INDIA PROPOSALS.
DIEHARD AMENDMENTS LOST. MANY CONSERVATIVE VOTES AGAINST GOVERNMENT. LONDON, April 10. In the House of Commons the Government's mapority fell to the lowest since it attained office, on a Diehard amendment seeking to exclude four members of the Ministry from the House of Commons representation on the Joint . Committee on India. Captain H. F. C. Cruickshank, Mr Winston Churchill, Sir Henry PageCroft (Conservatives), and their supporters claimed that the Ministerial policy would be too strongly represented on the committee, and would prevent impartiality. The amendment was defeated by 209 to 118 votes, the minority including 80 Conservatives, who voted in response to the special "Diechard Whip." A further series of Diehard amendments were rejected, and the appointment of committees _as named was carried without division.
