MAIDEN SPEECH.

"WISE, BRILLIANT AND ELOQUENT.”

London, July 7. The debate in the House of Commons on the House of Lords reform was marked by a brilliant maiden speech by the novelist,

Mr. John Buchan.

Speaking on behalf of a section of the Conservative Party, he urged that the Lord Chancellor's scheme of reform must be got out of the road before any serious reform could be undertaken, be- Cause it

Was impracticable, wrong and dangerous in prin- ciple, also a contradiction of the fundamentals of the Conservative creed.

His name will always be asso- ciated with the Amritsar shooting affair. It may be recalled that there was general uneasiness in India following the termination of the war and considerable dis.. orders in Calcutta were not sup- were pressed until the military called in.

They flamed up in the Panjab where the chief centre was at Amritsar. There, on April 10, 1919, two men prominently con- nected with the agitation, Dr. Kitchlew and Dr. Satyapal, were placed under preventive deten- tion. The mob thereupon march- ed on the civil station and was turned back by fire. It imme- dintely entered upon a course of arson and murder.

The railway goods yard was attacked, and Guard Robinson was murdered, the National Bank was fired and the manager, Mr. Stewart, and the assistant man- ager, Mr. Scott murdered. The. Chartered Bank was attacked, but the officers escaped: the Alliance Bank was attacked and. the manager was murdered.

Mob Fired On.

A lady doctor, Miss Sherwood, was brutally beaten. The mob secured practical possession of the city, and on April 13 a large pro- claimed meeting was Held in an enclosure called the Jallianwallah Bagh. This was fired on by the military under the orders of Brigadier Geneal Dyer, and up- wards of 2,000 casualties inflict- ed, of whom various estimates place the killed at between 300. and 400.

These events caused much dis- cussion in India and the Imperial Government ordered an inquiry. General Dyer was reprimanded and punished by the Secretary of State. In the course of subse- quent judicial proceedings arising out of a libel action the General was vindicated, but for a long time public resentment at the inactivity of Government to take any action to this end ran very. high.
