VICEROY OF INDIA
RETURNING AFTER HOLIDAY.
CONSULTATIONS IN LONDON.
(Rec. 5.5. p.m.) Rugby, October 10. Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, who has just concluded three months’ leave in England, left London this morning accompanied by Lady Irwin for Marseilles en route to India. Lord Irwin has spent a considerable portion of his leave in London and has been in frequent consolation with the Secretary for India, Captain Wedgwood Benn, and other members of the Government. During the early part of his sojourn he lent his counsel to the Indian Central Committee, and The Times says that with good effect he urged both sides to show mutual regard and forbearance. It is added that atlhough there is no intention of interfering with the work of the Simon Constitutional Reform Commission by any pre-judgment of the great issues on which it is to pronounce in its report, which is expected in February? this will not preclude Lord Irwin from throwing light on reform problems in speeches he may make after resuming charge in India. —British Official Wireless.
