THE SITUATION IN INDIA
TO THE EDITOR. Sib, —It is a great pity that the Conservative Government in Britain is not able to take the broad view of Indian affairs. Its failure to grant the Central Body some degree of responsibility and its return to reactionary and repressive measures will alienate the sympathy of the moderate elements in India. Hitherto these elements have been pro-British. We are now embarking on the old Roman method of rule by decree enforced by bayonets, and the history of the Roman Empire and all others that have come to grief tells us what is the penalty of such confessions of political bankruptcy. We are sowing the wind of injustice, and. we will reap the whirlwind. “ The wheels of God grind slowly, but they .grind exceeding, small.” We can easily imprison Mr Gandhi, but “John Brown’s body lies amouldering in the grave.”—l am, etc., Kurow, January 7. Plato.
