INDIA COMMITTEE
WARM WORDS IN LORDS ATTACK ON GOVERNMENT LONDON, April 11 In the House of Lords to-day, before approval of the names of its members on the joint committee on India was given, there were heated passages between the Earl of Halsbury and Viscount Hailsham. The former declared that the views of the committeemen were known beforehand and there was bound to be a Government majority. Viscount Hailsham, for the Government, Replied that Lord Halsbury's attack was an insult to the Government and to the members of the committee. Nobody else believed for a moment that the Government woidd in any way trick the House. Lord Halsbury: It seems that the Government has brought the traditions of low class attorneys into the atmosphere of the House of Lords. He added: " I will not withdraw a word. The tricks have been adopted by the Government, not by me. It. has deliberately chosen a committee on which a majority for its policy will be a certainty." The Government's motion was carried by 65 votes to 13.
