VICEROY DISAPPOINTED.
.CONCESSIONS .;.., INADEQUATE.
SIMLA, July 30.
At the prorogation of the session of the Indian Legislature, the Viceroy, Lord Reading, alluded to the British Government's : decision regarding the ' status of Indians in Kenya, which he said came to him'and to the Indian Government as a. great and severe disappointment. While fully appreciating the British Government's efforts for an equitable settlement, he regretted !■ that more concessions to • the Indian settlers had riot been made. Lord Reading said that the Reciprocity Bill, which the. Assembly ■ had passed, was not objectionable in itself, but at the present moment it was unfortunate because retaliation might have an effect opposite to that desired. He. urged legislators to- influence -the electors in favour of the reforms, against the efforts of "those who were bent upon the destruction of the new councils. . ; The retention of the Government's emergency powers was essential, especially at the present stage of constitutional development, but happily their use had been rare. .•'.,■',.
