Governor of Punjab Promises
Severe Action,
SYMPATHY ALIENATED
(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 11.30 a.in.) DELHI, March 7. Severe comment on the methods of Indian agitators was made by Sir Geoffrey Montmorency, Governor of the Punjab, when addressing Europeans. He emphasised that he will take every step in his power to discharge the primary duty of maintaining law and order.
He said that the sordid personal ambitions of the leaders, their unlawful movements and their misrepresentation and exaggeration were such prominent, unsavoury features that all sympathy for them had been alienated.
