EXPERT ON INDIA.
Lesbos, May 22nd. In the House of Commons, Mr. E, S. Montage, during the debate on the Indian Judget, dwelt on India's bright position in the world.
He referred to her splendid military material and war efforts which had won her a place in the international discus- siers equal to the British Dominions, and granter than that of any power in the world except the Big Five.
He expressed the opinion that India's entry into the. League of Nations and the. International Labour organisation, also the place occupied by Lord Sinha, com- mitted Parliament to the view that this position was only justified if we could raise India to the position of a sister pation of the Empire. It was wholly inconsistent with the position of sub- ordination,
In the course of some remarks in regard to the disturbing economic factora, Mr. Montagu said that one of the factors
was influenza. from which between
6,000,000 and 6.000.000 died last winter and from which at least two-thirds of the ponulation suffered.
The Mahommedan world was perplexed by the discussions regarding the fate of Turkey.
Mr. Montagu strongly defended the Rowlatt Acts which, he naserted, were necessary to cope with men with whom any kind of Government must deal, and who were a danger to any country.
The Government of India was deter mined to do unceasing battle against such men, until they were extirpated. The Rowlatt Acts were only used to cope with peunle associated with the anarchical and revolutionary movement, whose dangerous ethods in the past now necessitated drastic legislativo measures.
Ho reassured his Mahommedan fellow subiects that no one in Paris was ever so foolish as to want to interfere in purely Mahommedan questions.
Mr. Montagu announced that the Indian Reform-Bill would be introduced it the beginning of June."
nd this was now being ensured with ayal and military assistance.
