TROUBLE FORESEEN
RIOTS IN KARACHI GOVERNMENT CENSURED LONDON. March 22. The Times' Delhi correspondent states that the Government was virtually censured when a motion adjourning the Assembly in order to discuss the Karachi shooting was curried by 1)7 votes to ")2. The Opposition alleged that the authorities had failed to take sufficient precautions to prevent the development arising from a situation which had been foreseen for several days. Sir Henry Craik said that the magistrate's report, showed that the mob did not: intend to rehury the body, but merely to inflame the feelings against Hindus. The mob stoned two officials, overwhelmed the police and actually seized a soldier's rifle. If the soldiers had not fired the whole population would have suffered as the Hindus did in .1927.
