RESTORATION OF ORDER
QUESTIONS IN COMMONS LONDON, Feb. 13
“The Government has not yet received a report from the Governor ot Bengal. Mr. R. G. Casov, on the situation in Calcutta at present or of the total casualties.” said the Under-Secre-tary to India. Mr. Arthur Henderson, in flic House of Commons. Mr. Casey had told the Government that the disturbances had reached a pitch at which it was impossible to restore and maintain order with the available civil resources and he. accordingly, authorised the importation of strong military forces.
Lord Winterton: Isn’t it clear that some of the reasons for these riots was the sentence imposed—some think it was a licht sentence—on a former member of the Indian National Army who betrayed a million colleagues and who was an associate of murderers and torturers in the Japanese Army. Mr. Henderson said he would give a more detailed statement after a further report from Mr. Casey.
