THE INDIAN CHANGES.
Kir Andrew Eraser, who was Lieuten-ant-Governor of Bengal from 1903-8, says of the recent changes in Indian administration, in an article in the "British Weekly":"It must be borne in mind that while the procedure adopted may bo regarded ns anomatans in England, it is precisely the kind of procedure which would to the Oriental mind f»om most natural. Undoubtedly, the Government took serious responsibility in advising his Majesty to announce these changes; but if these changes were to be made, it was well that thev should bo nui'lfl at once. "It seems niiite ridiculous to faiopore that the commerce of Calcutta will be in any way affected by the change, especially as'there will now be a Governor in that city: and it may bo hoped that tho?o who have any feeling of disappointment in rcSRJct of local and personal interest l ; will show more loyalty and more calmuiisfi than those- whose agitation against the old partition of Bengal they themselves eo justly and vigorously denounced."
