SELF-RULE FOR INDIA
Address By Viceroy RUGBY, February 17. Lord Wnvell made his first political pronouncement as Viceroy of India, addressing a joint session of both Houses of the Legislature. “We are bound in justice, honour, and the interests of progress to hand over India to any Indian rule which can maintain the peace, order, and progress we have endeavoured to establish,” he said. We should take some risk to further this, he said. But he could not see any immediate hope of progress till the two main parties eame to terms. He knew that the British people and Government had a genuine desire to see India enjoying unqualified self-givernment as a willing partner in the Commonwealth.
