Moral Disarmament of Parties
doncerned.
Rugby, July 10. No division took place in the debate on India in the House of Commous fast night.
During the later speeches Sir Samuel Hoare, referring to the work of the Round Table Confer ence, urged that the complicated difficulties that had confronted them be faced, if possible, by the three parties together, although it
to maintain might not, in future, be possible that co-operation, Moslems and Cleavage between Hindus was not of the kind which could be bridged by a paper com- promise, or by political expedients, but only by a moral disarmament of the parties directly concerned, and a moral disarmament "could only be brought if there was at the back of it a feeling of greater Security, particularly with the minorities concerned. He, there fore, emphasised that the Secretary of State should make it, oven clearer than he had done before that whatever might be the peli. tical arrangeinents of the future," proper safeguards of minorities were in no way going to be ignor ed. All would like to see this bitterness alloyed." They had no wish to place, any obstacle in the way of any further discussion, but he was afraid that, try as they would, with the best goodwill jä the world, it would be found, when they came to renew the detailed discussion of these constitutional questions,
> bitterness communal would enter into every detail, of the discussion and that though they might not wish it, it would block advance in every direction. He would, therefore, appeal to his Indian friends and put it to them, that unless they could in some rea sure allay the bitterness. that had become so great in recent months, it would be extraordinarily difficult. to matre 'any advance when their discussions were renewed in the autumn.
A Warm Welcome Assured, ·
Mr. Wedgwood Benn, Secretary for India, replying on the debate said there would be a warm wel- come for Fir Samuel Hoare's state. ment that the position of his party in reference to the Round Table Conference, stood unimpaired. If it was necessary to re-emphasize that safeguards for minorities would be introduced into any constitutional reforms he was quite willing to do
