LORD IRWIN, ON MISTAKEN POLITICAL IDEALS.

FIVE DEAD IN RIOT.

New Delhi, Apr. 1. Replying to an address by the Shiah community, the Viceroy of India alluded to the civil disobedience campaign and said it was a tragedy that men were constantly asked to believe that a political typhoon, rooting up and destroying the country side, was necessary before the sun could shine and that a coun- try could reach its rightful destiny only through the agency of convulsion.

The Viceroy welcomed an as- surance that the Shiahs stood for

orderly progress towards self Gov-

ernment and that they disassociated

themselves from civil disobedience --Reuter,
