FAREWELL TO INDIA

Retiring Viceroy's Gratitude

New Delhi, April 8.

Lord Willingdon, retiring Viceroy

of India, and one of Great Bri- tain's greatest statesmen,

bade farewell to House and Assembly to-day for the last time.

The House was crowded but the members of the Congress Party were absent.

Lord Willingdon, speaking mov- ingly, deplored the discourtesy shown him by the Congress Party as the representative of the King- Emperor, but, apart from this, he said, he was leaving India with happy memories.

He expressed gratitude for the assistance given him by the Assembly and his confidence that peace and properity would crown the future of India,

The increasing unemployment of educated Indians.. he went on, he deeply regretted. This trouble should be attacked at its source and ways devised in education whereby Indian youths would be- come acre fitted for the work available in their country.
