INDIAN PROBLEM.
IMMENSE AND COMPLEX. SIR JOHN SIMON HOPEFUL. (UJHTBD PRESS ASSOCIATION— BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) (Received April loth, 11 p.m.) LONDON, April 14. "The chief thing we learned in our preliminary survey of the Indian problem is its immensity and complexity, said Sir John Simon on returning to London with the other commissioners. He believed much good had resulted from the visit as he was satisfied it would have been impossible to undertake the main task without first looking round. » Sir John Simon pointed out that their task was not to reach decisions but to interpret the Indians' feelings and hopes for the information of Parliament. Undoubtedly the boycott had weakened and they were now assured of the goodwill and co-operation of important sections of the Indian public. He was confident that the sympathy would spread to many Indian politicians, including some supporting the boycott, who knew in their hearts that the boycott was useless as a political instrument. The commissioners' offer to work on equal 'terms with the Indian committees in joint conference still stands. —Australian Press Association, United Service.
