THIRTY-THREE KILLED
Situation Grave. (Australian & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received Feb 8 at 11.25 p.m.) DELHI, February 8. Further riots occurred iu Bombay yesterday. The situation is still grave. The First Clicshires, Horn i’oona, were dratted into the city. The total casualties are thirty-three killed and over two hundred injured. A I’athan armed with a knife killetl four Hindus. Many arrests have been made by the military and police. The Legislative Assembly at Delhi gave a second reading of the Public Safety Bill, which was carried by sixty-one votes to fifty. The final vole was undoubtedly influenced by the tragic happenings at Bombay. Clear proof of Communist inspiration in the Colombo riots was given in the Legislature to-day, when the Colonial Secretary made a statement that Labour supporters took no hand in the disturbances, and the polidfired in self defence. He paid a tribute to ths admirable manner in which the police behaved throughout.
