I have the following information which I consider it my
duty as a British subject to bring to your notice.
552
One Sikh named Ishar Singh in Hankow is receining a publica-
tion from Paris entitled or named the Indian Socialogist edited by one named Shymagi Krisma Verna formerly a Prime Minister in Baroda and who was deported from India owing to preaching sedi-
tion. This publication is in English and is being translated into
Gurmukhi at the instance of Ishar 3ingh and given to the Sikh
community at Hankow and my informant says that there are at pre-
sent copies thus translated in the Sikh church at Hankow
My informant also says that a large majority of the
Sikhs are being told that a revolution against British rule is being organised.

Yesterday my informant was invited and want with three ■
others to Isher Singh's house or quarters in Tha Ching Kai Geruan
Concession and after being treated to drinks was told by Ishar
Singh that "we must do something" and asked him to join them and
was told he would be given an answer next week..
It is a very easy matter to produce my informant, who also
states that Sikh watchmen are being induced to leave their agloy-
ment in lankov (to join the ship now on its way to Vancouver R.S.P
Thinking this might be of interest to you I am placing it before
you.
I have the honour to be ato.
J.R.Broadley.
