RACIAL INEQUALITY.
VICEROY’S SPEECH CRITICISED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Delhi, June 11. Referring to Lord Reading’s Simla speech Gandhi writes to the paper Young India saying: Lord Reading’s speech was clothed with an air of unreality. It failed to recognise pastfailures and therefore failed to deliver a sincere message to expectant India. Gandhi waxes sarcastic about the infallibility of British rule and Lord Reading’s statement that racial inequality must cease. Gandhi concludes: “There is no more unreal proposition to the ear of the Indian than this, because experience belies it. The superiority of his race is a passion that has become almost a religion with the average Englishman, nor does he strive to conceal it from view. It obtrudes upon you in India as it does in the colonies and it is written in the statute book.”
