INDIA STIRRED
WAVE OF INDIGNATION CONFERENCE SCR APPED. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. CALCUTTA, Juue 29. A wave of indignation in India, even among moderate opinion, greeted Sir Samuel Hoare’s statement of India policy. The main criticism is directed at the scrapping of the Round Table Conference, which Indians hoped would be the leading instrument in framing the new Constitution. There is no support for the suggestion of Indian representation on the joint Parliamentary committee, as it is felt they would have little voice in the final work. As an instance of the public feeling, Sir Phiroze -Sethna. a prominent Liberal, declared in, an interview that Sir Samuel Hoare’s statement had departed from the original programme, which would tend to accentuate the distrust and resentment. He added that the Government had gone back on its promises, which had rallied the forces throughout the country in support of the conference procedure. The temper of the country at the moment is similar to the anger created by the appointment of the Simon Commission with no Indian representation.
