LORD READING EXPLAINS.
"WONT FOLLOW MONTAGU. (Received 0 a.m I DELHI, April 9. The Governor-General of India (Lord Reading) in a speech at Peshawar, announced that the British Government had informed him that there was no question of impropriety either as far as he was personally concerned or the i Indian Government was concerned, regarding the telegram which resulted in the resignation of the Indian Secretary (Mr. E.S.Montagu). Lord Reading stated that he realised that the publication might affect the international situation and he therefore asked the assent of His Majesty's Government. "'His Majesty's! Government," continued Lord Reading, "declared that not only was my Government entitled to keep them in England acquainted with "Moslem sentiments and impress them as forcibly as we could, but also that my Government acted with constitutional propriety in requesting His Majesty's Government to assent to publication through the. uroper channel of communication, the Secretary of State for India." This speech finally disposes of all the rumours" to the effect that Lord Reading's resignation was involved in the re-sin-nation of Mr. Montagu.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
