INDIAN PROBLEMS

SIGNS OF WAZIRISTAN SETTLEMENT
(Received September 14, 12.45 a.m.)
Simla, September 13.
The Viceroy, the Marquess of Linlithgow, delivering a speech from the golden throne at the joint session of the Central Legislature, said there were distinct signs of a settlement with Waziristan and of the tribesmen accepting the moderate terms imposed. The British Government, he added, was considering the reorganisation and re-equipment of the Indian Army. Turning to constitutional problems, the Viceroy emphasised the necessity of a strong central Government capable of formulating economic policies affecting the interests of India as a whole. He was confident the achievement of the federation of British Indiit native States would modify the disparity in their economic conditions. The Congress Party boycotted the speech and did not attend Parliament.
