INDIA COMMISSION
INSUPERABLE OBSTACLE ROCK OF CASTE HATRED (Received April 13, 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 13. Mr. Gardiner, a retired police superintendent in the United Provinces, North India, who is on.a visit to Australia, said there was a feeling throughout India that it would be impossible for the Simon Commission to submit a report which would be satisfactory to all factions. The commission met with a great deal of hostility through a number of educated agitators working through the country endeavoring to arouse the people to extreme action, and no one could say what would happen when the report was made. ' He added that almost an insuperable obstacle to a successful form of administration was the intense caste bitterness between Hindus and Mohammedans. Many people were of the opinion that on this rock ot caste hatred would founder the hopes of an administration acceptable to all.
