hongkong on completion of his In dian Tour in Januzey, for the par- pose of administering THE NEW VITAL GLANDS SERUM to a limited number of patients. This rejuvenating serum has been ad- ministered with marvellous results in London Paris, Vienes and Berlin. Application, strictly confidential, to: DR. STRANDGARD, HOTEL TAJ MAHAL BOMBAY,

even if this crisis did arise, certainly BOWERN & CO., would not paralyse Government, for you may rest assured that we shall be pre- pared to meet the situation. The Gov ernment of the country will be continued; the administration will be carried on as heretofore, save that the reformed Con- stitution will be in abeyance. If this should happen, I leave you to imagine the effect upon the British people and their representatives in Parliament, and upon those who have persistently striven for the institution of representativo gov
erriment..
In this connection "I would also draw attention to the proposals for India's withdrawal from the Empire Exhibition, and for the boycott of British goods. I am well aware of the wave of strong feeling that caused many public men to express themselves emphatically and even vehemently upon the Kenya decision of the Imperial Government. My Govern ment's views are well known; they have been published, and there is nothing to add to the opinion then formulated. We analysed the result of the, White Paper and sought to balance our gains and loases. Comparing the results of the final decision with those of the original pronouncement I canno, but think that, in the public agitation, too scant atten tion has been paid to the gaing, which are by no means inconsiderable, as we demonstrated in the Government resolu tion.
IMMIGEXTION PROBLEM. Since the decision we have been in communication with the Secretary of State, and in the result we have received an assurance from him in relation to the future rules affecting immigration that. when the proposals have been submitted to the Colonial Office, the Secretary of State will be consulted, and will give us the fullest opportunity to represent pur views before he makes reply. You may be certain that the Government of India realise the vital importance of the im migration question, but I am troubled by those boycott proposals, not because of the material results that may be achie ved, but again because of the effect, that will be produced upon the British public and upon Parliament,
