INDIAN PROBLEM.
SERIOUS situation; (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 14. “The state of India to-day is serious. Wliat is happening is only adding to the difficulties, and is not advancing India’s chance of reaching Dominion status.” The foregoing declaration was made by the Prime Minister, Mr Ramsay MacDonald, when referring to the situation in India, in the course of his speech at the Crystal Palace. “The men'with whom we wish to cooperate have had to be arrested for actions which, if they themselves had been responsible for a purely Indian Government, faced with conditions such as those they have created recently, would have compelled the arrest of the people responsible for those conditions. The whole of this is a melancholy thing which is unnecessary and foolish. Men who are going to be Governors of States and responsible for administration ought to look ahead and understand the conditions under which alone evolution and change are possible.” NtNE HINDUS KILLED. DELHI, July 14. _ An outbreak of disorder occurred in the Wymensingh area of Bengal East, resulting in nine Hindus being killed. Extensive looting took place. The police fired on several gangs of desperate hooligans. Fifty additional armed police have been drafted from Dacca.
